No day off in daily suggestions

Mine gives me a recovery ride once a week or so 30 mins at a low power.  If I overdo the recovery ride it asks me to do another one the following day.  Maybe you are fully recovered, or you are in a build phase and it will give you a recovery run after that?

Yes, I am still in the build-up phase. I'm supposed to do another recovery run today. Although I've been running for 12 days now, I don't feel exhausted. 

You can always ignore the watch and take a rest day. It won't get angry.

Is it normal that I've been told to run every day for almost 2 weeks?

By giving you a suggestion every day, modulating the workout intensity and duration based on your training status, it does indeed encourage you to train inideed every day. 

If you are young and healthy you might be able to train every day and be just fine. You will have a high training load and still keep your HRV balanced. Don't overshoot the target of each workout.

If you are above 50, you should train every other day, or maybe 3 days a week. The other day(s), you recover with mild/short cross training, you do mobility exercises and upper body strength (lower body strength is done the days of run/ride workouts). In addition, you should have one day of full rest per week.

The watch tends to encourage us to bump up the training load without upper limit (except an injury) to get the coveted productive status. Only when you have a race in your calendar will the training load be somewhat modulated up and down.

Remember that you make progress when your body adapts to the training stress. This adaptation happens when you recover, not when you train.

In the past, I was always advised to take a day or two off.

This looks right if you are younge, yes. Just keep doing this. The daily suggestions will adapt to your schedule. Keep your training focus balanced, don't be obsessed by keeping every single day training load in the green zone.

In doubt, choose a training block plan adapted to your level and age. There are plenty affordable plans everywhere. They can give you an idea of how often you should train. You can still do the DSW if you prefer its workouts and convenience, but you will have a proper plan periodization.

As a minimum!
