End of year reflection. Time to be honest about which watches actually got wrist time.
Most worn: Perun Veles
No surprise here. The pointer date captured my attention in June and never let go. Probably 150+ days on wrist. The €399 purchase that embarrassed everything else in the collection.
Second place: Sinn 556i
The reliable choice. Work days, travel days, days when I couldn’t decide. The Sinn was always there. Roughly 100 days.
Biggest disappointment: The vintage dress watch
Wore it maybe 15 times all year. The 34mm size felt too small after months with the Veles. The movement needs service - gaining 30 seconds daily now. Might be time to sell.
The one I should have worn more: G-Shock
Bought it for outdoor activities. Barely went outdoors. Sitting in the drawer feeling neglected. 2026 resolution: go outside more.
Total watches worn in 2025: 5
I own more than that. The others collected dust. Maybe it’s time to thin the collection.
The lesson from 2025: wear your watches. The best one is the one on your wrist, not the one in a box.
Happy new year.
