Collector Description
My collection at 17 years old. I’ve been in the hobby for just under a year now but didn’t start buying my own until a few months ago. I’m liking my own variety so far as I discovered what styles and colors fit with me.
I’d love to discuss or answer any questions about any of them. Nobody around me shares this hobby, it can get lonely🥲

This collection represents a range of reputable brands, with Zenith offering luxury cachet, Yema adding historical significance in dive watches, and Timex and Seiko providing affordable, robust options.
- **History & Innovation (11.1%)**: 8.1/10
Zenith’s horological heritage, Yema’s historical role in diving watches, and Seiko’s contributions to accessible mechanical movements enhance this collection’s standing. The innovation in the Timex Giorgio Galli’s design adds modern flair.
- **Rarity (11.1%)**: 8.4/10
Yema Superman's limited edition status contributes significantly to rarity, complemented by the Zenith Port Royal’s less common quartz status within the brand’s portfolio.
- **Material (11.1%)**: 7.8/10
Standard materials across the collection—stainless steel for robustness and versatility—are well-suited for daily wear, though limited in luxurious materials.
- **Dials & Design (11.1%)**: 8.2/10
The design elements, such as the Timex’s unique case, Seiko’s vibrant dial options, and Yema’s polar-inspired dial, showcase appealing and distinct aesthetics.
- **Movement (11.1%)**: 7.9/10
With automatic, quartz, and GMT movement diversity, the collection is technically well-rounded. The Zenith Port Royal's quartz movement provides a different layer of timekeeping, and Yema’s in-house automatic movement adds value.
- **Complications (11.1%)**: 8.0/10
The Seiko 5 Sports and Yema Superman both provide GMT functions, adding practical travel utility. However, the collection is limited in other complications.
- **Functions (11.1%)**: 8.5/10
The Yema Superman’s 500m water resistance and bezel lock mechanism, along with GMT functionality, raise the functional appeal, suitable for both casual and dive purposes.
- **Versatility (11.1%)**: 8.3/10
Each watch has a clear use case, from casual wear to diving and dress occasions. This collection covers a range of settings, though the Zenith Port Royal may stand out as the most dress-specific option.
- **Cohesiveness (11.1%)**: 7.8/10
This assortment offers a variety of functions, styles, and brands, providing flexibility without a focused theme. However, the mix of styles does allow for a range of versatile wear.
