I mainly use the Activity Digital watch face with the date appearing at the bottom. Date no longer shows up as a complication option at any of the positions for watch faces. Is this specific to Apple Watch Series # or is it a Watch OS 7 bug for all Apple Watches?
Apple Watch
Bingo! Didn’t even know that I deleted the calendar app. Then after downloading it I just hid the app in the App Library, and it’s out of the way. Thanks.
It is not iCalendar it is the stock Apple IOS Calendar
I just had this today. Downloaded the calendar app to my phone. Kept trying from my phone and it wouldn't show up in my app list. But then I went onto my watch (which did have the calendar app on the screen with all the apps now). I did the long press on my watch face, edited it, and was able to select the calendar as a complication to go into the face where it had been before. But I had to do it on my watch, not my phone.
The 'fix' was about 6 hrs after my last post when Apple quickly updated to iOS 14.0.1 and watch 7.0.1.
The date immediately appeared on my watch once that update happened.
Now the date complication shows on both iPhone and watch.
I agree, this is ridiculous. Why make something more complicated than it was before? I don’t use Apple’s default calendar so I removed it. Makes no sense to incorporate such a simple feature, the date, into an unnecessary app. Just another example of apple forcing its users to use their products only. Once my watch and phone expire, I’m switching to Android products. Already went back to Windows when my Mac died.

I think it might have been called iCalendar a long time ago. Anyway, now it’s just Calendar. Make sure it’s the one that Apple is the developer.
Date is missing as complication in Watch OS7
