We dare you not to be astonished by our latest watch, the Nuclear Watch! This remarkable watch provides a constant source of nuclear illumination for up to 25 years! You don’t need batteries or maintenance of any kind for the glow; this watch will be lit for decades! No longer do you need to worry about using a backlight or having to deal with luminescent paint where the light fades quickly. The glow you’ll see 24/7 is really from the nuclear fission happening inside the watch!

Imagine Having a (Safe) Nuclear Reactor on your Wrist!!
This incredible watch is powered by ~100 quadrillion radioactive hydrogen atoms! But don’t worry, this watch is completely stable (the NRC even approves that it’s 100% safe)! From the time you purchase the Nuclear Watch, we guarantee that over the next 12.3 years half those atoms will help light up your watch by destroying themselves at a rate of 250 million atoms every second! This still leaves the remaining 50 quadrillion atoms to continue working for you! The hour and minute hands have a constant green illumination, as do the dashes which mark each hour. The 12 o'clock dash mark shines bright orange. Now you can always tell exactly what time it is, whether it’s day or night!

Hi

Nice, Ball watches do the same type watches with the Tritium with swiss movements in.

Funny... I've seen that watch before, though without the nuclear twist in the advertisement... Either a Marathon or a Timex if memory serves...

IDK. I would take a Luminox over this thing every day and twice on Sunday. And it is Swiss. Who knows what that thing is. The description reads like it was written by some Chinese dude with above average grammar and syntax. A Luminox can be had at similar prices and it actually has ... a name!
