Watches. I really like watches. I recently picked up a Longines Legend Diver for example, and can't get enough of it. Hasn't left my wrist in at least a month now. I have other watches of varying quality. Everything from a Casio G-shock for yard work, to Omegas... Nothing too pricey yet though, I'm married and have a baby... Most people don't "get" my hobby. They just see the pricetags and think it's shallow, but it's not. Fine automatic watches are some of the most complicated non-electrical feats of human engineering. Their movements are beautiful, and there's a refinement to a good watch. Plus, it's a callback to a long gone era before people just used their fucking cellphones to check the time.
