Unnecessary Complications, day 3. Yes, most of the calendar stuff would qualify, especially the 24h subdial, but primarily I am thinking: pulsometer.

That’s very cool. I’ve not come across a pulsometer function before, I’d find that quite useful. I think the month function puts me off though as my birthday is in April and it’s just an inbetween dot. My mum, son, wife, daughter and dad’s birthdays are in January, March, May, July and September respectively so they are on there, but it should be all about me shouldn’t it?😂

The reason I'm viewing the pulsometer as unnecessary is simply that the complication is (i) rather busy on the dial, (ii) would be used once in a blue moon, (iii) by then you would have forgotten what the pulsometer display means, and (iv) what it actually does mean is some basic arithmetic you can do without a pulsometer: when the k-th part of a minute passes till you get to 30 beats you have measured 30/k beats per minute. In the real world you'd measure the beats for 20s and triple the number, or something to that effect.
Regarding a month display that does not neglect April, Lobinni has you covered:

Excellent, glad they’ve not neglected us odd-monthers!
