I generally see a watch I think is cool, research it to see if it's something I'll actually like/will wear ...and then I make myself wait 2 weeks to a month. I look at other watches similar to that one. I walk away and look at completely different sorts of watches, and then come back a few days later to see if I still love it. Then when I buy it, if I put it on and I don't like it as much as I thought I would, I send it right back. My Orient Bambino went back to Amazon the same day just because it looked dressier on my wrist than I thought it would and I knew I'd never wear it.
So like, I'll see a watch and go 'yess I want' in the first minute of looking at it, but I make myself wait a bit. That said, I still fall out of love with watches, or just don't end up wearing them much because I like other things better. When that happens, move the watch along to someone else and boom, there's an open spot in the watch box.
This is a most mature approach and I will take it all on board, thanks.
