For Lent, I gave up watching watch YouTube videos, which was totally consuming all my free time. It such an enjoyable hobby, but I certainly find myself influenced by watch videos and have definitely made purchases because of them. I wouldn’t say that I’ve bought a watch solely because a channel told me I should, but they have certainly helped sway me one way or another if I was already thinking about buying a watch.
I wore the only real watch I had at the time, a Victorinox Military Heritage Chronograph quartz. I’ve had it since about 2009 and wore it in Afghanistan with me, so I guess it fit since I wore my Air Force Mess Dress. But I’m way more into watches now so I wish I would have bought a dress watch for that occasion.
