Why people convert Santiago to WET time
- Scheduling a call from Santiago to WET: a 10:00 AM start in Santiago lands at 1:00 PM in WET, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.

- Coordinating a Santiago-based team with WET contacts: quoting times in the other side's local clock — not your own — removes the single biggest source of missed meetings.
