Who here collects watches?

@jmanz asked me early how I am liking my watch. I am loving it, very happy with my purchase. I still have yet to charge it. I might use 1-2% of battery per day (and I play with it a lot since it's new). I have been downloading a lot of new watch faces lately as well. Each one makes it feel like a totally new watch. I highly recommend it.
A coworker of mine ended up buying the same watch as me and loves it as well. He probably gets more use out of it than myself. I don't mess with all the sports modes, but he has. He also uses the sleep function which is pretty cool if you're into that stuff. I just talked to him about it this morning and asked how he is liking it and he loves it.
There's tons of money out there. But the divide between the have's and the havenot's has also never been greater.
@nodle might like this since it involves mother Russia...

Mechanical Movements of the Cold War: How the Soviets Revolutionized Wristwatches
Shortly after the stock market crash of 1929, the Soviet Union purchased a bankrupt watch manufacturer in Ohio. They transformed it into one of the world’s top watchmaking centers.
So we went camping last night and it was the first time that I have worn my watch sleeping. The information it collected was spot on, everything from rem sleep to deep sleep to light sleep and even if you work up in the middle of the night. I have a coworker with the same watch as me and he was telling me about the sleep features and he was right, it is pretty neat.
My wife has been complaining about her iWatch lately, and how she can't even go through a day without it running out of battery. I made sure the other day it was updated to the latest firmware for her, but she is still complaining. I am thinking about picking her up the Amazfit Bip 6, since I have had such great luck with my Trex 2. In fact, I have been looking at the Trex 3 lately.

Well I picked up the watch in the past above, I have always wanted on since they released version one, this is version 3 now, and they have improved the solar tech quite a bit. As far as I know it's the only watch that has smart phone tech, that uses solar. As long as you get enough solar light per day, technically you never have to charge the battery.
I think you picked up a good one. How come you got rid of the T-Rex?
Nothing wrong with it, amazing watch really. But since the Trex 3 came out they aren’t supporting it anymore (no more firmware updates) not that it needs anything but I just like updates. They still are slowly releasing watch faces for it. But I just like the idea of soaking up your own power, I know, I’m weird.
I have been enjoying my watch more and more, I have slept with it on all night for the last two nights and the sleep records it keeps are great.
Also it seems by wearing it I might lose one day of battery one day and the next day I gain it back so I am just holding steady, I am not purposely keeping it in sunlight just daily normal wear.
