there is an element of truth to the T word -

"According to secret documents issued to interrogators at Guantanamo Bay, obtained[6] and released by The Guardian, "the Casio F-91W digital watch was declared to be 'the sign of al-Qaeda' and a contributing factor to continued detention of prisoners by the analysts stationed at Guantanamo Bay. Briefing documents used to train staff in assessing the threat level of new detainees advise that possession of the F-91W – available online for as little as £4 – suggests the wearer has been trained in bomb making by al-Qaeda in Afghanistan."[7] United States Military intelligence officials have identified the F-91W as a watch that terrorists use when constructing time bombs.[8][9][10][11][12]

This association was highlighted in the Denbeaux study, and may have been used in some cases at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp.[13] An article published in the Washington Post in 1996 reported that Abdul Hakim Murad, Wali Khan Amin Shah, and Ramzi Ahmed Yousef had developed techniques to use commonly available Casio digital watches to detonate time bombs.[14]"

I'm well aware of that la, just read it the other day.

Singapore very sensitive one leh, anyhow put terrorist here terrorist there. Maybe people will laugh it away.. Or launch an investigation that would be utterly unnecessary.

Remember this case? Lol.

Decent, but I had very reasonable expectations as I'm aware that tritium is never going to beat Superluminova. For the initial charge that is. I'd say look at fully charged C3, wait 30 min. That's the level the tritium will be at when new.

I have way too many black dials.

I like tritium watch and understand green is the brightest. any night shot?

Loads of reviews on this carnival watch, I've already advised on the brightness, don't see how night shots help. Camera exposure can vary so it's useless to judge based on single shots.

I saw this brand Alexandre Christie Night vision watch, they have their tritium watch on display. But it said T100 instead of T25.

Look for Ball watch photos if you wanna see night shots of tritium. But as mentioned, your eyes see differently from cameras. Camera shots also depends how long you set the shuttle speed, the exposure etc.

T25 means less than 25 millicures of gas in the tubes
T100 means less than 100 millicures of gas in the tubes

T100 sometimes can have less than T25 and just put T100 for marketing purpose.

I heard its the total amount of gas in the watch and not individual tube.
