MY other issue is the luminova seems to shine brightly as soon as it is exposed to the sun, however, within an hour it is way gone (zero glow)..common issue or my bad luck of the draw in watch received from AD?

Thanks very much

Hi

Are you fully winding the watch i.e. at least 40 full turns of the crown? (don't worry, you cannot over-wind it)

The lume requires fully charging e.g. from a flashlight before it will last for any length of time.
