New Watch Ideas

[Humakt]

Christmas is a-coming!
I've already been asked what I'd like, and I think I could do with a new watch.
I don't want to ask for a break-the-bank priced watch, but would like something with a decent night light.

I've been looking at either a Timex 'Indiglo' watch or a Casio 'Illuminator'. Anyone got any experience of either of these and can comment on what their night lights are like?

Cheers.

I have one of these, looks great and works great too! And the light is the same as the Indiglo ones. Won't break the bank either.

I got this one. Brilliant night light and does everything I need. Only trouble is there is no lap time memory.

I've got a timex indiglo "expedition" had it for 4 years now and never needed a battery,totaly waterproof,stainless case,day date,rotating bezel etc etc. Dirt cheap from argos.Looked at a "nite" watch a while back,five times the price as my old timex and had no other features. Paul

Funnily enough, I was looking at exactly that watch as well.

I've got a Citizen eco drive Diver's 300m from Heinnie. It recharges from the sun and glows like one of those luminox jobs but without all the Navy SEALS shit to go with it.

Now thats a survival expert... can tell the time with his knife.

Only joking Jeep. Sorry couldn't resist.

And yes I do know its possible to get a rough idea of the time from indirectly using your knife.

Last Christmas, the only thing I asked of my wife was this watch: Luminox Original Navy Seal Dive Watch 3001.NATO.GRY (http://www.jomashop.com/luminox-navy-seal-3001-nato-gry.html)

I've been coveting it since I was a teenager, and now that I'm a big boy (and have no real big desires materially...) I asked her to pick it up for me. I got an extra band, Black nylon webbing Maratac Zulu 4-ring in PVD finish, for fancy dress occasions. :D

I have this watch and it was a good one, kind of still is, but I wore out the little nubs where the band is attached, really no repair for this, sad. I currently have the Casio Mudman, a brute of a watch, solar powered, waterproof, very well made, great lite, and got it on Amazon just days (before) Christmas for a song, couldn't be better.
