Re: Thanks for the fine helpful info, Derek,howeve

In Response To: Thanks for the fine helpful info, Derek,however... ()

: Is this some equivalent to Seiko's current
: LumniBrite? (I have it on a certain Seiko
: diver's of mine)

From a comparison standpoint, they are equivalent. I bought my SMP Ti to replace my Seiko Kinetic Ti Diver's. Hope you don't have a Seiko Kinetic because you'ld be in for an unpleasant surprise about 5 years after buying the watch.

Both Lumibrite and Super Luminova have the same light charge characteristics. And in direct comparison, they have about the same decay too. Using a 7-cell Maglite to charge the dial for 20 seconds produces an extrememly bright glow that quickly dims over a period of 2 mins or so to a luminescence that is readable overnight.

In other words, they both charge up equally quickly and the glow lasts about the same from the last light charge.
