From video reviewers

The Wave Master GMT's notable feature is its 200M water resistance. A drawback is the rattle of the bracelet.

The Tudor Black Bay GMT is widely praised for its in-house movement offering local jumping GMT functionality, its impressive case finishing, and its vintage-inspired, drop-dead good looks. Reviewers highlight its strong value and consider it a quintessential sport watch for travelers.
