Smith & Wesson watch

[dreamer]

I'm considering of getting the S & W tritium watch. Anyone of you nice ppl here owns one? Here's the link.... http://www.lighthound.com/sales/smithandwesson_sww-357-t.htm . Any comment? Kinda like the tritium material since it's self illuminating.

I have a titanium one and like it a lot. I also have a Traser P6500. The Traser, Luminox, and Marathon watches have brighter vials, sourced from the same supplier I think. The S&W is still readable at night, but not as well as the others. All in all for the price, I think they are a good solid watches. If you wan't maximum brightness, I would go with one of the others. LA police gear had a special on Traser closeouts. I would check with them to see if they still have them.

Since I can't get them where I live I have asked my wife to bring me one now that she is visiting the US.
I have asked the cheapest one she can find, with rubber band, plastic etc.
I don't want to pay a high price for a watch if the Trit is goig to last only about 10yrs and if the brand is
not the top quality for that kind of watches. Before putting $250 in a S&W I prefer to put $400 in a Luminox
but for $150 or $170 it is ok.
Just my thoughts :-)
