·I have to say, this would be absolutely perfect without it IMHO. Barely noticeable to the naked eye. Why?
Why put a date window?

·I do agree. While it’s not awful, it would have been nice without it. At least on the black dial variant, they color matched the date wheel.
It’s the same with this new release of their as well
The date seems far less obtrusive on the black dial and in fact, I didn’t even notice it at first glance, but it would be a bit cleaner without it.

·It’s seiko at least it’s not a day date. I see the point though probably could have skipped it on this one. I used to be petrified of having a no date watch but I recently went clean dial on a couple purchase and find if I repeat the date in my head 10x in the AM I can remember it 79.9% of the time

·One of my most worn watches is my dateless Daytona, my only complaint about the watch is that I do miss the date!
So while prior to owning it I did think that the inclusion of a date complication would mar the aesthetics I have found it lack an annoyance.
With that lovely looking mechanical chronograph Seiko ( I will be looking that model up online now) at least the date complication is small and unobtrusive but there when you need it and that to me makes that version all the more practical yet retaining it's very attractive appearance.

·Honestly, I wish Seiko would drop the Prospex logo from the dial and relegate it to just a signed crown. I find that more unappealing than that date window, IMO.

·Here in Oz the word “date” is a slang euphemism for arsehole, so I can understand your distress with something that displays its date!
To go a bit further we have the expression “calendar dog” which is a dog that always displays the date, ie. a dog with a docked tail or always holds it’s tail high.

·Was only stirring a Instagram mate, that loves this watch the other day.
“That date hole looks like it was put there with a hole punch”

·Very, very few watches display a date function where it doesn’t totally destroy the dial aesthetics.

·I would buy many more watches if they didn't have a date window -- those 2-tone Alpinists? Oh man, to die for, but oh, slap a date window on there. It's like a pizza party to get the masses to like it.
But they feel tacked on to me, like, "OH we have room for a 4mm square riiiiight there."
No, you didn't. Stop it.

·I just had an idea for a new complication. A hidden date window that opens to reveal the date with a pusher button. Downside is the random pusher button sticking out of the case.

·Is that even possible? 😜
Maybe not, I'm already wearing 3 watches today ...

·The damn 4:30 position is an absolute deal breaker for me. I hate it on every watch I’ve seen.
A date indicator located at 3:00 is traditional and okay, but the 6:00 position is much better balanced and doesn’t ruin the symmetry.

·Seiko could have done a little better with the balance on this one
At least it isn't this crazy whovian time piece
