[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...

If you’re content with what you’ve got and aren’t energized by researching/learning at the moment, set the “hobby” aside. Wear your watches as they are intended, pursue other interests, and at some point maybe you’ll get the itch to start digging into it again either just out of pure interest or in anticipation or desire to buy something new. Or maybe you’ll just move on, and you’ll have the watches you bought for life as a relic of this period in your life. That’s totally fine.
