Yes, I never appreciated the cyclops until I hit my 50s. Love 'em now!
But 50mm is too big and heavy lah.
Like @nightsafari, I have no issue with telling time on any regular dial and hands. It's the bloody date window, so small! There are watches in the "sweet spot" range 38-42mm that have larger than normal date windows. Like these Glashutte Big Date models. I believe Seiko and Citizen also have big date models but are mostly quartz.
synthetic straps with a lightweight watch should do fine now...
I think the metal straps really take a bite out of you because of the weight of the watch. I had a lighter weight watch with a metal bracelet. All day comfortable. A heavier watch only can tahan 1-2 hours at a time.
Or no-date watches. They have a cleaner dial, like boss Sam's BB58. Some folks just like the clean look, without the clutter. Besides, it's easier and quicker to set time and not having to bother with the date.
the glashutte is nice too!
that's something I still can't make up my mind about. date or no date. When I have it, I gripe about setting. When I don't have it, I gripe about having to check elsewhere....
How about this IWC Grande Complication ? You get perpetual calendar all the way to year 2499, moon-phase, chronograph and even a 21-second mechanical alarm !
Same here, I am still struggling with it. I was told to just bite the bullet and get a no-date watch. And that I can always use my phone to tell me the date. I tell you, our world is upside down these days!
If the watch is not worn before the power reserve runs out, or if it's not on a winder, it will take forever to dial in all the readings. Headache sia!
ok. this is something I really can't stand. Grand complication watches I run far, far away.
First and foremost, where got money.
But secondly so much maintenance. You got to keep that thing on watchwinder forever right?
Thirdly and very applicable to a lot of people is I can't stand weight. I love mechanical but I can't stand weight so that's why I have a thing for earlier rolexes before they became bloated.
But I don't mind admiring it...
