big surmenu bar
In Big Sur the notification toggle in the menu bar is now the clock.
I am currently using iStat Menu to display the clock in the menu bar, so it looks bad having two times in the bar.
Example:
Is there way to set Big Sur notification back to the Catalina icon as before?
UPDATE
Removed my original answer. Here is a completely different approach which I prefer over my original solution. This version actually uses “Image Events” scripting addition.
This script will get the names of the displays connected to your computer. The returned values of “display "Display 1" will always be “which monitor has the menu bar in AppleScript?”
property activeDesktop : missing value
property activeDesktopResolution : missing value
set displayNames to {}
tell application "Image Events"
set theDisplays to displays
repeat with i from 1 to number of items in theDisplays
set this_item to item i of theDisplays
set theName to name of display profile of item i of theDisplays
set end of displayNames to theName
set activeDesktop to item 1 of displayNames
end repeat
end tell
tell application "Finder"
set activeDesktopResolution to bounds of window of desktop
set activeDesktopResolution to items 3 thru 4 of activeDesktopResolution
end tell
set theResultz to display dialog activeDesktop & " " & item 1 of activeDesktopResolution & " x " & item 2 of activeDesktopResolution ¬
buttons ¬
"OK" with title ¬
"Your Current Display and Its Resolution" with icon 1 ¬
giving up after 10
The option is there, Preferences -> Dock & Menu Bar -> Clock and select "Show Date".

In terminal, write:
Not what you want but close enough as it makes it a single clock icon
