Getting the date and day of week

What function does a person call to get the date and day of week?

In general, I am having considerable trouble finding functions in the API to accomplish simple things. I am looking here at the api documentation: http://developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/api-docs/

For example, ClockTime is listed in the API but this only provides DST, hours, minutes, seconds and timeZoneOffset. There is no date information and there is no Date function in the API. However, I know this is possible as I have seen other watch faces display the date as well as the day of week.

Is there another API resource that is more detailed?

Thanks.

Have a look at the Time and Gregorian modules. Ask additional questions as they come up.

The information is all there.

Thanks. I was looking at the Time module and focussed on the classes (moment and duration) but bypassed the module. Still wrapping my head around this monkey c hierarchy.

Yeah. You are asking a simple question that the documentation answers, so I figured you were just wading around. In this case it seems easier to just point you in the right direction than to go into the gritty details.
