I’m so glad that you have asked this as I’ve been wondering what peoples opinions on this matter are.

I have a small collection of three nearly identical watches in different color schemes; all of which have the date wheel. However, I want to add one more variant of the same watch to my collection that has a domed sapphire crystal, a much better blue lume application and no date wheel. But, I am so used to the date wheel and do often find it useful because it is easier for me to look at my wrist than it is for me to unlock my phone and look at the home screen in order to quickly view the current date. If I do get this watch variant, it would essentially become my primary, daily worn timepiece (whereas the other variants that I own are saved for the weekends or for events that I am attending).

So, based on what others have said here (along with my own thoughts and date-wheel preference), I am still confused and don’t know what to do, haha.
