Aspects of a watch you feel are overrated

[hayday]

This goes with the previous post of what complications and features don't bother you. Let's dial it up a notch and see which ones we feel are utterly unnecessary.

Mine is water resistance that exceeds 50m. That is more than enough for the pool. It may be worth having a 300m (3000m?) watch if I frequently dived, but I don't. The overwhelming majority of my watches never get wet so excessive water resistance is useless.

Lately it's the date... but funny enough there has been a few times lately I've looked down at my Hamilton to check the date and I've had to pull out my phone to check (which was annoying). I find a date useful, but I also like the aesthetics of a dateless dial, even sports watches... I prefer the no date Sub over the date version...

Dates on a dress watch are especially overrated for me, but it seems the norm with the lesser expensive ones like my Orients... not a deal breaker but If I were a watch designer the date on a dress watch would be the first to go.

That being said my current most desirable watch (that I want to get) has a date (with a cyclops) so...

Really, My Turtle sees the ocean at least a few times a week. I'd feel naked without a watch on my wrist. I'm only watchless while showering or sleeping.
