Question for folks who live in non-English speaking countries: do you guys wear watches with calendars in English?

Last time I was in a mall in Mexico City, I asked a guy behind the counter of some store if they had any watches that had either the months or days of week in Spanish... surprisingly, the answer was no. English only.

I have a Champion watch that (inexplicably) has days marked in English and Portuguese. It was purchased in Sweden.

I'm in Germany, my watch originally came in German + English, but when the clockwork had to be replaced recently, the replacement was only available in Italian + English.
