That's often what collecting involves.

i guess i have a different take on collecting. i like variety in style. same goes for my vintage audio hobby. it's not all Pioneer, Sony, Nikko, or Sansui, but rather nice examples of each.
Casio G-Shock GW500A-1 (Big Numbers)
Casio G-Shock AWG100-1A (Daily Driver)
Casio G-Shock DW-9000B-1A4VT (Family Time)
Victorinox Swiss Army Maverick II Quartz Chronograph (Important Meetings)
Victorinox Swiss Army Summit XLT Quartz (Beater)
Stuhrling Original Othello Skeleton Automatic (Showpiece)
Elgin Vintage Quartz 2-Tone Day-Date (Nostalgia)
Polar FT40 Heart Rate Monitor (Exercise)
Seiko Black Dress Watch Quartz (Date Night)
I tend to have a similar take to you, but I can understand people collecting different versions of the same model too. Having all the versions of one model can be seen as a 'complete collection', and that's what some people are after. Others might just love one model so much they want variety within that style. I've bought a few G-Shocks I really liked in 2 or 3 different colours just to give me options when wearing them. I can't afford to go too far down that road though...
To some people, having a large but varied collection of watches still begs the question "Why so many watches?" whether they're similar or not. The fun can sometimes be just in the collecting itself, and doesn't need to be particularly logical.

Not much of a collection for me right now so be gentle...I'm just getting started ;)
I used to wear nothing but G-Shocks for the longest time then, two years ago, I needed a change of pace and picked up this PAW1500T
Recently, I've had the itch to spice up the watches a little more and G-shock with all the colors is perfect. So I just got this monster GX56 this last week.
Now the obsession has taken effect and I must have more. Just picked up this blue Mudman.
Up next, I want some more colors and definitely want to find at least one Frogman.
Then find something really vintage.
Ayways...this is my collection for now.
Well here is my first g shock, and i thought id make it a good one. Got a couple of other good ones in the post
