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 spent 4 years going nuts and then finally figured out I would much rather own four pieces I loved than 10-20 ones I liked. I've also bought and sold like 50 watches and tried on many more in stores so I'm pretty sure the four I ended up with are perfect. Now I just enjoy those four and don't buy any more so I've mostly dipped out of the hobby. I still watch videos and reviews on new releases I like but can't see myself buying anymore for years
