·Don't forget the radon gas they emit when decaying. Radium watches kept in non ventilated areas is deadly. I have a radon detector and it shocked me. Was like 10x safe levels with only one watch.
I collect uranium glass and lume watches and no cancer YET ! LOL

Can anyone recommend a geiger counter (dosimeter)? I'm wondering if something like this is a good idea?
