Mike,

As a Lume lover, I can say that I definitely wish my Tritium Dialed Watches had Superluminova on them.

Remember that Lume is designed to supply light for hours and hours after there is NO light available.

Do a test for me.

Tonight, when you go to bed, charge the watch next to a lamp or some light source, set it down. Go to sleep in a DARK room (This won't work if you have a bunch of light pollution) when you wake up, can you see the watch? Read the time?

I've found that all of my GOOD watches, and even my cheaper Seiko Divers have the ability to be read 10 hours after they last saw the light. Are they Torches at that time? No. They are legible and usable.

The thing about Superluminova is that it will have the same effect for decades, where as Tritium dies and will never be active again.
