Like a lot of people, I got really interested in watches during the pandemic when I had extra time on my hands, and disposable income that I couldn’t spend on other things. Like many, I dove head first into learning as much as I could from Youtube, websites, books, etc.
But now a few years later, does anyone else feel like they’re losing interest in the hobby?
I still love the watches that I bought, but now I’m more likely to spend my disposable income on trips/restaurants/concerts etc.
How do you keep the passion going when the initial love affair is over? And when I’m not actively buying new watches…
Buying is the first bang. It’s exciting and fun. But it’s nowhere near the climax. For me, the longer I have a watch and the more I love it and the more life I live wearing it, the better it gets and the more enjoyment I get from it. There is no peak, it just grows slowly and patiently.
