GMT Watch Face

[KennyJr]

I'll make this quick. On my Watch OS7 GMT watch face, just below the 12 are the letters PD. If I lived on the West I would presume it meant Pacific Daylight time but where I live it's Mountain Daylight time. There's no complication to edit there and I've Googled the subject without success. This is probably something embarrassingly simple but it's beyond me. Would someone help me out here please.

It does not mean PDT but PONTA DELGADA. Have the watch face active and use the Digital Crown to scroll through the setting (make sure you have the watch face active and not editing) and you can change it

PD stand for Ponta Delgada, Azores.
Scroll the crown to select another city (or your own location indicated by location arrow), and then tap the check mark to set it.
Edit: as @Lunfai just said

That's the initials for the 2nd time zone you have configured.

Mine says LON. I think it is misspelled LION.

Thank you everybody for heading me off in the right directions.

Solved .. Everybody is right - Just scroll the crown to select time zones. My goal was to set my second time zone to Greenwich Mean Time:

The current time in Ponta Delgada (PD) Azoras, Portugal is currently the same as Coordinated Universal Time - UTC (formally GMT) but only until Daylight Savings Time ends on 10/26/20. Then one must switch to LONdon time which will go off Daylight Savings Time on that date (they call their DST BST - British Summer Time - includes Greenwich).

So .. If one wants to maintain UTC (formally GMT), We’ll need to change time zones twice a year on the Apple Watch GMT watch face. It would be good if Apple would put UTC (or GMT for that matter) as an option when scrolling through those time zones.

P.S. Zulu time (military time) is the same as UTC (no DST allowed).

Yes, I had the exact same issue.
Solution:
In the Clock app on your iPhone, in World Clock tab, add "UTC" to your list of cities.
It will then show up as a choice in the GMT watch

Thank you Wilberforce .. Well done!

Also, you can change city abbreviation in Watch app on iPhone so you might want to change LON to GMT.

LON follows daylight savings time too.
The solution as said above is to add UTC to the world clock, then it can easily be selected
