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…
Ive been into it since my first real adult watch in 2nd grade in 1992, a real 1970s seiko kinetic, yes I still have it. Over the yrs it will always wax and wane, ffs I have a smart watch on now and feel like Ive given up on life fully. But, you never fully lose a hobby, you just see other people from time to time.
