Poncy sounding guy, but good video of the watch. Looks polished.
He grates on me, but I'll probably buy the watch in spite of that.

Sadly I use them quite a bit. LolIf you're asking, I prefer the one without the sub-dial.
Have you used massdrop? I've never but have been curious.
Wow, that one without the smaller dial in it looks awesome!Victorinox Airboss Mach 4 or Mach 7 - $299

I like them a lot. Got in on the SKX007 deal that sold out in <24hr about 2wks ago. Bought a handful of backpacking items on there.If you're asking, I prefer the one without the sub-dial.

When you say cheap, do you mean $50 or $250?Hhmmmm? I was thinking cheap. Or I could just a better built watch without the tritium I guess. Now that I am wearing a watch regularly I want something that I can abuse a little if need be. Looked at all the Casio's but nothing in their lines gets me excited. Maybe I'll just a quartz pilot watch similar to my MKII.

Is it ok to have Tritium that close to your body for that long of a time? Not to sound like a worry wort or something...but it is radioactive.
Luminox is a good choice. I've repaired a number of them, I think they're good watches. That said. I'd pick one of the mechanical Victorinox ones in the previous post.

Just don't eat it and you will be fine. The face of the watch is enough to block the radiation from the tritium.

http://ask.metafilter.com/240068/Where-did-all-the-radium-watches-goSee http://www.physics.isu.edu/radinf/tritium.htm . Some interesting specifics on firearm night sights as well as more general info.
Eating your night sight might give you about 2 years worth of background exposure. Tritium is a low energy beta emitter (a 'Greek' way of saying an electron in the case of tritium's emission). One's skin is an effective barrier. Inhalation and ingestion are not recommended so BBQ'ing one's watch or night sights is discouraged (to be more serious, caution would be indicated opening a box of crushed or burned tritium sources).
Traded a video game and 40 bucks for a Apple Watch gen 1. Never wore watches before
Great looking watch!
That is a great looking watch! I've had this similar Tag for several years and have worn it pretty much everyday for the last couple years. I have several other watches but keep coming back to this one.View attachment 12018 Just got my first automatic, SKX007, a Massdrop deal that I couldn't pass up. It's on a NATO strap until my super oyster bracelet arrives tomorrow.
I have small wrists and really prefer a 40-42mm watch but this 46mm really does wear much smaller, feels like my 42's.

Me too, I have to consciously buy other color schemes otherwise I'd have nothing but black/white military & pilot style watches haha.I am a sucker for the black face and white numbers. Nice watch.
