Thanks for that link. I'd never heard of that before. I am extremely tempted to go with the mid tier option. I don't think I can quite afford that upper tier and if I'm going to have a watch collection (which I would like even if I still wear my Zenwatch daily) then I want it to be a bit higher end than the lowest tier.

I just don't have a use for that many watches that honestly, I probably won't like most of the time (some of them looked pretty damn cheap). IMO, save your money for a year and buy yourself and nice $1200 watch.

I think the only way to get me to do anything these days is to get me to sign up for something stupid like this. I've been wanting to buy a nice watch for awhile now and just never get around to it. I'm like that with so many things. I constantly get side tracked by some other idea or desire before I follow through on the last one. The only way I get a watch collection is through a service like this!

You can always sell the ones you don't like too... or re-gift them.

Yep! My family hasn't exchanged gifts for years but if I do sign up for that program won't they be surprised when they all get watches for their birthdays and Christmas out of nowhere.

Interesting link and idea. Like karp said, I just don't have use for a watch a month. I'm loving my current one, and am looking to eventually get a more formal watch. Instead of spending $30/month on a bunch of cheap ones hoping one I like pops up, I could just save a few months and get one for $100-$200 or so. Sure, one can regift, but after a year or so, everyone I would theoretically get a watch for would already have one.

Just caught this guy on sale. Jumped on it. Probably not the most traditional "formal" watch, but I'm not the most formal-looking guy, so it fits. I might wear it a lot casually too. Spoiler due to pic size.

Thanks something like this may be on my Christmas list now
