[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 was into watches well before the pandemic, but my reason for "losing interest" is different. The watch that I wear the most is now a Garmin Fenix 7. Technology made this relatively cheap watch more useful. I sill love watches, but the odds of me spending 10's of thousands of dollars on something have gone down exponentially. There are some watches that I might get some day, but the list is pretty short. With that being said, I won't be cashing out my existing collection. They just get used much less.
