How things have changed

Post by Niks »

I can't believe how things have changed so quick. Only a few years ago just before Covid I could go to town centre early in the morning and stay till evening time to see many ladies walking around wearing many different designs of Swatch. I used to walk all around town recording as many as I could on the trains, buses, shops and on the streets all day on my days off from work. I would come home with around 30-40 vids easily per day! Once I went 7 days in a row and got shitloads of material, even had to buy a powerbank in a shop to keep my phone charged up and sometimes I ran out of memory space.

Today, I thought I would go into town again to get new material, properly excited! I came home with 0 vids. I saw 1 swatch but it was a small dainty silver one which didnt take my fancy anyway. All I saw all day long was Apple watches, fitbits and Fitness watches. Ended up being a waste of a day and was so gutted.

The same goes for camsites before Covid, I would come across a good number Latina and European girls wearing Swatch. Now, literally nothing.

I dont know what to make of it anymore, looks like its all over for Swatch.

Ok, no offense, but this forum is getting stranger and stranger. You walk around and record as many as you can wearing a Swatch? I’m sorry, but that sounds kind of odd. Maybe I’m just judgemental, and it’s no stranger than taking pictures of birds... It just feels kind of strange to me.

I haven’t checked out most of this forum, as I mostly just used the XXX-subforum and this one. I know people post pictures of women with watches here, but I figured it was mostly models, celebrities or somebody they met and asked if they could take their picture. I didn’t really consider that maybe some of you were sneaking around and taking pictures. That does sound a bit odd to me.

Maybe it’s a cultural thing. Most guys I know don’t have a fetish, but they might have a thing for tits or ass. Actually, I would say one of my friend has a fetish for big tits, as he can’t really get hard if the woman has smaller boobs... However, he doesn’t walk around town taking photographs of women with big tits. And if he did, I would think it was kind of a strange thing to do. Nobody I know does that, which is why I find it odd I guess... That’s just me though. Maybe it’s more common to take sneak pictures of hot chicks where you are from. =) It’s not illegal to take photographs of people in public spaces, so if you enjoy it, by all means. You are not hurting anyone.

That said, sorry to hear it’s harder for you to find good motives for your pictures. I have also noticed that smart watches are a lot more common these days. However, I feel like maybe it’s that more women who wouldn‘t normally wear a watch, now wears a smart watch, as it’s practical. I don’t think women who used to appreciate the fashionable side or have some other interest in analog watches, switched theirs for a smart watch. I don’t think I have noticed a decrease in how many women wears an analog watch. Then again, I’ve never kept count.

I gotta say, I like that I am seeing more fitness watches, I wear one myself too. As far as taking pictures, it's a bit strange to me tbh.

I think that's a very childish way to respond. I gave you my reasons why I find it odd. You have not shared your thoughts on why it's not. Resorting to name calling when people disagree with you doesn't really benefit your case.

Ok well this is what I have to say to you...

1) You joined up to a 'wrist watch fetish' forum, a fetish which is completely 'odd' in its own right - hell it even makes other fetishes like feet, bdsm, leather and so on seem completely normal as they are a lot more commonly understood and accepted by the fetish masses and community. Try telling someone from the global fetish community you have a watch fetish in a sexual way, see how 'odd' YOU will look - believe me I have myself and have got 'puzzled' responses back. I don't know how far your 'watch fetish' goes, but if it is limited to just seeing a girl wear a nice watch and anything more than that is 'odd' to you - your in the wrong place.

2) How do you think porn material (fetish or non fetish) is created, does it just magically appear out of thin air or do people actually use a camera or a video recording device to create it? Have you ever seen or heard how big the 'voyeur' fetish community is? Well, I can tell you many many many people go out with their smart phones to record such things in public for their own upskirt, camel toe, booty, high heels and all those type of fetishes. Again, how do you think its created? By the taking photos and videos. So if you find that 'odd' - your completely in the wrong place.

