    Excellent video, and system.
    Have a few Ball Tritium tubed watches, favourite being the Deepquest. Glow is relativly dull, but constant, with 3 different colours for the 12 marker, hands and the other hour markers. Probably score a 6 or 7 through the test but will keep glowing for the next 20yrs or so. Look forward to the new standard being used.
    Thanks

    Been looking forward to this ever since you teased it on Collection Conundrum, and very well done. IMHO, the Axios is still the winner because the brightness of the hands is arguably more important than the brightness of the markers. Maybe I'm just biased though, because I love my own Ironclad to bits.

    @destrygriffith3972 Год назад

    Hey Dave, love your channel, the way you do things, your attitude and modest personality are just so ahem, watchable and pleasant. And this was a great idea! You really got me thinking about the science of it now. Can we know your charging procedure? Do you know how long it takes in normal sunlight to maximally charge a deeply multilayered hand or index? I wonder if grow lights would be the best imitators of sunlight. I wonder if you have already bought a few extra of whatever model lightsource you've been using to keep it consistent now that you've got your formula down. Do you estimate from your research that you're probably getting them about as charged as they can be gotten? I wonder because what if the most layered applications take the longest to charge the bottom layers, but will then last the longest (or just start off the brightest) if you do...
    So many good questions now dancing through my mind. Like: what is the term for point brightness? Is it lumosity? Or luminosity? What if you also measured the total light emitted and threw in some fully lumed dials with their crazy "torch" effect - not hard to win a total-light-emitted contest when you lume the whole dial (and maybe even a bunch of the bezel).
    For me, the best tests would ultimately be functional: charge the heck out of 'em and come back at intervals through the night and tell us which ones you can read the best easiest longest with the least squinting. Haha: scientific subjectivity!

    @swilkobarfingtoniii1642 3 года назад

    I really appreciate the time and effort it took to put this one together Dave! Excellent overview and comparison. I am personally starting to prefer the blue over the greenish hued lumes on offer.
    I got a Steeldive with the blue lume and it seems to be at least as good and maybe initially brighter than my Seiko Samurai. I have a couple watches from the 1970's that still glow with a charge, but they fade pretty fast.
    I also just got an old Rolex field watch that doesn't glow at all any more, but I do know it will be radioactive for 1600 more years. That 80 year old watch has a scant 24 hour power reserve, hand wind only- but it keeps excellent time.

Would be very interesting to see how Citizen's blue lume stacks up against the competitors. And being a sub 200 Dollar watch it would sure fit your channel profile. All the best, keep up the great work!

    First of all Amazing video. No one has done this before! If possible we would like more of this content. That being said, the Seiko marinemaster lume is brighter and more long lasting than that samurai as the Samurai is not a high end seiko so they don't do their best on those models. Probably the same case with an Orient saturation diver.

      Usually only 2 or 3, sometimes I just measure around and try to pick one in the middle. But I did multiple time lapses of every watch to make sure I was getting fairly consistent results.

      A this point i don't want to change my baseline, but I do have a tritium watch to measure. I think on this scale T100 tubes would probably score around 30. So far brighter than anything else after an hour, but maybe less bright for the first half hour than some of the others.
