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 watches is like 10% of the hobby for me. One can be an enthusiast without actually owning anything.

      so what are the kinds of things you do to maintain the passion?

        I get more out of collecting knowledge than collecting watches. I enjoy reading, visiting shops, talking to people, local meetups, etc.
