None of My Friends or Family Cares About Watches 😭 😢

I’ve never tried to talk to my friends about my watches. I assume they don’t give a hoot.

Wife: “They all look the same.”

Me: “And I guess your Apple Watch is COMPLETELY different than everyone else’s, huh…”

I also hate your watches and will snooze when you talk about them😜

Count your blessings. None of us are all that interesting in person. You would feel the pain of your friends and family in an instant.

I use to think a lot of people love watches, but after learning nobody I know cares for them, which is a lot of people, it made me appreciate the online watch community even more.

Get a grip man No one cares !

..Lol just kiddin, couldn't resist 🤣

Let it all out brother!!

I hear you !!

🤣 my wifey always says that: they all look the same. Lmao 🤣

You're not alone, you have us.

Isn't that why WC was created? 😉

Let's be honest, they all probably have things they're interested in that most of us wouldn't care about either. My wife also thinks that a lot of my watches look the same and that can work to my advantage

Wife finds my watch talk boring and has had her rager moments where she says besides hearing about watches its like talking to a wall. Can't help it that I love mechanical works of art.

Pretty much the same. At a work event out of state I met someone last year I still talk to about watches daily but that’s about it. He’s many states away.

Yea no one cares but WC 😂

LOL my sentiment exactley! I don’t have any watch enthusiast friends and after joining watchcrunch I’m sort of glad about that. I mean people don’t even get along online, the easiest place on the planet to be nice, so I know I wouldn’t want to “hang out” with someone like that 🌈 just my opinion

Count your blessings. My husband wasn’t interested in my watches either, then I gave him a Hamilton Ventura for Christmas and everything changed. Now he spends more on watches than I do 😏

Of course on the upside this gives me a virtually blank check 😂😂

You gotta embrace the reality that our watch addiction makes us a bunch of weirdos.

I so hear you.

So true! But good weirdos! LOL!!

That’s why we’re here.

I was watching a review of the Mühle Glashutte SAR yesterday. When they mentioned the woodpecker regulator, my wife said “Oh, everyone else uses swan neck regulators”.

I am in a safe space.

Your not alone here brother!

I’m lucky. My wife and friends see how excited I get about them and will humor me / ask me about what I’m wearing. My father and fathers-father before him where and are big “every man should have a good watch” types so again, I’ve gotten very lucky.

My wife collects. She certainly isn’t into it as much as I am. I have had two friends start collecting over the last 3 years as well.

Im happy "watching" my "watches" ticking, alone by myself ( most of the time ) ... my fren or wife or anyone can join.. sometimes someone will jump in and start talking about watches .. tht person nobody knows .. and thts how I found this "channel" .. thts part of the adventure and I love it ....

I always remember the Talking Watches John Mayer 2 when he talked about “listening to that little whisper inside you of enthusiasm.” Collecting is just as much a hobby as anything else, so just help them understand that (you don’t need to be an evangelist).

Find the the weak link and gift them a nice watch. Sit back and enjoy watching the watch collecting bug infest their soul.

Thats sad. But I guess we can just enjoy our passion and hobbies just by ourselves maybe? Well I have a big ring collection and a watch collection, none of my friends knows much about rings and watches and the conversation gets awkward if we try talking about them. I guess that's why we have apps like watch crunch, just to meet other watch lovers and talk about watches.

Typically I’m in the same boat. But after sharing your post with my wife she randomly showed me an IWC pilot watch she said she liked… so winning?! 🤞

Rule is show dont tell, aka never initiate. If they ask, show off what you have and know , but otherwise keep ya gob shut ya weirdo 😅

Yep, I'm the only watch person in my family. My dad has 2 watches, but they were both gifts from the family. My sister will notice my watch on occasion, but only because she likes accessories and very much like a sister, she had a magpie-like desire to take my things.
