What watch did you yearn for, but have never bonded with?
Point of No Return: a critical point at which turning back or reversal is not possible.
When I learned of the new metal square, read all about it, began a voracious lust for it, and then bought it…I thought this new union would be forever. “Truly”, I thought, “this is a match made in heaven!” I was delirious with joy.
After a short honeymoon and a lot of ‘amazing wrist time’, my joy turned to routine, then apathy…but always with the melancholiac yearning to make it work.
A year has passed and the two of us barely speak…let alone share a wrist very often. What happened? I know I will never leave my metal square…and I think it feels the same way. Alas…I guess we’ll just grow old together…always with a tinge of disdain between us.
What is your watch you so yearned for, but have never bonded with? Share your sad story!
Time dictates my linear path to its bitter end. My watches keep me one step ahead of time…and one foot out of the grave.
Go find that G-shock a new home if you don’t have a bond with it and let someone else enjoy it!
Purged 5 watches from my collection (now down to 4) and it’s been liberating. I don’t feel that tinge of regret of not giving a watch enough wrist time or the burden of keeping a number of infrequently worn solar watches charged up.
Maybe not. If I was in the Battlestar Galactica Universe, I might end up being recruited to the Cylon Collective.

I bought it mainly because of my DW5600 I got in 1989. It’s a beautiful watch, so I’ll probably have it as long. Just one of those deals I guess.
I had similar feelings towards my steel g-square. Before you call it off, try putting it on an OEM rubber strap.
Doxa, can't get into it at all.
I also kind of hate the name Casio OceANUS.
When I think Cylon, this is more what I picture...
I had a CWC CW C63 LE GMT that I thought I would absolutely love... turns out I didn't.
So I sold it and bought this, which I love.

Yeah, that’s the Marathon you wore today. I remember thinking how nice it is while viewing your wrist-shot this morning.
That's what I think of too, which is why I can't imagine not loving that watch.

Yearned for it when it launched, loved it from the first time I put it on my wrist and still think it's one of the coolest watches out there. No regrets.
If I yearn for something I'm almost certain that I won't like it in the long run. It needs to grow on me slowly. There is a definite difference between my needs and my wants.
I've largely been able to avoid buying watches I yearn for.
Have you thought about trying a different case color/material off EBay… or do you think it’s over for good?
Seiko MM300, Rolex Submariner, any Seamaster, sapphire sandwich Speedy Pro, CasiOak, …
Maybe you two should try som roleplay to spice things up 👮♂️🧑⚕️? "You're just a cheap budgetwatch! You would like me to share you on the secondary market!?"

Owned a fresh new Pelagos for a solid minute
Owned a fresh new Pelagos for a solid minute. Watched and read reviews, tried it on, stalked the AD window and when I owned it there seemed to be no soul in that watch IMO

Honestly probably the gold one. This square screams tough elegance. I think I’d like it better if it was more like tough flash…like the gold would do.

Cheers! You got my humor.😂

The Smiths Everest PRS-25. I wanted the gilt dial version for a long time and was surprised when I actually managed to buy one from their sucktacular online shop. Now I find myself wearing it only occasionally and not really missing it when I'm wearing something else.

Very similar situation.
I have the full metal G-Shock. Or should I say “had”. My wife noticed I wasn’t wearing it much so she took it. She wears it all the time.
I had a few watches that I was once happy to own and after a few months upgrade building big and better. I got bored and disliking some what I do I pass them on to friends and family.

That‘s a good way of doing it. You know they’re going to a good home and will be taken care of.
For me it’s my DW5610, similar to you actually.
It’s the negative display for me, I find it almost useless. I also have a standard DW5600 with a positive display and much prefer it. I’m thinking about selling the 5610 and getting another one with a positive display.
