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[1] 1980s Raketa has an interesting visual display of the day of the week. The red dot corresponds to the current day. It does however show the date as a number on the bottom as well.
