I care nothing for lume and can't see why everyone gets excited about it.
Do you hide under the bed covers with your torches? :lol: :wink:
Brightest lume of watches I have had are black SMP and Seiko monster.

Discounting tritium vials…
My long gone Omega Dynamic chrono. By far…
The only thing that came close to that, was a Seiko 7002 diver.

The lume on my 30+ year old 7009 series Seiko is as good as that on many of my modern watches - after 30+ years :shock: Of the others, the lume on the Mido Chrono is superior but the lume on my Mido Multifort Automatic is on the low side of average :|
Overall, Seiko comes up as tops in traditional lume in my experience.
Actually, I'll answer even though I'm sure you intended it as a rhetorical statement rather than a question.Originally Posted by Neil.C
I use mine as a clock at night on the bedstand. I hate those digital numbers glowing at me all night and prefer to have a good watch with solid lume ready to strap on and check when I wake up. The Seikos and the Mido are tops for that but the Poljot Alarm is pretty good too and has the advantage of ...well...the alarm :lol:
From Luminova watches, I rate the PRS17 & 18 very highly - they have the wow factor of extreme brightness after a charge. For really usable all-night lume, nothing beats tritium vials, though.
Granted on the Trit dials but I just can't seem to get away from the view that they look just ...well...so Chem Lab to me. If I were in the field or working night shift someplace away from regular light I'd see their utility and live with the Industrial look of them. Fortunately, night shifts were a long time ago for me and I am not out in the field at night except for the occasional Boy Scout event with my son and I'll struggle along with my Seiko for those events. :DOriginally Posted by quoll
