I was using that Solar face with no complications (and set to the darkest color possible) for a while. I think it's the closest thing to elegant that's available for the Apple Watch. I keep Solar as a face I can switch to, but I've recently switch the XLarge with just the date as the complication. I get annoyed when I go to look at the date and the watch hands are blocking it, and my memory is horrible so I have to get reminded of the date often.
