I think watch collecting is a pursuit to curating the smallest, most robust set of watches for every scenario.

Right now, I think it is:

  1. Sport/Daily/GADA
  2. Dress
  3. Tool (G Shock or Workout smart watch)
  4. Something fit for a NATO or Strap Monster

So my question is two fold:

What do you think is the tightest, most robust way to categorize the perfect watch set?

The reason I like #4 is because it allows for flexibility. Basically do you prefer a dive or a field or a flieger XYZ.

What do you think are the categories that fit in my current #4?

p.s. when expanding based on diversity of face color/type of material/price range/brand I think a watch collection can and will expand endlessly from 4, but essentially still would fit as variants within one of the 4 perfect categories.
