With or without is fine with me.

I prefer balanced dials and well thoughtout designs.

What I cannot stand and gets in the way is that stupid date magnifier known as a cyclops That bothers me more than the date/no date

I prefer the look of watches without the date. It's a useful feature but I've never seen a watch with a date where I thought it improved the look of the watch.

On a dress watch, "no date" is mandatory for me, and I don't even like a second hand. On my daily watch, the date is a very useful function.

My last watch didn't have a date and it was annoying for me.

No date needed for me. I prefer the symmetry of a watch with no date.

Dateless watches don't bother me at all. If I grab a watch with date out of collection for some wrist time, I don't even bother to set it to the right date either.
