How do I adjust my TAG Heuer GMT?
When the crown is in position 2, you turn the crown anti-clockwise to change the date and clockwise to move the GMT hand forward- you can only move the date and GMT hand forward. The easiest way to set the GMT hand is on the hour, that is, when the minute hand is at 12 o’clock.
How does the tag GMT Work?
The GMT watch function is just a second hour hand on the same watch face that’s geared to rotate once every 24 hours — or exactly half as fast as the other hour hand. The second hour hand points to a second time scale that reads to 24 instead of 12, typically located on the innermost portion of the watch dial.
How does TAG Heuer GMT Work?
How do I use the GMT function? TAG Heuer has opted for the classic way of reading and uses the bezel to set the 24 hour time of the selected time zone.

Why does my Tag Heuer run fast?
If a watch suddenly begins running extremely fast (20+ seconds per day to hours fast per day) it is usually an indication that the hairspring coils are magnetized, causing the coils to stick together. Magnetism can also cause a watch to stop or run slow; however, generally the watch will run fast.