3) This forum was created by a wonderful guy to bring people together who have watch fetishes, for people who want to know if others have this 'odd' fetish too as they have, to understand it better in terms of how it started for you, when did you first know, what kind of watch excites you, fantasies, sharing pictures and videos of created content or content found online. Its all about sharing ideas and communicating. When someone like you comes along and starts stating that taking a picture is 'odd' and you don't know anyone else who does it? - then what are you even doing here in this forum?

4) So to wrap up, if you ever pleasure yourself by watching porn, looking at porn pictures, exploring the XXX section in this forum and viewing all the wonderful content that others on this forum have dedicated so much of their time to find and post (including myself right from the start of this forum) - ALL of those contents have been created by someone taking photos and taking videos - either for commerical use or private use - if you find it 'odd' - again, what are you even doing here?

That's not entirely comparable, watching a video of consenting people or finding a picture someone posted of themselves it's no the same as a picture someone didn't mean for other people to see. Honestly the argument of that it's all the same because you have to use a camara to record it is very flimsy. Many people go around taking pictures of strangers to pleasure themselves? Yeah sure, that doesn't make it any less questionable. If you saw a man taking pictures of a girl in a short skirt or trying to get a snap of their underwear that'd be undoubtedly creepy. Since taking pics in the name our shared fetish is not as invasive it's maybe a grayer area, but I'm sure you can see where it's coming from.

Coming back to the thread at hand, it is a shame that seemingly less and less people are wearing non-smart watches. Even with custom content creators is increasingly harder to find ones that actually have a watch to wear on request. Dark times these are

I mean if you see how much content is distributed throughout the entire internet regardless if it is consented or not consented, the fact is its everywhere and happening all over the place on such a large scale, so who are we on such a minor scale to judge it? For example, I could go through all the picture/video threads on this entire forum alone and how much of that content will consist of non consented material? More than 50%. Yet people are more than happy to 'do what they do' for their own pleasure viewing it. What about all those porn videos of women wearing watches in them, I am absolutely sure the creator of those porn movies/dvds did not give any consent of any type (infact you would be sued and prosecuted) at all of their videos to end up on xhamster, xvideo and so on, then for someone to copy those videos and share them to even more porn viewing platforms, and then for someone to troll through all those videos to find 'a watch of interest' and copy those links and put them in a thread in this forum for us to pleasure over - but yet you would be more than happy to watch it and 'do what you do' over it without thinking twice. However, when a thread like this pops up, you would be more than happy to give your 2 cents worth? - Thats hipcrocity.

I get what you mean regarding finding it creepy taking pictures of upkisrts and so on, but the difference here is - its a watch. I wouldn't see it as any different to a lady posting a picture of her watch on a 'public social media' platform like Instagram for the whole planet to see, to taking a picture of a watch that someone is wearing - its public, its not imposing or doing any sexual harm to that person whatsoever - is there a law to forbid it? No. For example, if I were to take a picture of my friends somewhere and just by coincidence there is a lady in the background that somehow got into the picture frame wearing a watch I like, what is the difference? Are you or me going to think 'oh that lady is wearing my fav watch, it looks so hot on her but NO I MUST NOT pleasure myself over it because she didnt give her consent'? Tell me.

If we all followed that mentality of 'only sharing or viewing consented material' with signed model release's - seeing how niche our fetish already is, this forum would not exist, nor would more than half of the content on this forum for your pleasure to view and do as you please to it. You would have to pay to see all material - are you the type to pay for material? You tell me, so would this forum even be beneficial to you if that was the case? Tell me.

So listen, dont ruin it for everyone having that type of mentality. Its taken years and years for this forum to get where it is for all our pleasure.

And yes, its very sad to see (for me anyway only because I only like Swatches) that ladies have switched over to smart watches - following each other like lemmings and losing personality.

To each their own. I have had this fetish all my life, but I have never felt the need to take pictures of anyone. I have told a great many people about my fetish, and yes, they do think it’s a bit strange, but I’ve never had any bad experiences with telling people about it. If I told them I also took pictures of women wearing watches and masturbated to them at home, I suppose that would indeed be frowned upon.

