Mon-Sun date indicator?

I looked into that. I love the idea of it being solar powered. But I don't like the look of that shiny backplate.
You got me thinking about different versions of this watch. I found this https://shockbase.org/watches/modelcode.php and was wondering if these actually differ in any way. Apart from where they are being sold. Does anyone know?
Where I live it's `DD.MM.`, and where I grew up it's `DD-MM` or `DD/MM` - always the day first. Still, to avoid confusion (in case I need to share with Americans, e.g.), I also prefer to always use `YYYY-MM-DD` whenever I'm given the freedom. Therefore, I could see MM-DD as its shorthand.
Of course, MMM-DD is much much better to remove ambiguity, but this watch doesn't do that unfortunately.
But to look on the bright side: it does 24h 😀 am/pm still confuses me. (For Americans who don't understand why: in 24h-clocks, the number reset (23:59 to 00:00) occurs when the date changes i.e. when a new day starts. In 12h-clocks, the number reset (12:59 to 01:00 in that case) occurs an hour into the new day. Also, I never know if 12:00 am comes after 11:59 am or 11:59 pm.)
Maybe we should leave these two cans closed in this thread ;)
