    A completely separate note to the topic of this video, when you spoke of your Dad and his watch, you reminded me of when I was young, probably around 1973. I was in a bus station with my Dad when he taught me to read a 24 hour clock as part of reading the bus timetable. Thank you for triggering that very special memory 😁👍🏻🙏

    I sold my collection when I realised that I had become a flipper. I bought one watch instead and Ive worn it close to a year every day now. I appreciate this watch more than I ever did with much more expensive pieces in my collection. Just to tickle the hobby a bit Im thinking about establishing a one watch per year rule. I intend to add a Patek as a dresswatch next year for my birthday. Im really happy I made learning the center of the hobby and not buying anymore

Then I discovered they come in a 12 slot option.. and to top it all they stack really nicely as well..still looking for the answer to life the universe and everything.. such as how many watches to have in your collection..of course it’s 42..

    Steve Jukic My dad’s Raketa which he wore daily from 1985 until 2005 still works great today and has its original acrylic. My dad was an accountant so that probably helped a bit but it is still impressive. Same with a Seiko in my family which was never serviced and still works (though it’s over a minute fast per day), and it was worn daily from 1976 until somewhere in the 90’s, then worn occasionally until these days, my wife still wears it at least once in a month or two. I pretty much doubt reliability is something only some brands have, but more that it’s something common for jeweled mechanical watches.

    My dad was a one watch guy. After he passed I went through his stuff and found that he would spend about a week's salary on a watch and keep it (and get it serviced) for many years. I think a week's salary is quite a bit more than most folks spend on a watch so that tells me that he wasn't necessarily a watch enthusiast but he did value a nice piece. I have spent as much as a month's income on a piece and once two week's income but mostly less than a week's. I currently have 8 watches.

    Great video, I really enjoyed it. My father had a mid 1980s Casio G-shock Square for years, I believe a DW-5300. It was his only watch. He wore it for years even after the resin broke off the steel case. He eventually lost it. He noe has the closet g-shock to it, the DW-5600-IE. You really don’t need a watch anymore. However, for me personally, it would be very inconvenient not to have one. I like to always know what time it is, regardless of what I’m doing. I would find using a smartphone as a watch do be a pain, while a wristwatch is always right there. I have a G-Shock DW-5600-Ie as my workwatch/beater, can take almost anything and is replaceable if needed for under $50. I have too many watches, but I know I don’t need them, I wanted to have them because I made the decision to get them. I would agree that we come up with reasons to purchase items (not just watches) to justify the cost.

    Beautifully presented conundrum! My watches are linked to my memories in a very clear way. My first watch aged 8 was from my father, a small black-faced mechanical Citizen watch. I saw the whole world in that watch and can pinpoint the moment when I was hooked. My Father owned a Seiko Bellmatic and later when better off wore a Rolex Sub. The passion was fuelled for life and the memories, alongside my many cars motorbikes and acoustic guitars, in the intervening 50 years have all clearly been points of time and emotion in my life. So, objects are wonderful signposts for the memory, to me anyway. Your point about want or need! Bang on! I used to own some twenty-five watches. I have weaned myself off. I now own A Rolex, A Farer GMT, An Invicta Pro Diver, a G shock. Finally, the Citizen Diver you recently reviewed. I have had mine for five years, my go-to off work watch. Really lovely subject, beautifully presented. Thank you.

The second: a watch that fits whatever i like to do on my free time ("weekend" watch). The third: a free pass. just somethin i like even if it doesnt serve a particular function (the "because im a watch enthusiast" watch 😂)

    This was really great. You hear the "buy experiences not things" angle all the time, but it's nice to hear the opposite perspective for a change, that it's also OK to build memories around hobbies that you are passionate about. I am in your camp, where I generally find traveling for vacations to be more stressful than relaxing, and once the vacation is over, it's over. Conversely, a well-made, functional, or beautiful object can potentially last a lifetime and brighten your day on a regular basis. Watches in particular are kind of unique as a hobby item in that they can be both a collectible, material good and a sort of "totem" that triggers memories of experiences that happened while you were wearing the watch.

    Huh. I sort of run my collection in cycles. I pull out a dozen watches, wear them, switching between them, wearing 2 or 3 different ones in a day, and then I pull out a different dozen from the safe after 5-10 weeks, put the first dozen back in the empty spaces in the watch cases, lather, rinse, repeat. I think I've got 4-5 dozen. Some just don't get worn at all, but they get taken out as choices or to hold or to remember when I got them. They're still appreciated, and I wouldn't get rid of them. Then I have a box of cheap craptastic watches that I don't count in the collection, and they're just things I got on a whim and I can treat like dirt and don't care if I break or scratch up or get muddy or greasy -- the disposables (not purchased that way -- they "graduated"). I've never sold a watch. I still have every single watch I've ever had since I was a kid. When you're in your 50s and you like watches, a collection just sort of happens. I am not a collector, yet I have a collection.

