I need HELP!!!

We all started there, so it's normal to feel that way. 

My advice is to be intentional and take it slow. Buy something that speaks to you the most, then wear the crap out of it, and not buy anything else. 

After a few weeks/months you'll discover what you like, and what you dislike. When you buy your next watch, go by those preferences, rather than the "ticking off boxes" approach to collecting. 

What I mean by that is simply, don't buy a flieger/diver/dress watch/field watch/chronograph to have a flieger/diver/dress watch/field watch/chronograph, buy a watch that excels at what you like about your current watch. 

I tried the 1x flieger, 1x diver, 1x chronograph, 1x field watch, etc., it just means I have too many divers I don't love, and a chronograph and field watch I never wear. 

Don’t allow yourself to do so. Enjoy the watches you have and if the goal is a bigger better piece, save for that. That said, if you have the means and you want to make those mistakes go for it, but you will always want more, so why not recognize it now and try and slow down? What you don’t want is a box of depreciated watches that you don’t wear as you are lining for something else.

Agreed with this string.  Wear the crap out of a favorite for a long while. Set a date that you have to hit before buying anything new AND have a goal of a financially somewhat out of reach watch. You will have to pass on many impulse buys to meet the no buying until date and save a lot for that next gem.  In the meantime watch lots of videos and stop by Watch Crunch 

My method is to buy a watch on 0% finance. And not buy the next one until that one is cleared. Not because I can’t pay it up in cash, it just Helps me manage my disposable income. 
If I truly can’t wait to make my next purchase then I have to clear the outstanding finance on the existing one first. But this usually gIves me enough time for the impulse to die down and really consider it. 

I wrote a giant paragraph but I will tell you what mistakes not to make instead. 1. Anything that can buy you 3 to 5 meals is expensive. So don't get caught on the hype that you need to buy something big or many watches. 2. Treat every watch like it cost 100,000 and wear it proudly even if it's 5 bucks that's your sweat and hard work. 3. If you buy something big try to insure it and wear it in safe environment (especially in LA)  4. Enjoy, Enjoy and Enjoy is a hobby and is not to be taken too serious no one outside the watch world will care what watch you have on and maybe get a comment or two.

I'm the wrong guy to give these type of advices..🤣 Good Luck!

Yeah definitely at the start.

But once you start using watches a lot you'll learn what you like and what you don't. And that makes it much easier to dismiss the stuff that isn't a good fit for you. 

Here are a few tips to help you cut down your choices:

1. Stick to brands that make ultra reliable watches. Casio and Citizen are my go-to.
2. Seiko is now overpriced and has serious quality issues on some models. Sold mine and lost interest. 
3. Stick to a budget where you won't mind a few scratches etc. This hobby should be fun. Not stressful. 
4. Once you go titanium, you never go back-tainium. 
5. Solar is nice but overrated.
6. Watches without standard lugs (called "integrated bracelets") often can't be made comfortable with a strap change. So that's a no go for me.
7. Digital timers and alarms are super useful. Which again points me back to Casio and Citizen. 
8. Ultra wide flat backs are super comfy. Again, Casio and Citizen. 

Oh also expanding bracelets are really comfy once you size them slightly loose.

Thank you everyone for your input. I'm trying to not buy anymore and just enjoy what I have for the time being.
