In descending order for me

(1) 12-hour chronograph
(2) Date
(3) Power reserve indicator
(4) Day-night
(5) Day
(6) Month
Hence my enthusiasm for 5960, though 5980, ROC, ROO, or Daytona will do in a pinch or for variety.

We see every complication imaginable
By: Thomas_3 : February 5th, 2020-07:59
on this forum, from simple date function right up to the most complicated perpetual calendar and astrological features. Of all the complications available today which do you find the most useful for your own personal use? I find the GMT feature to be the ...
For me personally

it would be the GMT function and also the power reserve function on a manual winding watch. The world timer is always a feast for the eyes especially one with an enamel dial but does one really need to know the time zones of more than two cities?The chron...
I think with complications
By: sham1 : February 5th, 2020-10:00
it is not so much with what people need rather than what the watchmaker/company are able to do. Some of the Jacob and Co watches showing off the planets and moon are amazing to look at, not very wearable but still very clever and creative. I have confined...

Good question yet I must answer with some nuance in it. For daily use I find the dual time zone the most practical useful complication there is. Being able to see at a glance what time it is in Europe where our son lives, or in New York where client is ba...

Most to least useful

Date, alarm, timezones, perpetual calendar, moon phase.
Nice topic!

For me the complications PR (for manual AND automatic movements), GMT and PC. Plus the features (no „complications“ - I know): magnetic field protection, WR and night readability. Best Thomas
For me the date is essential...

next would be day-of-the-week followed by moon phase. I live in a rather large city and even with all the wonderful parks and river paths there is a disconnect with the planets and constellations. The position of the moon gives me a touch into that aspect...