    Interesting presentation. Specifically your retort about spending your money on a vacation, or some other experience that will create memories. I think there is something to this. I know people who, for example, go on cruises. Past a certain threshold, the cruises will blend into one another. And, as you say, sometimes the thing that will connect you to the memory is a thing, like a watch, either that you bought, or that was on your wrist on a certain date. BTW, that sort of thing only works if you have a watch of good enough quality to still be worth owning 5, 10, or 15 years on.

    I would make a distinction between "serious" watch collecting (where the watches are more or less collected for the sake of collecting) and adding more watches for specific use cases. The simplest example would be a 3 piece "dress watch - sports/allround watch - beater watch" "collection". Then of course, one would want additional watches to match one's wardrobe, or certain complications like a second time zone or all the functions Casio watches come with. I would argue that it is not necessarily watch collecting as long as watches are bought for specific use cases.

    This is a good talk about buying psychology. Transcends through different products. There isn’t a number answer. I have created new categories to buy things such as knives or watches or flashlights. On traveling. It’s the most expensive hobby I have. I think who you spend your time with makes the most important memories. Balance of anything is the usually the correct answer for all things.

    In my opinion, must have a dress watch, a tool watch (field or diver - whichever you prefer) and also a beater for action sports, manual work like a g-shock or something. So 3 is enough, if you're talking about a minimum collection. If your on a budget you could buy something like a Hamilton Khaki King for example that could work as a dress and tool watch. And that leaves you with just the beater to buy, which you are ok throwing around. Also, as long as you have interchangeable straps (NATO's, bracelets, leather) you can easily get past with a couple watches.

    Very wise reflections indeed! Nowadays with smartphones and all many people don’t think they need even a single watch at all. So they don’t! Other people think they need (-as in “want”) a huge collection. So they do! Nothing wrong with either of those standpoints. What is a wrong thing is to think that you can tell others what is right based on your personal point of view. Freedom rules - YEAH! I’ve always been a rather materialistic person myself. Not thereby said that I haven’t been doing other things bringing me great movements of joy, like traveling and so on. (Well, even playing with my kids😂). But the joy of things has always been there. In my early youth it was cars, later HIFI equipment - and now watches. Sounds like a kind of superficial person, I know. But these are hobbies that has lasted 10 - 15 years each. Think I’ve ended up in the watch hobby because there’s a more long lasting and even historical perspective to it. In that respect you learn about your more materialisticly based hobbies, I think. There’s a kind of intellectual process to it also in that respect...

    While most wear a watch as a fashion accessory, I wear a watch as a tool that I use everyday. I do have some requirements that must be included. 1. The form factor must be that of a field watch. 2. Must have a black or dark blue dial with white numerals or markers. 3. No complications except for the day of the month. 3. Must be antimagnetic. 4. Lug to luv width must be 22mm or greater. 5. Must be a quartz. 6. Hands must be white and big. 7. Must have bright lume that lasts. 8. Must have the ability to swap out the stock band for a strap or bracelet. 9. Beefy crown. I can glance at my watch and get the time far quicker than someone pulling out their phone and looking at the time. Plus, in certain situations it's rude to look at your phone and with a watch, it's much more acceptable in social interactions. As a rule, I leave my phone at home or in the car when in a social situation.

    You may want to rewatch that episode of TBBT. Sheldon was experiencing shame on his inability to let go of any possessions. Amy was the only person that he let see his storage locker. Relating that to collecting (watches, guitars, lenses, comic books ...), if a person feels a sense of shame about their behavior, they probably need to evaluate what they are doing. I have several collections that most people would question due to their composition (e.g. slide rules, mechanical calculators) or quantity (e.g. watches, Nikon cameras & lenses), but they take up very little space and have a minuscule effect on my financial well-being. If a collection is not causing stress in your life, it is probably OK. It just may be something to deal with for the executor of your estate. In my great uncle’s house, my father found a shoebox labeled “Pieces of string too short to use for anything.”

    I don't see myself as a collector, even though I currently own 16 watches. None of them are actually horological significant. I consider myself as a watch enthusiast, just someone who loves wearing different watches. I'm not really systematically hunting a particular watch, nor am I looking for something that will retain or increase in value. I buy a watch on a whim, if I like how it looks, the price is fair for the specs, and if I can afford it or if there's no other things I'd like to spend my money on. I'm also enthusiastic about food, I'm more systematic choosing a new place to eat on my days off than how I buy a watch, I could've probably saved up for a very nice luxury watch if I saved all my money on eating out for two years, but I'll be less happy. I don't need another watch, in fact, I survived wearing a $30 watch for years, but I do want more. I say put your disposable money to where you're most happy, and enjoy it. :)
