How many watches do you own? 👇 My favorite watches on Amazon: www.amazon.com/shop/chronometercheck?ref=ac_inf_tb_vh Discord: discord.gg/R2wQgRkBrR

[@ShreksScrumptiousSucculentToes]

I own 2 broken watches 😎

[@thijswillemse3677]

I own 25 watches

[@riflemusket]

I own six currently. I’m eying more, but my wife doesn’t know yet. 😝

[@foxthx1138]

I think you were right with n+1. Just picked up a 1969 Bulova Accutron.

[@ChronometerCheck]

Nice pickup!

[@RandomAlaskanKid]

I own 10 watches, but only 7 work and I only wear like 3 lol

[@ChronometerCheck]

3 is more than enough for a solid rotation, friend

[@yosh_00]

I’ve got 3 but I think I’ll go for 7 nice ones and stop there

[@RandomAlaskanKid]

@@ChronometerCheck I usually go on spurts of wearing one for a few weeks to a month then rotate lol, I don’t wear my Seiko SNXS73 too much during the winter because it’s really cold where I live, and it makes it run fast.

[@purelyfixedyyc4039]

You just described my entire bicycle collection 😂

[@sahilthebighill236]

Tbh you could own just one watch that does everything. Like an entry level grand seiko. Affordable, reliable and versatile.

[@mattduin7144]

I'd still own a beater watch if my only watch was a grand seiko

[@ChronometerCheck]

Definitely

[@thepapergoomba9390]

I have a very odd ball collection currently. My watches include 1. Tissot PRX Chronograph: After I got the PRX (Quartz Model) I really wanted the chronograph because I really liked it. I have 6.5 inch wrists and this watch is definitely pushing it, but I still think it looks good. I definitely can’t go any bigger than this though. 2. Tissot PRX Quartz: This is a great everyday watch. 3. Gucci Grip: You don’t even need to say anything, I know I’m already being judged. I got this watch on preowned for a pretty good price. The only wear on the watch was a small scratch on the face, and a another scratch on the back case. Only real complaint is that the bracelet is really weird. It uses a butterfly clasp without a clasp release. I don’t know how to explain it, but when I first got it, the clasp was really tight and it was hard to get off. 4. Vaer D5: I got this watch preowned and it’s my only diver, and it’s a really awesome watch. 5. Timex Expedition Scout: I got this on Amazon for 44 dollars. It’s a great field style watch, and is my go to beater watch. 6. Casio A100WEPC-1B (Pac-Man): I’m a huge fan of Pac-Man so I had to pick this watch up. My only complaint is that the display is hard to stay in dark lighting, and the display light is really not that good. 7. Fossil X Pokémon Gengar: I am fully aware that fossil isn’t the best brand. However Gengar is my favorite Pokémon so I had to pick this watch up. It looks really unique and used a decent automatic movement (I have not been able to find the specifications for the exact movement). It also came with 3 straps which was pretty cool. 8. Timex Legacy Date 41mm: Finally the most recent edition to my collection is this watch. I actually got it because I watched your video on it. It was on sale a couple weeks ago for 30% off which brought the price down to a more reasonable place. I wanted this watch as a more professional looking beater watch. I really like this watch so far, and it looks really good. Anyways my biggest problem witch watches right now is that I’m too scared to wear my nice watches. However I’ve slowly been getting over this. I just get so freaked out that I’m going to damage my nicer watches when I wear them.

[@suheilkaspar8885]

I'll go with the equation

[@diegoandion4561]

I think 6 is the right amount because they are enough to have diversity but not too many do that you leave some without any wrist time

[@raptxr8254]

I’m 16 and I have 7 watches I got 2 g shocks (my daily’s) Apple Watch SE ( idk if it’s classed as a watch but yea, my school watch) Citizen yachtmaster (my fancier school watch) Casio edifice (another school watch) Tissot visodate automatic( dress watch) Dreyfus and co 1986 collection(dress watch) A rotary which looks like a cartier santos

[@squinkygordon1322]

I have a watch winder that has four rotating positions and a row of pillows on the bottom that are stationary. I have six watches... 5 automatic and one G-shock. The G-shock obviously stays on a stationary pillow. That leaves 4 automatics on the winder with one on my wrist at all times. I almost never wear the G-shock and mainly use it to set the time on the automatic watches. Don't get me wrong, I like it and appreciate that it is an engineering marvel, with a very real history but I seem to always grab something else to wear. As an aside, (I fibbed a little bit)... I do also have a 1970 Bulova Accutron Spaceview (cushion case) that belonged to my dad, but currently isn't running and is kept in a drawer, so I didn't count that one. 😉

[@rushil10200]

I think 3 will be the magic number for me. I have one Skagen which I know isn’t an enthusiast choice but I saw it on Amazon and loved how it looked so I got it. I wear it every day and it’s my beater. The second watch I will be getting is the Orient Panda Chronograph and then my final one will be an Omega 🙏.

