My three most expensive watches each retail for around 10 times your "$300" (new), and that's considered mid-high end in the world of watch enthusiasts. Of course, street prices are usually considerably lower than retail, and I did buy two of them in mint used condition which helped a lot.

For me personally, I've always really liked watches. I loved my Casio watches when I was a kid, and geeked out over fancy calculator ones and solar-powered watches. When I started working, I spent a year looking around for a nice watch, eventually spending around $200 on one, and wore it every day for three years.



Handbags, shoes. I'd say jewellery, but jewellery isn't necessarily functional in the same way.
Yeah, you're right but as I'm not in the watch business I don't know these things. Also, I'm a starving college student so 300 dollars for anything is a lot.

And I hate to break it to you but most shoes women spend good on money are not functional either. I guess it'd have to be handbags, but I definitely can't justify spending a lot of money on those.


Do all of you wear watches you spend all this money on or are they just collectibles? Do you have a nice one that you wear for special occasions and other ones that you wear all the time or do you always wear the nicest you have?
