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...

I wouldn't say losing interest is the right word. Its the same with any hobby. Sometimes Im really into movies, then I enter a slump, same with books and video games.

With watches Im ok with not buying a bunch, and don't really want anymore except a dress piece. What I like is seeing other people's collections, and different content. And sometimes I don't even feel like watching that
