Complications Explained: The Date

The date function is a very common complication that is found in watches. It tells you just that - the date of the month. There are many different ways of representing the date function on a watch. Some watches have their own windows that display the date like on many Rolex models like the DateJust. Some have a pointer that points to the date like on many Jaeger LeCoultre watches. It can be located on a sub-dial or on its own display. Regardless of how it is displayed, the date function can be very useful to everyday life. Now you probably are thinking that why have the date on the watch when it is on your phone. That is true, every complication in a watch can be located on a phone. But don’t you feel cooler looking at your watch for that information?

Enjoy!
