GMT vs. Dual time watches, are they the same?

No. Dual time watches and GMT watches are not the same, despite having the same intent. A GMT watch is designed to showcase time of another time zone through a 24-hour scale while a dual time watch provides the same function with the help of a 12-hour scale. However, these terms are used interchangeably in the market for a range of watches.
