Do you guys and gals ever...

Just stare at your new watch and think “I really love this watch!”?

Or stare at an older one and think “Damn I’m glad I have this one too!”?

Or wear your new watch when you normally wouldn’t wear a watch? Like when your just watching tv?

Yeah me either...asking for a friend. Thx.

1. Yes
2. All the time.
3. Of course (you ask as if it's not normal).

I changed watches twice after I got home from work last night. Just because.

Affirmative on all three. When I was a kid I was a hot wheels car fanatic, now (much to my wallet's dismay) it's watches.

Definite yes to all 3. I've been staring in awe all day long at my SD43. Also had my Patek 5164A with me all day long and also couldn't stop looking at it either. Needless to say, very little work was done today.

Yup, actually if I'm watching a particularly dull/slow film or TV show I will put on a watch or even two and basically just listen for the good bits, rather than look at my phone.

I was in the shower this morning. My watch was on the side (it's not safe, right).
I caught sight of it sparkling in the halogen lights, and thought, woa! What a beauty!
I never tire of looking at beautiful things.

Thank You for asking this question... now I don’t fell all alone! But, I am nervous that I find myself staring at it while I am driving...

Hi, my name is Robert. And I am addicted to my watches.

And how many times do you look at your watch to actually see the time and not the watch itself? Most of the times I look at mine i’m not interested in what time it is. Crazy...
