Just for fun - Do you tell your significant other when you buy a new watch?
Just how big is your collection anyway?

Other! I don't have a significant other and do have lots of watches LOL. I like it this way, calm & quiet & only myself to please. Hahaha
We combined our accounts when we got married. Joint accounts mean we always let the other know when we buy something significant (like over $100) so that we can maintain a budget.
Nope, my money, my wrist, my business. Beside this will force me to feint interest in her shoes and handbags fetish and I already learned a painful lesson when I foolishly admitted that I never watched "Titanic".
Nope. I’m a big boy!! I need no permission 🤨… hmmph!!
I tell my wife about every watch I'm interested in, am going to buy, or have already bought, and she doesn't care about any of them.
We have a joint bank account, it would be hard not too.
It is very dependent on price. Less than $500, I don't check first and would tell her if she asks, but I don't discuss it before I purchase it. $500-$1000, I'll tell her before I do it, but I don't really discuss it. $1000+, I discuss it with her first.
I dont have a significant other but watches
Never asking for permission as she knows I won't buy anything jeopardizing our family budget but always tell her in advance, she will notice it anyway so no point in hiding
Before I buy? Usually not. After I buy? Always. I like to show her my new watch.
I'm trying to drop hints for an upcoming anniversary :)
edit: If I were to buy a $1000+ watch, I would discuss it with her first. I always love to hear her laugh.
Very much B. She couldn't give a flying one.
It's your money, no permission needed!
Very interesting how many people are interpreting this question as asking for permission...
Other - she's into watches as much as I am ( almost, she's not desperate enough to post on watch forums to strangers just to feed the addiction 🤣)
I’m with @Inkitatus (also, nice Caligula reference, BTW). Both my wife and I are into watches. We have shared wish lists. We plan our finances together and work together as a team in life for 20+ years. It works really well.
Maybe?, depending on how guilty I’m feeling.
I get a lot of slack financially as long as I can pay for all the household costs! 😅
