Ya gotta keep things in perspective.
Unless you actually are 007, driving a car is most likely the most dangerous thing you will do in your day.

Good point. I have one radium-dialed watch and recently lost a close friend (in his fifties) to cancer, so am sensitive to it. I do have a geiger-counter.

One of those watches that makes me think "why am I not wearing this more often?"

A good question, but no, not very much. I don't wear this watch very often -- maybe two days a month on average -- and it is stored in a large, well-ventilated space. I have just one other watch with radium paint, and it tickles the Geiger Counter at about 1 micro-sievert/h, so the two combined, both worn at about the same frequency and stored in the same place, likely pose a minimal health risk. I'm guessing I face a much greater health risk each day by driving on one of L.A.'s congested freeways -- due to really poor air quality, and the risk of being hit by a crazy/stupid driver.

I feel similarly about my Ranchero which has radium based lume on both the indices and the hands. It’s a portable nuclear fission reactor, but I suspect that there are many daily activities in my life that pose a more significant risk to my health, not the least of which is driving.
