A $300 GMT budget now covers three very different categories at Watchdives: low-cost Swiss-quartz GMTs, NH34 automatic GMTs, and newer 4Hz Hangzhou GMT watches. The right choice depends on whether you value compact size, rotating bezel function, titanium construction, high water resistance or the lowest purchase price.
This guide compares 10 currently purchasable GMT watches with listed prices below $300, checked on September 29, 2026. It is a current Watchdives-catalog shortlist rather than a ranking of every GMT watch on the market. Prices and availability can change by variant, so use the linked product page as the final source before ordering.

1. ADDIESDIVE AD2044 — Lowest-Priced Current GMT
The AD2044 is the lowest-priced current option in this shortlist at $78. It combines a Swiss 515-24H GMT quartz movement with a 39mm steel case, 48mm lug-to-lug length and stated 200m water resistance.
The current listing uses mineral glass and a 120-click unidirectional aluminum bezel. Choose it for price and quartz convenience, not because it matches the materials or movement architecture of the more expensive automatic options below.
2. ADDIESDIVE AD2035/AD2036 — 39mm Swiss-Quartz GMT
The AD2035/AD2036 is another low-cost Swiss 515 GMT option, currently listed at $85. Its 39mm case measures 48.5mm lug to lug and 12.8mm thick, with stated 200m water resistance.
Choose it over the AD2044 when its dial treatment and slightly slimmer listed profile better match your priorities. Both are quartz GMT watches, so the decision should come from the complete case, crystal, bezel and design rather than the movement family alone.
3. ADDIESDIVE AD2065 — Best Starting Point for a Smaller Wrist
The AD2065 is the smallest current GMT in this group: 36mm across, 46mm lug to lug and 11.3mm thick. It uses a Swiss 515 GMT quartz movement, fixed bezel and bubble mineral crystal.
At $89, it is also one of the least expensive. Choose it if compact dimensions and a simple everyday layout matter more than a rotating GMT bezel or mechanical movement.
4. Watchdives WD1993 — Slim 4Hz Automatic GMT
The WD1993 uses the Hangzhou 6460 automatic GMT movement at 28,800 vph / 4Hz. Its listed 40.5mm case, 47.5mm lug-to-lug length and 11.8mm thickness give it a relatively slim profile for a mechanical GMT.
The bezel is fixed and the current listing states water resistance tested to 100m. Choose it for high-beat mechanical character and everyday proportions rather than for a rotating GMT bezel.
5. Watchdives WD16570B V2 — Compact Automatic GMT
The WD16570B V2 uses the same Hangzhou 6460 family but packages it in a 37mm case with a 38mm bezel, 46mm lug-to-lug length and 11.8mm thickness including the crystal.
At $189, it is the most compact automatic GMT in this shortlist. The bezel is fixed and the current listing states tested 100m water resistance. If you want the movement background, see our 6460 movement guide.
6. Watchdives WD0014 — Vintage-Style NH34 GMT
The WD0014 is the larger NH34 option here, with a 41.5mm case, 48mm lug-to-lug length and 12.71mm thickness including the crystal. It uses a 24-click bidirectional aluminum GMT bezel and sapphire crystal.
The current listing gives 100m as the tested water-resistance figure. Choose it if you prefer an NH34 automatic, a rotating aluminum bezel and a larger vintage sports-watch footprint.
7. Watchdives WD16760 V2 — GMT Diver with 300m Listing
The WD16760 V2 starts at $229 in current purchasable configurations. It uses the NH34 automatic GMT movement with a 24-click bidirectional ceramic GMT bezel, sapphire crystal and a stated 300m water-resistance rating.
The listing gives a 40mm bezel, 48mm lug-to-lug length and 12.5mm thickness including the crystal. It is the strongest fit here when a high stated water-resistance number and rotating ceramic GMT bezel are major priorities.
8. San Martin SN0054G-F — Compact 6460 GMT with Rotating Bezel
The San Martin SN0054G-F uses an HZ6460 automatic GMT at 28,800 vph / 4Hz in a 38.3mm case. The current product page also states 25 jewels, 40 hours of energy storage and stop-seconds for this specific implementation.