[@uckBayNguyen]

I wear my watches everyday. I just wish there are more occasions in a day to swap for another

[@patricj951]

Technically the wristwatch is today more or less superfluous. But it still offers the advantage of having the time reading available on the wrist without the need of picking up the smartphone from the pocket. And in some cases it's not possible or suitable to pick up the phone. Yes, a nice wristwatch is a luxuary item contributing to a more professionell look. AND: instead of thinking that wristwatch is superfluous because of the smartphone you can reason this way: you actually have the advantage to always adjust your time on the watch with the smartphone. Summary: wristwatch still offers the use and advantage as it always have had.

[@Bruce-vq7ni]

Iam trying 'again' to stick to the one watch a year rule..

[@bidayroihan8684]

I own gshock GW300 almost 20 years ago. And still going strong.

[@joenobody571]

I have 3. 2 I don't wear because they are cheap and or obnoxious 😂 and I'm waiting for #4 in the mail currently but the more I look at the casioak the more I like it I think that's going to be a definite go on payday

[@ChronometerCheck]

Haha, take your time, bro! Watch collecting is a life long journey. Enjoy each watch

[@Andrew_10]

n+1 is totally valid. yesterday I bought a Seiko prospex monster (srpd29)

[@Toms_Aviation]

Just got a nice ‘new’ watch today and unused seiko 7t32 6a50 - steel- from 1990’s what do you think

[@EddieLMO]

I think it doesnt matter what we think.

[@ChronometerCheck]

True!

[@ChronometerCheck]

I think it's awesome. But like Eddie said, it doesn't matter what I/we think. All that matters is you enjoy it

[@joowonlee7114]

Thank you for the great content 👍

[@ChronometerCheck]

THANK YOU JOOWONLEE

[@jerrybehr420]

3 .... one for work one for the ocean one for special occasions

[@Mo-landro]

Get a new watch by getting a new bracelet/strap - a versatile and cheap way to get the most out of your timepiece!

[@lynnwood1911]

Hey thats the same equation for how many bikes, chickens and indoor plants is enough.

[@varisht4]

What’s the orient star watch?

[@dimasakbar7668]

I had about 5, most were memento of deceased person in my family. It aint the best watch but i love it and will not sell.

[@ChronometerCheck]

Yup, those watches are literally priceless. Cherish them forever

[@Chou005]

If you collects automatic watches you should also have watch winders...unless you are an octopus to wear many watches.

[@ChronometerCheck]

I usually just wind and set them when I wear them

[@onolicious9147]

The real true, correct and proven universal number of watches for all men everywhere in all climes and conditions is: One more.

[@Everydaykaen]

I have 3 Seiko sarb033 Seiko mini turtle Seiko Srpk29k1

[@ChronometerCheck]

Then you're set x3

[@ChronometerCheck]

Thanks, really appreciate that! One video at a time :)

[@slickg63]

Hey my guy I'm scared to wear my alpinist how has yours been scratch wise? Like the shorts

[@ChronometerCheck]

It's mostly the bezel that shows some scratches but the crystal is sapphire, not a dent

[@MrBacchus18]

N+ 1 sounds right to me 😂 one in the mail right now

[@ChronometerCheck]

And then another. And then another. And then... Well :)

[@caffeineisking8132]

I wear a g shock for all occasions and keep rolex money in the bank to hell spending that much on a watch

[@thebox5155]

Hey, what is the model no./ name of the seiko you suggested as a daily wear...I love that watch

[@ChronometerCheck]

SPB197

[@pedroribeiro5996]

The best number are: 1:Rugged 2:Oak 3:Nautilus 4:GMT 5:Tank 😅 And now you have the best iconic watches 😂

[@TheLegendaryLP]

My Casio was over a grand…

[@charlesharrer4297]

Just one more is not a concept we understand. One is never enough. OH......look another new one, let my have a look at that.😆😆😆

[@ChronometerCheck]

@@charlesharrer4297 this will be the last one I need... I swear 🤣

[@thatwhitecat]

For me, just 4. GADA Diver Beater Dress Now that being said, I have 21. Sue me.

[@codymoskaliki6276]

[@oraclecook]

God damn, you have the pepsi seiko with jubilee bracelet

[@ChronometerCheck]

One of my first automatic watches ever, I absolutely love it

[@gac1579]

True you make good points

[@ChronometerCheck]

Thanks bud

[@smahmudulhasan7630]

is Hamilton khaki good for everyday use?

[@ChronometerCheck]

It's excellent for that

[@jimipaddy]

What is the name of the Hamilton watch? , I love the look of that

[@ZeroSuitSamo]

I hate the "you have a phone that tells time so you don't need a watch" sentiment. Uf that logic was true then wrist watches would have never cought on since you already have a pocket watch in your pocket that tells time. Why do you need one on your wrist?

[@ninjasrose1653]

I started collecting in Jan. I have 5 right now. But the next 2. Are going to be quite expensive. So I’m saving up! I think 7. Is a good number. After that it’s one in one out so there’s not watches just sitting in a box. So wasteful imo.

[@clivenaylor]

I'm at 118 so I would say not enough

[@pdmiller2008]

*smiles in N+1 😁

[@ChronometerCheck]

Always hahah

[@Thetacticalcollection]

When your prized watch of 20 yrs is destroyed beyond repair so you buy 4 to compensate for the 1 🤣🤣🤣🤣
