No date watches

As I’ve gotten older, it’s gotten harder for me to read the date. Makes me appreciate the dreaded Rolex cyclops even more.

Say it ain't so!

I like the cyclops. It’s part of what makes Rolex Rolex. And I can’t see shit in low light anymore.

Me either, and I have 20-15 vision they say.

Honestly I use to only like watches with a date window. Because i used it all the time. Since I lost my job at Lockheed Martin i quit looking at the date as much. Now I noticed I have 3 watches without a date window. So I guess it isn't a hang up for me anymore.

On a day to day basis date versus no date is not a big deal to me. If the date works with the overall design, then great.

As Chris alluded to above, I'd much rather have no date than force a date window in where it becomes a distraction.

That said, when I travel on vacation, I do prefer watches with a date function. My favorite holidays are when I can leave the PC and mobile phones at home and just use the watch to let me remember what day it is.

I tend to wear my no date's on weekends and vacation when I don't really care what day it is.

I used to think date was a must but have gradually moved to almost exclusively ND watches. Was a pain for the first couple of weeks when I switched over but that's mostly muscle memory of looking at your watch for the date.

I realized that half the time I looked at the date I didn't really "see" it, meaning I didn't remember the date even 5 min later. Now I've gotten used to checking the date once in the am and remembering it for the day. So it their own way, ND watches are better for your mental acuity!

usually prefer watches with date or day/date for the complication and usefulness, but do keep a couple no-dates to appease the symmetry gods

I have both in my collection, but I do like the simplicity of just setting the time when rotating through my watches.

I’m thinking this. A no-date will be my retirement watch.

That's an interesting point. Makes sense and I want to try it... But now I have to buy a ND watch
