Like a lot of people, I got really interested in watches during the pandemic when I had extra time on my hands, and disposable income that I couldn’t spend on other things. Like many, I dove head first into learning as much as I could from Youtube, websites, books, etc.
But now a few years later, does anyone else feel like they’re losing interest in the hobby?
I still love the watches that I bought, but now I’m more likely to spend my disposable income on trips/restaurants/concerts etc.
How do you keep the passion going when the initial love affair is over? And when I’m not actively buying new watches…
I think the hype reached a peak and we’re starting to see a decline. It seems people are not as excited about new releases. Also, luxury goods are the first to go during an economic downturn. I’ve always liked watches and always will, but there’s a lot of economic uncertainty in the air and one would be wise to keep money in the bank rather than plow it into a luxury watch when they have others just sitting at home.
