After a certain age we tend to see less closely and the magnifying glass is comfortable.

I think Rolex has painted itself into a corner with the Cyclops. It's a 70-year-old magnification aid for a tiny date-window on a 36mm watch, which gathers dirt round the edges and only works if you look at it pretty much straight-on. Even at a very slight angle it obscures the date.

On today’s sports models, Rolex could easily make the date larger and drop the Cyclops (I have many other watches with larger, clearly legible dates, not requiring my reading glasses) but they seem to keep making the date deliberately small so that the “iconic” Cyclops seems more useful than it really is.
