Recently bought one of these myself. Super light as you mentioned. I've gone off heavy watches in the last few years, with this one, you hardly notice it's there! I like it.
That is a cool watch. If you guys didn't try to take us over in 1812 we could have been really good friends. My Ball watch uses tritium gas tubes which the manufacturer states will glow for 25 years. Cheers, mate this shot of wild turkey 81 is in commemoration of guys like us that appreciate finely crafted swiss watches. You rock, bro!
Are you American then? What has any of what you said in the second sentence have anything to do with this particular watch review? You weren't alive then, neither was I. Leave it in the past bro we are good friends. Thanks for watching.
Actually they did take us over... We won the war but were broken economically and had to come under the British Crown. We are still there by the way. The city of London and its bankers rule the World save for Russia, North Korea, Cuba and Iceland...
T100 stands for Tritium - 100 milliCuries. The half life is 12.3 years, but it will glow for much longer than that, only really depends on how bright you _need_ it to be (hence service life on the vials being highly subjective). It being a T100 (rather than T25, which is Nite's usual flavour, and I believe the industry standard), I'd expect a much longer service life than the stated 20 years for the T25 models. I myself went for a Chrono (T25) and I have zero regrets. It has really nice weight to it and the PVD finish looks the dog's bollocks (though I wish they'd disclose what exactly they coat 'em with). Think at some point next year I'll get an Aqua AQ1, just LOVE the black/blue/white combo
I have been wearing my Nite Hawk watch for a solid year. A bit disappointed in it. The silicone band split. It losses time every month. I ordered up a Web replacement band. And for 35 bucks what a disappointment. I gave them (Nite) a shot. Going try a Armourlite next.
I cannot understand how they're charging these prices for a plastic watch, mineral glass, cheap spring bars and cheap rubber band. So many companies have these types of watches. Makes no sense... Call it polymer, Carbon reenforced all they want. It's blood plastic.
I suppose it looks OK with the nuclear tubes.. £400 should at least get you a sapphire crystal (K1 is rubbish) and a sellita sw2oo auto movement. I wouldn't pay anything over £50 for a cheap swiss quarts movement in a watch.
£50 watch of course not, but plenty of £300 ones out there with sapphire and auto movements. What your paying for here are obviously the tritium tubes. I see on the Nite website they are now selling watches with auto movements and proper crystals but for £600.!! That's cool if the rest of the watches build quality is up to scratch. I feel the whole line is overpriced. Ultimately if you enjoy the watch that is the most important thing.
Haikenwatch, 100 £ , sapphire crystal and Japanese automatic movement, Flieger design and actually a surprising good quality of work. But no tritium tubes. Anyone know a watch with quartz solar, tritium tubes and sapphire crystal?
Most watches recommend you do not wear in the shower, even my G-shocks. I use my G-shocks when I go swimming and shower afterwards and I've never had any issues. They have to put this in the manual to cover themselves.

Hey mate, how are you getting on with your watch? Any issues? Do you still rate it as much as when you got it?

Try, Reactor watches!
Jack I love my armourlite al88 but it cost a lot more than $35 and it’s worth every penny!!!
I just picked up a mx30 hope it's good it will be put to the test
Wish I had £300 for a watch which “ might give me some good timekeeping “ and a “ nice little bag of silica gel “ 😂😂
Lol I love how homie was like damn we could've been friends if are countries

I kind of hear you. I bought a Luminox recently and it wasn't cheap. A few hundred USD. It felt very cheap.
They are not standard issue for the sas. They wear whatever they want.
sweet
Please share your link this watch i need

It was £300. K1 is better for impacts, sapphire for scratches. Do you have any videos of £50 watches with automatic swiss movements on your channel?
£50 watch of course not, but plenty of £300 ones out there with sapphire and auto movements.
What your paying for here are obviously the tritium tubes. I see on the Nite website they are now selling watches with auto movements and proper crystals but for £600.!!

Hey Nite, please answer your phone!!!!
For that price you could almost get a Marathon GSAR and have an automatic, swiss made watch. Nite is way over priced for what you get.
ck40711 The watch is £300. A Gsar is $1000.
No nite shot. Disappointed!
Wait wait wait.. This watch is standard issue for SAS.... 2 seconds later, don't take them in the shower..

165 quid its crap not even shock proof rubbish
Looks like a cheap and nasty child's watch. £60 should be enough for this watch, certainly not £300.
Thanks for watching. Check them out: www.nitewatches.com/collections
