Hi guys, the question is simple, I am trying to learn from your mistakes because I don't have money to make my own.
And I thought we could share some stories too.

Tissot PRX Quartz 40mm - Opinion wouldn't change if it was mechanical. I have a 7-inch wrist and even then, the Tissot just feels a bit too big for me. When I bought my Baume & Mercier it completely overtook the Tissot's role in my collection.

Hamilton Jazzmaster Open Heart - Got this when I was completely new to watches. It was a splurge buy where I was window shopping and just chose it because it looked cool. As time went on, I started to hate the open-heart design.

They're both great watches but unfortunately bought them too quickly and didn't spend enough time with them to realize my dislikes with them.

I don't work a desk job where I can wear my watches every day. So, what I realized is that I can never realistically have a 12+ watch collection. I learned that I need to be very selective of which watches I bring into my collection because some watches will end up getting little to no wrists time. And with limited wrist time it makes it even harder to really tell what you like/dislike about a watch.

Heard that a lot about open hearts. I still love them. What made you change
