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.

This would actually be a very nice complication, as it would never need to be reset, as long as the watch stays wound. I’m surprised it’s not something I’ve seen, or even thought of.

I ended up settling on no-date watches, as I find setting the date to be annoying, and it’s not something I need that often. When I do need it, I have my phone. I think I’d ultimately feel the same way about a day of the week complication.