Its 47.8mm lug-to-lug length, 12.25mm thickness, 24-click bidirectional GMT bezel and on-the-fly clasp give it a different ownership proposition from the fixed-bezel WD1993 and WD16570B V2.
9. San Martin SN0109G-A — 39mm High-Beat GMT
The SN0109G-A is currently $290 and also uses HZ6460 at 28,800 vph. Its listing states 25 jewels, 40 hours of energy storage and stop-seconds, with a 39mm steel case, 48.5mm lug-to-lug length and 12.25mm thickness.
Choose it if you want a slightly larger San Martin high-beat GMT than the SN0054G-F and prefer its top-hat sapphire, aluminum bezel and dial choices.
10. Watchdives x San Martin SN0121TF — Titanium GMT at the $300 Ceiling
The SN0121TF sits at the top of this budget at $299. It uses the Hangzhou 6465 automatic GMT at 28,800 vph in a 39mm Grade 5 titanium case with a Grade 2 titanium bracelet.
The listing gives a 47mm lug-to-lug length, 13.1mm thickness, 24-click bidirectional ceramic GMT bezel and stated 300m water resistance. Choose it if titanium construction is a priority and you are comfortable spending essentially the full $300 watch-only budget.
Quartz vs NH34 vs Hangzhou 6460/6465
Choose Swiss-quartz GMT if low price, grab-and-go use and lower day-to-day maintenance matter most. The AD2044, AD2035/AD2036 and AD2065 are all below $100 at the latest check.
Choose NH34 if you want a familiar automatic GMT platform and prefer the WD0014 or WD16760 designs. Their bezel and water-resistance specifications differ substantially, so the shared movement does not make the watches interchangeable.
Choose Hangzhou 6460 / HZ6460 if a 4Hz automatic GMT is part of the appeal. Current options range from the compact WD16570B V2 to rotating-bezel San Martin models. The SN0121TF uses the related 6465 and adds titanium construction.
How to Choose a GMT Watch Under $300
Start with the movement type. Decide first whether you actually want mechanical ownership or simply need a second time zone. Then compare size, bezel function and water resistance.
Do not judge fit from diameter alone. The 36mm AD2065 is compact, but 37–40mm mechanical GMTs can also remain wearable when lug-to-lug length is controlled. Compare dimensions with a watch you already know fits.
Check whether the bezel rotates. The WD1993 and WD16570B V2 use fixed bezels; WD16760 V2, WD0014, SN0054G-F and SN0121TF use rotating GMT bezels. These designs solve different use cases.
Stay below your real budget. A watch listed at $299 leaves almost no room below a strict $300 delivered-total limit. Shipping, tax and duties can change the final cost.
Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. At the September 29 check, the WD1993 was $179 and the WD16570B V2 was $189. Both use Hangzhou 6460 automatic GMT movements.
What is the cheapest current GMT watch in this list?
The ADDIESDIVE AD2044 was $78 at the latest check. It uses a Swiss 515-24H quartz GMT movement.
What is the smallest current GMT here?
The ADDIESDIVE AD2065 has the smallest listed case at 36mm. Among the current automatic models, the WD16570B V2 has a 37mm case.
Which models in this list are titanium?
The SN0121TF uses a Grade 5 titanium case and Grade 2 titanium bracelet. The other nine models in this current shortlist use stainless-steel cases.
Are all GMT watches suitable for diving?
No. A GMT complication only adds a second-time-zone display. Water resistance, crown, case construction and bezel function belong to the complete watch. Use the exact product's documented water-use guidance.
Final Takeaway
Under $300, the current Watchdives GMT catalog spans far more than one design. The AD2044 and AD2035/AD2036 cover inexpensive Swiss-quartz GMTs; the AD2065 is the compact choice; WD1993 and WD16570B V2 bring 4Hz automatic GMTs below $200; WD0014 and WD16760 V2 cover NH34 sports GMTs; San Martin adds compact high-beat 6460 choices; and the SN0121TF uses the full budget for titanium construction.
