I wanted to reach out to you all about DIY maintenance. I’ve been reading through the classroom content posted since joining the group. I’m curious what aspects of maintaining a watch should I be focusing on learning and when should I be seeking professional service?

As I enter the New Year, a new journey begins. I focused on the Apple Watch, especially as health issues arose, making me feel I had to wear it 24/7. Much has changed over the years. I no longer want to be entirely dependent on that device. I will still use it, but joining the group inspired me to explore further. Timepieces can be excellent connections to people, events, and places. Today, I’m wearing the first meaningful watch I received after graduating from university in 2000. I’m excited to continue this adventure! I hope you all have a great 2026 🎉

Introduce yourself and level-up, it's that simple! You'll get at least 5 likes (oftentimes more!) which will move you to level 2 and on your way to level 3 (these levels give you access to prizes!). What to say in your intro? Share where you're from, your reason for joining, your profession, perhaps your favorite watch or a picture of your entire collection! Whether you're a seasoned watch collector or just starting, have fun engaging with the group.

Teh countdown is on to the Rose Bowl at 3 pm CST. Round two for Alabama and my companion is on my wrist. @Warren Money she’s starting the year off on my wrist.

Wishing everyone a most wonderful New Year and nothing but wonderful things for 2026 and beyond to you and your families!! Make it amazing!! 🙏
