Never bought ( invested in) one as it's a bit too big for my wrist, I'd be worried about loosing, damaging it of having it stolen and ultimately just don't want to spend that much £££ on a watch.

| Slow progress Member Since: 30 Jun 2020 Location: Derbyshire Posts: 453    | I’ve been looking at luminox for a while, but also the g-shock watches as a weekend beater. Will check them out. | ||

| IGP Member Since: 09 Jul 2020 Location: Malvern Posts: 301      | This is mine. Always wanted a watch that I could read the time from when it's dark. Also prefer a stainless steel strap rather than the fabric ones. This is my second Traser. The original I have had for over 20 years. But, with a half life of 10 years it's now rather dim at night. Hence the new one. This should last me another 20 years. 2013 Vogue SE SDV8

| JayGee Member Since: 27 Jul 2021 Location: London Posts: 3404      | That's the downside of Tritium and why I don't spend a fortune on them. For an even cheaper option Timex do some nice looking 'field watches' where the whole face illuminates with a press of the crown. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) | ||
