Hello everyone I have been collecting watches for over 25 years now, I have way too many but I honestly love them all no matter what brand they are. I've recently left social media and now find myself...
This account is verified. WatchCrunch has confirmed that this account is the authentic presence for this person or brand.
I'm missing Pilot, Field and Gada, but have no plans to add any either of the first two, and I don't really know what a Gada is.

You can add, Overpriced.
Most people are one watch only. We are strange ones.

This is so true
Missing a “Gshock” category
GADA, automatic, quartz, and funky can also be under categories already listed. A diver is a GADA and can be funky quartz and automatic to many categories that could be narrowed down so it isn't so overwhelming 🤣
Missing a “Gshock” category
That could be under digital I suppose
Aqua Terra GMT Chronograph. It’s waterproof like a diver, legible like a field watch, has the tachy, dressy if you want, sporty if you want, everyday wearable, refined and funky at the same time
BINGO!!
Wish I knew where this mentality came from that we have to have a collection that abides by certain rules, like “no more than one from a brand,” or “check every complication box,” or “have one watch in every category of dressyness.” It’s frankly ridiculous and just drives spending! This is a personal watch collection not a horology museum.
I’ve recently come to peace with the fact that I like what I like and there’s no reason I shouldn’t have a collection that’s all versatile sport watches or emphasizes a brand I like. It’s freeing.

I might join in, I’m graduating college in May, attending the Indy 500, traveling a bit and starting a new job. I think with strap changes my Nodus can handle it all
Stay off social media? What am i gonna do all day? Be productive? Pshhhhh🤪
It’s a real challenge. But its not happening right now.
It’ll happen in May.
This was last year’s challenge

This is interesting... Looking forward to hearing about this, this year. 😁
I'm pretty certain that in the 21st century, all watch types beyond "casual," "dressy," and "durable" are just marketing categories and styling tropes.

Um, hell no!
Without wanting to sounds like a complete d**k, I think I can tick every box you’ve identified. The “vintage” box is missing both from your list and my watchbox - but I’m still not entirely sure if I’ll ever find a vintage that really works for me.
You can if you get this. Curtain closer :)
Chrono and racing are the same in my opinion. Nonetheless, I’m happy to say I have them all. Unfortunately, this means I have a problem

I think I want a "modern vintage" you know those watches with the gilt dials.
This is essentially the same idea:
No dress watch as I almost never dressed
I mean you can collapse almost all of these into just 3 watches
I looked in my watch box, here's what I have:
Pilot
Moonphase (with GMT)
GMT
GMT
GMT
Worldtimer
Pilot
Diver
I don't understand why people have all these other categories 😂
Zero interest in getting a watch from every category, the "box ticking" style of collecting has never appealed to me .
Could easily do just one watch, find it hard not to wear any of my favourites for days on end, but make a conscious effort to maintain a level of variety!
To each their own 😉👍🏻
