Feel like my sub must be a duff as my lume is rarely lit

[alphadweller]

useless for me other than the fact it looks good

[Njkdog]

Same reason actually.
Enjoy your family op!

Im in the pee 2x a night group. Always look at my 116900. Then, check on dog if not sleeping in our room. I use flashlight from phone to charge 90 seconds before I go to bed. Lasts until I get up.

Explorer lume to the rescue.

What’s your reason?

Yes! 1000% yes! When these kids wake, feeding schedules, ect.

If my kids wake me at 2am how else would I know if its time it is

The Chromalite goes better than anything i've matched it up against right through the night when it counts.
Better than the legendary Seiko stuff or the best that Omega has to offer.
Over 12 years old and going strong with no degradation in performance and identical performance to my other watch which is 8 years old

The old Tritium stuff was pathetic toward the end.
It's not uncommon for it to be virtually dead after 3 years

Not my experience. I have a couple cheap Luminox watches that are 7-8 years old and the tritium is still functionally superior that any new luminova. Tritium is the only proven material when reliable night visibility matters, that's why firearms still use tritium for night sights.

My apologies.
I was speaking about the Rolex experience exclusively.

If I recall correctly Luminox uses Tritium tubes and that's a whole different realm altogether.
Have you ever wondered why Tritium luminous paint on vintage watches no longer glows except for very briefly(if lucky) when coming into dark areas after direct sunlight exposure?
I can tell you it's a very slippery slope downhill from new performance through many years of playing in this space.

I always sleep with my Rolex on when in hotels, nice to know the time in unfamiliar surroundings.

[R3Dprius]

I sleep with my watches so that I don’t have to grab a phone to see the time. Never an issue of telling the time with my 5 year old OP.

[BNA/LION]

They glow!

[csaltphoto]

Luminova sucks. Wish Rolex would find a way to incorporate tritium gas tubes or discs or something into it's design language.

I sleep with a watch and am in the habit of looking at my arm in the night. It’s much easier with a Seiko.
