Favorite Date Window on a Specific Watch? Here Is Mine!
I was reading a post by @ryouma on 12:00 date windows and it got me thinking more broadly about date windows in general. Of course, there is the wider conversation about whether one prefers watches with or without a date window. Also, there are discussions about companies that execute date windows well or bad, and best position on the dial for a date window. Personally, I prefer the 6:00 position for a date window in general.

Certina DS Podium
I also think the color can affect how well a date window works. It is one of the reasons I like my new Islander Bayport

I also like the dial day or date complications.

However, my favorite date window on one of my watches is the 4:00 date window on my Citizen Promaster. I generally don't really like 4:00 or 4:30 date windows, but this one just works for me.
What is your favorite date complication on one of your watches?
LúmëgaudAnar is the correct spelling, and means time machine of the sun in Quenya. I've been collecting for a few years and have a decent collection of mostly budget and entry-level watches with a few...
Haven’t given the date window so much thought really. But after wearing my SPB almost 2 weeks in a row I’ll say it works just fine. No distraction from the datewindow to the dial. I think the old version, like mine, works better regarding the date function than the new one.
Right here. I have no idea why, but this just looks amazing to me.
Like, I literally know nothing about Glashutte Original. I have no idea if they're good or bad watches. All I know is that when they put a date window on a watch, that date window looks awesome.
Is it weird to want a watch solely because of how well the date is displayed???
The Citizen is very cool. Have to say my favorite. The Glashutte pieces are beautiful. I have only seen a few on wrist. Said to be very well built and accurate
One that has a frame if it's supposed to have a frame... isn't that right @Deeperblue ? 🙄
The picture of the Certina is actually the picture of the Tissot again. 😉
Nice and I like the three o'clock position and next to the three o'clock position.
