Let me tell you this, and this is coming from experience. It’s nice to have a collection. You get to wear different watches, depending on your mood and the situation. But man, I wish I saved my money on a bunch of impulse purchases. I have a couple watches where I saved for months, sometimes years, and those watches are always my favorites. You just appreciate them more, because of the time spent saving for them. You have a collection now, and it’s not bad at all. But next time you want to buy a watch, consider saving your money, and looking for something you REALLY want. Like something you can’t live without. I bought my Santos de Cartier after saving for a full year, and I love that watch more than some of my family members lol. Nice collection, and enjoy the journey!

Also, FWIW, my rule has always been this: Every week, I put $100 into my watch savings. I realize that as a college student, you probably don’t have this luxury. However, I assume you have some sort of income, and what you can do if you’re serious about collecting is, make some type of budget. Even if it’s $10 a week. And instead of impulse buying something that you won’t wear in a year, you’ll be able to save up for something that you’ll give to your children someday. Good luck to you.
