I never use to wear watches until my girlfriend (at the time) brought me a watch for x-mas this past December, ever since then I've been wearing a watch on my wrist. A week ago I brought a Nixon watch for $300, now since my tax return came in and I have money to spend because I took care of my bills already, I want another Nixon watch I've been looking at but it's about $400 I can afford it right now but I already have two watches... do I really need or want another one?
The answer is no. However, that doesn't mean anything. If you want it and can afford it, why not. I haven't had a watch in about 7 years. So, I can't really relate, but have fun telling time.

$400 bucks for a watch? Wouldn't a rainy day fund be a little bit more valuable to you and your girlfriend be a bit wiser than having a thousand dollars in watches?
Rainy day funds are boring and responsible, but in two months you may be posting about needing $350 worth of repairs to your car. But in the end it's your money, do what you will with it.

I live in NY a few miles from NYC, I don't have a car nor do I need one at the moment

I've only ever owned one watch in my life, but I like it. It's a black stainless steel Nixon Rover. Nowadays with cell phones there's really no reason to wear a watch, so I justify it by the fact that it can double as a set of brass knuckles in a pinch. I can't really think of any way to justify two watches, so you'll just have to break your current one on somebody's face. And don't forget to write off the loss on next year's taxes.

Aren't you the same dude that bitches about not having money for a nice apartment or a car?
Good thing you didn't start this thread in SIlliness. You would really get reamed.
Well I have a freelance job while paying for my college, I came to the realization that I wont get a car and/or a apt until I'm done with college, so in the mean time when ever I have money to spoil myself with then I will
You know the time is going to be the same on the new watch as the other one, right? You've posted a few times in the past indicating that you weren't exactly affluent, so you should probably save it for something more important. Splurging every now and then is nice, but considering you just did that, it might not be the wisest thing to do so soon. But it's your money, guy.
