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 started in a similar fashion. I wouldn't say that I've lost interest though. I've found what kind of watches I like and I started to narrow my scope towards them. For example, when I started, I thought I needed different styles of watches. Then I saw some of those watches collect dust as I gravitated towards ones I actually wore. It's always healthy to take a break, enjoy what you have, and then add/replace as you see fit.
