Hi all, for me it isthe Citizen Eco Drive. Besides that gorgeous bright blue lume it seems to last a long time. Usually I charge the Lume before I wear the watch and the Eco Drive seems to last longer than the other brand watchesin my collection. ....Bob

For standard non-H3 lume the Orca lasts the longest of the rest. The Monster is brighter at first but the Orca lasts longer.

Hi Marc, I have heard about the great lume from Ball and Seiko. I am familiar with Invicta.I was wondering if you were pleased on how long the lume last. I know those tubes in the Ball last for 25 years and I am pretty sure that the Seiko stays bright for a very long tine.I was just curious. I can take my Eco Drives to a movie theatre and the lume is very visable at the end of the show, which I like. I know with the amount of lume on your Orca it probally last longer than most Eco Drives. ....Thanks Marc, Bob

Thanks Den for the response. What I have started to do is to chage my lume under an led flashlight or a lamp with a halogen bulb, before wearing. Usually a few minutes on the charge.That seems to increase the length the lume lasts, especially on my Eco Drives. ....Bob

I would have to say it would be my Casio.


The lume will last until the battery dies. :%

But, seriously, the best lume on a watch that I have is on this twenty dollar Lorus.

It's full dial and lasts all night. Go figure.

Both my Russian Divers have good lume and last pretty decently....especially my newest RD. It's an Offshore RD with the black dial and green lume hour markers and numerals. It just seems to glow all the time. Today I went out and sat in the backyard with the dogs...and propped my foot up on a bench. I sat outside for about an hour just enjoying the sun and unseasonably mild weather here today in Houston.The watch is glowing so bright, I can see it insidethe house....and I came inside about 45 mins ago. My QRD will also glow for a while if I charge it outside. I wore it one day to the movies...and the theater I went to was across town...after the 45 min drive, I could still see the watch glowing after the 2 1/2 hour movie was over.

My Citizen Orca by far, followed closely by almost all of my Seiko watches and mainly the Frankenmonster.
