Despite a UV photon flux sufficient to blast the entire atmosphere off a Class IV Gas Giant my Memomatic remains serenely oblivious to the whole nonsense. Lume? If one must.

Wearing this Seiko the past couple of days. While confined to the house, to shelter in place, I've been wearing a bunch of my solar watches that I don't keep in the safe.

Whilst the lume markings are towards centre on the 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, & 11 indices, they’re on the outside of the indices for 3, 9 & 12. And no lume marking on the 6. I thought it unusual?

This seems like a fun concept, though with arbitrary exposure it's tough to gauge relative brightness.

Photo taken within a few minutes of watches being in sunlight; taking another shot in a couple of hours might make for an interesting comparison as well.
From left to right: Seamaster Pro (2019), Speedmaster Pro (2018), Seiko SKZ327 'Stargate', Lum-Tec B7

While the Speedmaster is a legible watch, after dark the Seamaster outclasses it by a mile - this is even more obvious on the wrist than it is in that photo. The Seiko punches way above its price class - it costs an order of magnitude less than either of the Omegas and shines brighter than either. The Lum-Tec isn't as bright as some of the others, but its markings are so clear that it's the easiest to precisely read in the dark.
