How do you sort your watches?
Happy Friday! Let's start the weekend with a poll for fun. How do you sort your watches? Let me know if there's a method I didn't mention! (By brand for those with huge collections?)

No real method. I have a box with my main rotation pieces, all others go in various other boxes or rolls, wherever there's room.
I dont.... maybe I should though.
I don't either. I just put them in my watchbox in any order.
My dressier watches sit to the left and gradually become the 'beaters' to the right. With that said, I have a case with only 6 slots. So my top 6 are in the case, followed by 3-4 middle tier that lie around on top of the dresser...followed by a few random watches I leave around the house as I forget to put them back...trust me, the wife loves it
Randomly.

We're supposed to sort our watches now?
Runs around like a headless chicken
The one on my wrist, the one in Box and the one charging by my window?
By gravity flow.
No real method just how I like it best!
More like sexiness factor…
I don't . Just wear them and put them in a draw or on the desk 🤷 Is sorting them even a thing?
1ST TO LAST PURCHASED
For me, category. My collection is based and organized on three themes; air, land, and sea.
I have a 15 watch watchbox. Three rows of five.
-Currently, this is how it is.
Top Row: My pricier watches: Diver watches on the two corners, GMTs next to each of those, Everyday watch in the middle. Current only four in this row, but a spot is reserved for a specific GMT.
Middle Row: Everyday watches both major brands and microbrands with GMT (will purchase in a couple months) in the middle.
Bottom Row: Divers
-Last week, it was like this:
Top row: as is now
Middle Row: Microbrand on the ends, major brand Japanese watch next to them (with the hope of adding a german brand in the middle)
Bottom Row: as is now
That basically created a microbrand cradle for the rest of the collection.
I guess the MSRP comes closest. I have a watch box with 2 levels. One is for the expensive Stuff and the other is for the more affordable stuff. How they are sorted on each level changes up pretty frequently. Sometimes it’s by brand, sometimes it’s by type, whatever floats my boat that day.
I don't know. My robots usually bring them to me.
Seriously. The more expensive pieces in one box(8). The rest in my other box(12).
For someone who tracks when he wore his watches & on what straps, it's a little weird that the order of my watches in my watch boxes is very haphazard.
They all sit nicely on the cushion thingy, but there is almost zero rhyme or reason why the watches are in the slots they are in. The almost is that my main rotation goes in one box and my others in the one under that.
Top row: rectangle, tank, tonneau (all gold)
Middle row: round gold, round stainless (older)
Bottom row: round stainless (less old, but still old)
Other Box: quartz, Soviet, Seiko, vintage that won't fit in box one
Drawer of Shame: runs too fast, runs too slow, doesn't run at all, will never run, needs new crystal, broken lugs
The big ones go in the middle and the smaller ones (including the gf's watch) go to the sides. This arrangement feels balanced and keeps the big watches from colliding.
5 watch boxes -
2 auto winders filled by brand
1 box solar quartz - near a window, of course
1 box other quartz, by function: dual time and ‘other’
1 box - weird gifts rarely worn but kept for sentiment
Yes, too many; yes I keep all the quartz with fresh batteries and in good shape; and yes, I’m a goofball.
No real method. As I take one out I just put the current one I am wearing back in its place.
I don't . Just wear them and put them in a draw or on the desk 🤷 Is sorting them even a thing?
This is my method as well. They sit on my dresser, and I grab whatever one appeals to me after my morning shower.
I just add a new pin on the cork board for every new watch but otherwise its all random.
I sort them by Peanuts watches and non-Peanuts watches. Doesn't everyone?
And there's a lot more!!!
For me it's 3 boxes of 12 slots, main rotation sits in one in my top desk drawer (latest acquisition bumps one down usually) the other two aren't specifically ordered but the hang-tags for each watch are kept under a specific pillow. Technically that's keeping them in an order...box 4 needed soon...
One row of six on straps. One row of six on bracelets. Everything else in another box.
Like most others I've gone for option E.
I sort them by putting them in the box.
The big ones go in the middle and the smaller ones (including the gf's watch) go to the sides. This arrangement feels balanced and keeps the big watches from colliding.
Really like that Seiko quartz! Roman numerals looks great. Whats the reference number??
