[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 think you simply crack the dynamic after a while: with almost all watches the novelty just wears off. What scratches the itch is different for different people but the conclusion is the same: You know the brands and the models already, you know what you can afford, and you know what you like. New (or new to you) watches just feel unnecessary. Embrace it, the alternative is the rat race :)
