What’s your Least Loved watch in your collection?
I am quite sure we all love every one of our watches, it wouldn’t make it into our collection if not, right.
There is always a favourite and there is also one or two that is maybe less of a favourite but still much loved.
Mine is the Seiko 5 Sports ‘Helmet’. I love it but it is the least loved among all my other beloved.

I’m a watch-holic, a watch-addict and recently a watch-cruncher. I'm drawn to watches that have interesting back stories, unique or unusual design language and limited in numbers.

I tend to move my least favourite on either by selling it or swapping it currently my least favourite is this Boldr
It’s a great watch but just too big for me.
Quick question are Seiko fives not supposed to have a day/date complication? I’m only seeing a date. Have I got that wrong or have Seiko changed things?
My Hamilton Khaki Field Automatic has moved into least loved position since I acquired the 38mm Murph. Still a good watch and sees occasional wrist time but also first on the block if/when it's time for a new purchase (though I will be retaining the Forstner bomklip bracelet).

This is an older Seiko 5. Day and day date complications do vary from model to model within the series.
Least worn because it simply is humongous for my small wrist. But loved nonetheless, because it's a birthday gift from my brother.
Probably this one...
or pretty much anything I've purchased from UNDONE...
I love all my watches but -- -depending on my activity of that day - I will have many that I will avoid -- place last in my collection. If I am swimming I will have to exlude all my non-waterproof watches If I am mowing the lawn, I will exclude expensive pieces. If I am going out for dinner, I will exclude sport pieces.. etc etc etc..

Thanks I just hadn’t seen one before.

This one:
It doesn't look too bad until I turn my wrist and the +60mm lug to lug span become evident. Which is quite a feat of engineering since the watch diameter is just 38mm.
It's a quartz chrono made by Cross circa end 90's which I received as a gift, therefore it's going to stay with me forever.

I have this one still on warranty and it is for sale. I almost never wear it and I do not know the reason. Good watch tho, winding mechanism is very smooth.
This Marloe Cherwell. Got bored with it quickly. Thought of selling it but the juice isn’t worth the squeeze if you know what I mean. It sits at the bottom of a box of miscellaneous watch accessories.

It /looks/ pretty fun to be fair

Looks like VC.

Looks like it cribbed some notes from Omega Globemaster. Pity it didn't commit fully to the piepan look.
This Black Citizen SS the least I wear. Dam changed the strap still good works great but hardly wear it. I’m still gonna keep since it’s my only Citizen in my collection.
Bought this when I got my first proper job after uni- my taste has changed. There’s just a few things I don’t like, the black bezel with the blue face, the open heart.
The alipinist version would’ve been the better choice but I suppose I preferred more “sporty” looking watches back then. It’s not a bad watch at all mind you, decen movement, reputable brand and the colour of the dial and the dial pattern is beautiful. It’s just flawed unfortunately
I would keep a watch that marks my first job
This is probably the one I like the least. Timex x Tom Snyder. I got it way below the retail price. Maybe if I get a different band for it. Bezel does not line up with dial too, but thats on me for not paying attention when I got it.
Bummer on that bezel but the watch looks quite nice though.
this timex because I do not like the dark colours with gold indexes. It looked better on the pictures when I bought it on grey market.
Looks quite nice though
It’s a nice watch, just not my
Favourite. It’s barely in my top 3 right now.
It’s becoming difficult to wear anything of value where I live lately
Crime rate on the climb?
Failed to scratch the itch for a captain Willard. Steel dive.
That’s a shame. Nice watch though
"We're checking..." I used to wear this one all the time to support Charles Leclerc. The battery stopped and I replaced it but the case back won't go back into place so it's sitting in a ziplock bag on a shelf. The watch died around the same time Ferrari became a mess. Coincidence? I think not.
Maybe try putting it back together again, the team desperately needs whatever help and miracle.
This fossil is the least favourite in my collection. It keeps time and was fine for at work where none of the clocks were correct. Yes I wear my watch straps backwards.
Whatever watch that I wear currently in my rotation!! 😊
Currently, its Orient Bambino Version 2 - Roman Numerals in a new avatar. 😉
I've already listed it. But here it is for those who didn't see it. Buyer's remorse indeed. I hope to unload this wart on Ebay.

Shouldn't care as it's just an object, but I still think it's a small shame when a still-working watch becomes unused/unloved. However I have to admit that myself and indeed likely most people are guilty at least once and often a few times over the years on that score.
Probably my two Vostoks. I haven’t worn those in almost a year and a half.
I love all of my watches, some for different reasons of course. Can't really point to one that is the least loved, not at all.

I mostly reverse my watch straps also - just seem to fit better and more comfortably that way. My latest purchase, a RW Parsifal 6000 I've 'converted' into a tool watch for work by fitting a reversed magnetic rubber strap. It's a great watch so far and entirely fit for purpose - but also is easily the most replaceable of my four core.
Possibly this BFK,I actually still love the thing but it's sheer thickness is obnoxious.
