I was looking for a tritium watch with a date that I could see without my reading glasses and an illuminated second hand to do one minute timings without pressing buttons.

The date is visible by day but is difficult to see when I have the compartment light on at work at night on my locomotive.  I have to get my flashlight up close to the watch to see the date.

Another issue is that the second hand is within one of the circles of the chronograph which is small and not illuminated by the tritium.  Therefore, I must rely on the stop watch to do a minute timing when I just wanted to be able to keep track with a glance of the second hand and not by using the stopwatch.

Other than the date and second hand issue, the tritium illumination is nice.  The stop watch is also good and the switch back function is cool to view at night.

Bottom line, its a good watch for the right person.  It just didn't meet my needs  so I returned it. Now I'm wondering if I should just go back to a digital watch.
