At one time or another I've obsessed over them all but these days it's really just TRF.

kilyung · 8 January 2017, 08:40 AM

No longer obsessed... more like a constant buzz. I've got other hobbies that would qualify as obsessive.

I've been guilty of all of the above, but not so much anymore.

I guess generally I'm just obsessed with watches.

I shop for them on Amazon. I check them out on other people's wrists. I stop movies to see what the characters are wearing, and a host of other things.

As for my own watches, I do admire them, but I'm not given to the staring that used to take up a bit of my time during the day.

Once I began to wear mechanicals again, I haven't been nearly as obsessed with accuracy as I used to be, but I do like to keep my watches within about 30 seconds of the correct time, which I don't think is obsessive.

All in all I've really enjoyed my little foray into the world of watches and for just an ordinary guy, I've gathered some nice pieces that should last the rest of my days and more.

TimeRookie · 8 January 2017, 10:28 AM

All apply to me except the faded bezel one. None of my watches have bezels that fade

I'm pretty chilled at the mo about my watches.

This place however is taking more and more of my time

superdog · 9 January 2017, 10:59 PM

I think I am losing my obsession.

I have none of those going on.

I do seem obsessed with my Fitbit though lately. I check my sleep, steps, food intake and calories burned all day long.
