How do I enable the 'Date' in Apple Watch faces in Watch OS 7?

With the update to Watch OS 7 I am no longer able to choose having the date display on an 'analog' watch face... On faces that appear to support showing the date, it appears to be turned off and I cannot seem to turn it on.

Any thoughts?

Date on new watch software. I updated my watch to the latest software and the date is no longer an option to add to my watch faces. The faces that previously had the date, the option is turned to off and I cannot turn it on.

Apple Watch Face - Date Only I struggle to read much of anything on my Apple Watch without readers. I use the "Numerals Duo" face to display the time, which is great as I can see the time without having to put on readers. I have tried using all the faces that combine the date and time, but the date is displayed too small to read without putting on readers, and it's frustrating to have to put them on every time I want to check the date. I would love to be able to swipe to another face that shows just the date in similarly large format as Numerals Duo, but have been unable to find a way to do that. I don't think there's an option to be able to do this is there? For the Apple Watch Product Team ... this would be an accessibility feature that would greatly benefit the 20% of the world population who need reading glasses! Ideally a Date Face would display just the month and day portion of the date as the year is obvious and uses up a lot of screen space. Also ideally it would display the month as 3 letters so I don't get confused as to whether I'm looking at the time face or date face. Grateful for any tips

Apple Watch OS7: Chronograph Face- Where did the date option go? Hi- I updated my watch software to OS7. I use the Chronograph face with the date shown inside of the watch face. The option is available to put data in the face, but when you click on the option, it only lets me select "off". Is this a bug that will be worked out with updates? It's strange.
