Don't know about you all, but today I decided to wear my Daytona and was out of sync all day long. I only wear it about once or twice and month and today again showed me why. I can't stand not having the date on my watch. I know that everyone says "its on your phone", but its not the same.

Man I love my SubC Date!!!!!

Anyone else addicted to the date function on their watch??

No as I rarely need to know the date when I am not at my compter

bridgs · 13 November 2012, 11:38 AM

I have to have a date on all my watches.

Alain Lee · 13 November 2012, 11:41 AM

Right now, much preferred having a NO DATE watch. after experiencing my subc date got stucked a couple of times and not changing promptly as it should be.

FeelingTheBlues · 13 November 2012, 11:39 AM

As far as I'm concerned the date function is useful but I can live without it!

A date is not worth putting up with a bubble but I can't read the date on my DSSD. Toss up.

superdog · 13 November 2012, 11:54 AM

I tried to convince myself that I did not need a date.

I do though. I won't go back. I'd get rid of the cyclops, but not the date.

Shikar · 13 November 2012, 11:58 AM

I rarely wear my Daytona for the exact same reason!!! I want the date on my watches.

Regards.

mmmk604 · 13 November 2012, 12:00 PM

I just think the date completes a watch...and I do find myself taking a glimpse when I forget which day of the month it is.

77T · 13 November 2012, 12:08 PM

Daytona's are for fast people with good memories.

That's my homage to a Ferrari engineer's reply to a customer complaining about small brakes on the sports car - he said something like at Ferrari we make cars go fast not to stop.

IMHO - do not want to see a price hike on the Daytona just to get a date function that only helps the 2% who forget the date.

Give in to this and the next thing you know someone will want a DD-Daytona

sleddog · 13 November 2012, 12:36 PM

As long as I know the day of the week, that's good enough for me!

Well I don't know about you but given that I don't have more than two days off a month I'm always looking forward to them!

The day of the week has always been the one that gives me trouble.

I enjoy having a watch that doesn't have a date sometimes.
Imho
Its nice to not have to set a date for an occasional watch.

Yes, I can relate, I hate not having the date on my watch.

Hairdude1 · 13 November 2012, 02:04 PM

I am also a "Date" fan

lorsban · 13 November 2012, 02:45 PM

Need a date as well. It's just more natural to me to glance at my watch vs looking at my phone/computer.

I don't mind watches without date if they're dress watches that I use for formal occasions. In which case it's more like jewellery and not so much a tool anymore. Heck, I don't even need my dress watch to work very well as long as it "looks" the part. Lol

I definitely prefer a date. It seems that when I wear a watch without it, I am looking for it!

I am a huge date fan. My watches have to have a date.

ecsub44 · 13 November 2012, 03:36 PM

I find it wholly unnecessary for a watch to display the date. It's changes slowly enough (once per day) that I can keep up with it.

kilyung · 13 November 2012, 03:59 PM

I like a date but can live without.

TAKUYA · 13 November 2012, 04:49 PM

i'm fan of the date, but not "cyclops" at all. but i can live without it on the weekends. so my next watch will be "Daytona".

newbieincali · 13 November 2012, 04:59 PM

I agree I could never wear any watch without a date.

Andad · 13 November 2012, 06:25 PM

No date - no problemo.
