Not a fan of the date window or a cyclops lens. They both have their places and I won't discount an otherwise amazing watch for these reasons, but I do prefer a cleaner more minimalist look. But I do have dates watches. Who doesn't.
My wife and I have a matching Tissot set we wear on special occasions. Automatics. I'm not so OCD that I mind them sitting unwound in the case, but I am OCD enough that I set them before we wear them on a date.. and enough that the date needs to be correct.. (and the seconds hands need to be in sync, since I'm setting them anyway. LOL!) If only for the evening.
But, quite literally, I can't see hers at all. First time I set them I set my phone on the dresser with the camera open and zoomed, hanging half off, so I could see the damn date by holding the watch under it. Ugh.
Can't see the date, but if I know it's wrong I can't stand it.
I now have a lighted magnifier on my desk for just such similar needs! Cyclops! But not on my wrist.
Right.. tons of great options and lots of great suggestions already posted.
To add a little, I pretty much stick to NATO styles because I need a larger than average length. Recently was intrigued by Barton's Silicone Elite (as it comes with two of the hole side pieces, one of which is long and fits!) I ordered a batch (ironically only one of the Elite series) and was super impressed with it! For sure some summer action!
So, from that collection, a couple options to toss into the mix:
Is that face more of a Mint? Or more of an Aqua? Not for me to decide, here's something leaning both ways..
Smoke Grey and Mint

Love me some titanium and Damascus! This.. a blend of the two.. I lOVE it! I'd like to learn more.
