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...

that's a good question. I always liked watches but didn't know much about them. But once I had extra cash with nothing else to spend it on during the pandemic, I figured I would splurge on a luxury watch. Then I went down the rabbit hole of learning about different brands, models, complications, etc.

I guess I would suggest that you take whatever it was that you learned about that made them interesting to you and explore that further

Sounds a lot like there's at least 3 whole sides you never knew about. Get digging again
