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.

My Seiko SNK807, Seiko SKX009, and Tissot Visodate all have an English/Spanish date wheel. I believe JDM Seiko watches have a Japanese/English date wheel.

My other three watches (Hamilton, Tudor, Rolex) are simple three-handers with no other complications.
