I went on a watch face search for you and you were right about a huge face and one complication.
This is what I found:

This is what it looks like on my watch screen after I added the calendar complication.

I've worn a watch since I was a kid. The two most important things that I want to see on any watch is the date and time.
Since you have issues with seeing close, I bet that you've already figured out how to change your watch to see the "List" view of the installed apps, correct?
My eyesight is fine but I prefer to find an app in an alphabetical list rather than searching for tiny icons.
After switching to "List" view (if you haven't already), you can then go in and change the text size to bigger and you'll be able to read the list easier.
My thinking is that if you were to use the X-Large watch face with one complication and then we helped you make finding other things easier, then maybe it'll be a nice happy medium for you.
Please let me know if you need or would like help with these other settings.
Another option for you would be to ask for a jumbo with two complications by filling out and submitting this form:
