[Question] Anyone losing interest in the hobby? (alien.top)

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 have 4 watches, I never wear one of them and vary use of the other three. The one I wear the most is my $20 dollar stainless Casio. I was recently thinking about getting a smart watch but will most likely go with the smart ring, just to keep tabs on whatever the ring picks up, heart rate, etc... I don't have a chronometer apart from the Casio, I was thinking of a Studio Underdog, Stowa chronometer, Timex Waterbury, or maybe a Tudor. I haven't lost interest as much as I've become more comfortable.
