Wow we have a really similar collection. Definitely a chronograph. I have the Tag F1 Chrono and love it.

Similar to what others have said, don’t get many cheaper ones. Save for the one you like the most.

Saying that, the G-shock “Casioak” everybody seems to love. I couldn’t even read the digital layout and it kept losing an hour inexplicably so I sold it.

Citizen Satellite Wave, just didn’t like it pretty much as soon as I got it home. It was a good reliable watch just kinda felt cheesy so I didn’t wear it, I sold that on too.

There’s been others over the years, but I have a small collection of watches I really like and/or have a story

Thanks to people in this sub and youtube reviews/videos, I have the Spirit Zulu and I’m very happy with it. I really like the Ultrachron and I plan to purchase that soon. I have a lot of respect for the brand. Unfortunately, due to where I live I’m going to have to wait until next spring before I can see one. (seasonal AD stores)

I’m wish I had some other people to talk to about watches irl and just kinda nerd over them. I think that would help keep my enthusiasm. Unfortunately nobody I know cares.

shoutout to Tag’s website for setting the time automatically in the browser on their watches. Although I find that skeleton pretty illegible.
