(watch-fast) syn./adj./verb
The act of masochistically limiting one's watch worn for a lengthy period of time in order to better appreciate its unique qualities in lieu of rotating through a large collection of alternatives. This concept was first introduced to social media in 2017 through the Two Broke Watch Snobs podcast, where its hosts challenged listeners to forcibly become conscious of their preferences for an entire month. The term has since been appropriated by the greater "watchfam" community through Instagram hashtags and similar narratives.
