Thoughts on a night time watch?

[flatcrest500]

i'm looking for a watch to use in the dark, but not one with a button to illuminate the face - digital - ie something that's permanently on if that makes sense?

budget around £100 if possible (ideally less as its not going to be used often..)

Don't think you'll get one that's permanently lit, but I used tu have a lorus with a lumibrite dial that flows for ages.
£30. Made by Seiko

Tritium tubes are the way to do, but you probably need to budget £200 at least.

This looks like a bargain Traser.

Sounds like you want tritium markings but your budget is way too low for that.

Wow, those are pretty cool! How bright is it?

Surely a smart watch of some description will do this.

I have a couple of Luminox watches which also have the Tritium always glowing tubes in them but at a lower price than the lovely Nite watches above. Had them for around 15 years and they still glow all night long.

As Lee says Luminox would be ideal.

Jura have reasonable prices but you’ll need to spend a bit more.

A small torch? Would come in well under your budget as well.

Ball watches are big on tritium tube numbers and index markers. Way, way above the OP’s budget though.

Or he could get a g-shock, not the lume he was asking for but well within budget
