Had to look that up:

IMO, two: one everyday watch, one dressy watch. I also don't count $20-$100 watches like a running watch. I always chuckle when people list a Garmin watch or a Timex Ironman on TRF. Isn't that like listing your Matchbox cars on Rennlist?

I currently own 3, but I voted for 5. It seems like a reasonable number.

However, I think I want more than 5....

Same boat, same feeling.

Technically I own 4, but the Tag Heuer is buried in a sock drawer somewhere, so I don't really count that as 1.

I just did a quick count and I have 41 watches.

Is that enough?

I don't know.

N+1, where N is the current number of watch you own

Realistically 1 watch is all you need. I'm somewhere in the 20's.
