MONOGATARI SERIES ORDER?

Is the Monogatari series actually worth watching, and what is the proper watch order?

I've been thinking about starting the series because I keep hearing great things about the visuals and the storytelling, but the massive number of seasons is pretty intimidating. For those who have seen it: Is it worth the time investment? Also, how should I actually watch it? I've seen conflicting guides online about chronological vs. release order??
And i also heard its dialogue heavy like (90-95%) of the actual show!
