Hi all I'm a big lover of watches and I own two watches. One I bought when I was 18 and was lucky enough to be able to offer it

Then last week I seen this and thought I need it and got this

What's your thoughts on watches and also let me see if you are in love with them as much as I am what you have.

Don't really wear watches anymore since my phone performs the same function of telling the time.

I do love the skill and engineering that goes into making great time pieces like patek, tag, omega and rolex

Mary wrote any advice for someone interested in watches but not knowing much?

Start on the low end. Your first watch doesnt need to be 700 (or more) dollars. Companies like Vincero offer great looking affordable watches. I own a couple of them and wear them daily. Buying a watch and wearing it for a while will at least tell you whether you actually appreciate them or want them as an accent to what your wearing - which is completely fine.
If you do actually want to get into it as a hobby, Diesel is a GREAT brand making some insane pieces right now. Swiss and Tissot are definitely in the affordable high end range. They have simplistic pieces that cost a lot but are made of real, authentic materials and will shine in a room compared to most watches. Then obviously theres the pieces for people who have stupid money - Rolex's etc.

I love watches. I think they're a dying statement piece. Always glad to see people still interested.

A watch is to be work as appreciated and make you feel a more positive vibe when you wear one. It's one of those things you either don't want on your wrist at all or you do. A watch doesn't just tell the time it tells a story for you and for your life. My watches I buy because I can not not wear one as I'm used to it and it gives me an energetic feeling and sense of positivity.

The advice stated above is yes a starting point but I think the list for me would be

Tag
Tudor
Breitling
Rolex

In that order to move up the tree

Off course not saying all the rest are rubbish I just ain't had experience in them
