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.

In my opinion, you can't, until it's too late. You need to actually wear them for a while, by which point you've committed to the purchase. I have a bunch of watches, just like I have a bunch of coats and a bunch of shoes. I guess I could spend 5X the amount on a single expensive coat or expensive pair of shoes, but I'd rather have a collection.

TL;DR don't get into watches, it's a money pit!

I def don't see myself turning watches into a hobby, but after my grandpas watch was stolen almost 10 years ago I've been slowly considering a replacement. I started with looking at Fossil and have come so very far 😂
