I didn't even know what kind of material was used to effect whatever glow they exhibit. Once in while, I'd notice that they were glowing in the dark and I'd think, "oh, isn't that nifty." End of
The Situation:





Conclusion:
  • If you want lume in a watch and it matters, go with tritium.
  • Consumer expectations, not the watch itself, control whether any products is any good at being/doing that which it's supposed to be/do.


All the best.
Can u get a Ti watch new anymore? Id think that if SL is truly used there is no comparison in lume, SL is so much brighter and in my experience does last all nite with normal watch use.