You seem to know this place better then me, so if it’s status quo among watch-fetishists to take pictures of women in public places and masturbate to them at home, then I’m sorry if I spoke out of turn. Good luck on your future photo shoots :)

Yes I am, actually. With how niche this fetish is, the best way to get what I want is to pay for it, no way around it. I made a thread a while ago on the XXX section sharing some creators that are cool making custom watch content and asking if anybody had recommendations of other creators. And yes, of course the forum is beneficial even if I get custom content elsewhere, why wouldn't it be? The content posted here is obviously relevant to my fetish, and there's some decent discussion too. But that's beside the point.

First I'd like to apologize, it seems my message came off as judgemental which was not the intention. I was just trying to point out that there's a little bit more nuance in why someone may find the picture taking 'odd' which isn't related to our fetish being 'odd'. I thought it was a distinction worth discussing but I expressed myself too harshly, didn't mean for you to feel attacked or judged. Of course I don't intend to ruin this forum or whatever you mean.

Well you are a brave person to be upfront and tell people about your fetish, so respect to you for that as not many have that courage. Yes I agree, of course you don't want to tell someone you take pictures and masturbate to them, that wouldn't go down well with any person - even I wouldnt ever do that. I guess geographically it can make a difference on how people perceive or interpret things depending where you live. For me, I have had a little more bad experiences than good, so I just tend to keep my mouth closed about it.

I create my own content, hence for me to go taking pictures/videos for the content I create is a must as its not something you would find anywhere else. Whether I go into public to do some 'watch voyeur' stuff or hire a model/s for what I want to make - its all part of creating content.

All I am saying is, people are at all different levels in this fetish - some are still trying to open up about it and some are hardcore into it, for some people it has taken serious amount of guts and courage to come here to express themselves and others are straight up open about it. So to say things like 'I find it odd and strange you do this and that' - its wrong. There are certain types of watches which I dislike, but I wouldn't go to those threads on here and be like 'its so strange, how can you even get off to those type of watches'. I just respect its whats someone likes so, who am I to rain on their parade.

Totally agree with you regarding paying for what you want to see. Its the same for me, as mentioned above I make my own content too. I have tried to sell some stuff here when I started out but at that time people were more into seeing 'free' stuff than paying for something, granted a few people bought it. Creating content is not easy, so to go into town spending all day taking videos and pictures, who pays for my travel fare and food whilst I am out all day? Me. Who pays for the models, hotels, food, drinks and travel expenses when I make videos? Me. Somehow, I need to make that money back and make a little more on top so I can create more stuff and get more creative with it. If I started posting all of that stuff here for free, I would be broke. Lucky I have some people who are willing to pay for such custom content - I do it as a hobby, its fun and enjoyable on the side of my main job.

The good news is that with some other fetishes, watch stuff has started to cross over into them a little as more 'other fetish' groups are finding it interesting. Its moving slowly but its a working progress.

Unfortunately, the lack of ladies now wearing Swatch will eventually put a stop to doing the voyeur stuff - I guess that will satisfy the ones who find taking pictures in public 'odd'. However, how do you know if other watch lovers of all different kinds are out there doing the same thing? Who knows :P

You compare me criticising your actions to criticising others taste in watches? That’s not the same at all – and nobody on this forum is doing that, because we all know that’s insensitive and rude. Sure, maybe I was being a bit insensitive when I called your hobby odd, but then again, it’s hard for me to not be harsh when I believe what you are doing is kind of wrong. You call out hypocrisy, as I also have watched or shared videos from xhamster or others sites, but I don’t think that’s a fair comparison. I have read your stories in the thread about stories, where you sneak touch, kiss, lick or even rub your dick on a girls watch, without consent and without them knowing, and you write about it as if you did nothing wrong. I think we have some very different opinions on what is right and wrong, so I don’t know if I even could explain to you how posting an xhamster link on this forum is completely different from taking and sharing photographs of complete strangers without consent. I’m sorry, but you have crossed a line you shouldn’t cross. Fetish or no.

However, I’m glad you took your time to explain your view. I feel like I understand you better now. And who knows, maybe you are right and it’s me who’s being the insensitive one here – but as of now, I’m not really convinced.
