Personally I find it more handy to know day (of week) than date (of month), but I don't think I've every seen a watch that does day-only, usually either date-only or day-date.

I think the idea here might be that people already know what day it is but they have to think about the date.

I've gone into the office on Saturday more often than I care to admit.

not once ever have I made that mistake. I might have woken up on a Saturday and thought it was a weekday, but well before appearing at work was that confusion cleared up. How does one do that more than once?

Even work from home is immediately cleared up once I look at my computer screen.
