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.

Had a phase where I would just buy any good deal on a watch, and I ended up with a Seiko SUN023P1.

I get that some people love them, but I hated it. Bought it second hand and it was just way too big for me and everything about it felt wrong and it was underwhelming in every way possible. Form over function I guess. Was really difficult to sell as well, so I had to put it up as a bundle.

But it did teach me about watch dimensions in ways I just could not have learned otherwise. It also helped me prioritize in what I really wanted to wear, so these days I only own a Seiko 5 GMT. Don't need anything else.
