This is true, but ...

... the value of these questions is that it allows owners to describe what they like and don't like about the watches in question. Sometimes they point out aspects you hadn't considered. They allow you see something new through their eyes.

And even better if we know the reviewers / writers / PuristS tastes, likes and dislikes. I used to follow the main HiFi journalists and over time, through careful listening and comparisons, built up an understanding of what they liked and why. Similarly there are a few PuristS who's impressions of watches and opinion usually meshes with mine. I won't say who they are, but when they write enthusiastically about a watch I usually sit up and take notice.

Of course you are correct that we should never buy a watch based on what others like (and we don't). Gut feelings are usually right in this respect.

And most importantly we should avoid the excitement and hype about new watches on the market.
