I recently got into watch collecting and purchased a seiko 5. It set me back about 150 usd. I know that it is considered entry level in the watch world, but to me even this seems quite expensive. Its not that I can’t afford to spend more on a watch, its just that I think that spending 1000s of dollars on tour wrist isn’t worth it. This hobby can get absurdly expensive as you guys know. How much do you think people should spend on watches?

    Personally I draw the line at 500 more or less because I believe that objectively no watch is worth more than that. Of course other more expensive ones may seem more beautiful and have better credentials but that’s already a subjective judgment and if you want to spend more on it go for it…but until 500 I’d say it’s possible to objectively justify it still for some watches
