The only thing I don't like about the tridium is the glow on certain missions. I like to be concealed as much as possible and the "glow" sometimes makes me paranoid. I am sure most of ya'll have had that feeling of being exposed. Other than that everything is fine. Later. www. marathonwatches.com
That is why I quit wearing radioluminescent watches. Along with the fact that they lose their charge over time. If you cover the watch face to stop the glow, you are back to needing two hands to see what time it is.

My Casio has a feature where it will illuminate if I tilt my wrist in a certain angle. I can also turn that feature off if I do not want to be calling attention to myself.
