I can appreciate a nice watch, but since retiring 3 years or so ago, I've not worn a watch as I've no need of one. Still keep looking at Brietlings mind you. |

Only watch I ever lusted after is the Omega Speedmaster AKA 'moonwatch'. 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.

Most of the mainstream brands use SuperLuminova, Rolex have their ChromaLight, I think Ball still use Tritium encased in glass tubes. |

Military Watch Company AKA MWC. Not ‘genuine’ military watches apparently but tough, functional, cheap and with tritium versions. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

I’ve been looking at luminox for a while, but also the g-shock watches as a weekend beater. Will check them out. |

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

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) |

Nite Watches do a good range of practical everyday watches with tritium markers at reasonable prices. |

Timex are no longer cheap and cheerful. they are now considered desirable in the US. worn when your Rolex could pose risks |
