Agree, although I don't think you TRULY know that you like a watch until a couple months down the road after the honeymoon period has ended.

Same here.
It takes me a while to make up my mind but when I do, it’s a watch for life.

I'm excited over the new watch I get for 1-2 months then I'm bored and want something else, or wonder if I should have got something else.

Kind of had this with my TT Sub. I wanted the watch for years but could not get on with how high it sat on my wrist and ended up trading it in along with my Exp 2 for a DD. I do miss the Exp 2 and have been tempted to try and get another one.

I enjoy watching youtube videos but I take anything I see there with a grain of salt. I am not about to sink thousands of $ into some product, just on the basis of a youtube video. No buyer's regret here.
