Top 5 Watches For Lume! Lume-O-Ween 2022 

Full reading. People always ask me if I do audiobook narration, so I thought I'd give it a shot. I think it turned out good. Although afterward I listened to a version by Christopher Lee, and I felt very amateurish.

@@RelativeTime I had heard the short reel so now I'll listen to the full. This is probably a perfect companion to the video and rubella for paying attention to viewer requests for your narration.

How did the word "thanks" turn into "rubella" above. I hate predictive spelling!

Thanks, glad you liked it. Your doing a great job lately too. Your thumbnails are really on point.

@@RelativeTime thanks brother!

Thanks. I haven't seen the Autozilla so I can't say for certain. Although citizen usually has really good lume.

I guess it's still sold out. I know they are focused on their new gmt, but hopefully the hyper-g will come back in stock soon.

I don't think I've seen a fully lumed watch with a 24hr dial. That would be intersting.

I don't think I've looked at either of those. Only Laco I looked at last year was the one with orange indices.

Yah a couple. I reviewed the Komodo when it first came out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xg-n-B5Rp-0.html As well as the newer Miyako. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XCXMDd3-vUs.html

Do you mean the Spearfish? I've never seen the 40mm swordfish. The spearfish has good lume, but not good enough to make the top 5.

If I remeber right, the GA1000 is the gravity master. I really should check that out. Hadn't heard of the Nautica before.

Well, these are the best of the best I've seen for the year. There are still some that are a little less and are pretty good, just not at this level.

The design of the Signum is kind of bland... but the lume is crazy.

We have had a great response from the Chicagoians(with the exception of Sox fans) and Cubs fans. You can even see it on David Ross' wrist during games. The Wriglyville map on this dial is subtle in the daylight so it is not too loud.

Well usually I set it up the time lapse before I go to bed and check in the morning. Normally I set for either 2 or 3 hours. Depends on how good I think the lume is, and every once in a while I go back and redo it for longer. Most of the time I find that it's sufficient as the cameras no longer able to pick up anything. In terms of the video, sometimes I only show part of it simply because of the analytics. I show enough to prove what I'm saying and then go on to the next topic. Most of the time people don't want to sit and watch the time lapse for 30 seconds to a minute and they'll skip it anyways. Too many people do that and then that tells the algorithm that the video is not good and then it doesn't show it to as many people. So I try to find the balance between getting everybody the information they should need, regardless of whether they're going to skip it or not, yet still keeping a flow to keep RU-vid happy.

…And after 8 years, dump it because it won’t illuminate any longer.

@@paulauksztulewicz4803 at that point any superluminova will have their hour and minute hands replaced too for usual maintenance !

@@george-danfulger Good point. Now how about the tritium-filled hour markers? May be harder to replace.

@@paulauksztulewicz4803 i believe thats a thing to worry for the maintainenrs of the watch the pwople who are doing the maintenance . for eg. a favoyrite brand of mine Certina has their rates for maintenance roght on their websote. it is possible too to find out in advance with the maintainenrs or makers of the respective watches

@@george-danfulger Good to know. Thanks for your insight!

I forgot I mentioned them in this video. It's a damn shame had a lot of potential.

@@RelativeTime absolutely agree. The concept was great and in fact I was a backer consequently. However Adrian did not manage his failure to produce real product at all well. There was no explanation let alone apology to his backers just prevarication... and then an apparent hope that it would all die a quiet death if he could just continue to ignore the fact that he either kept or spent $46K on SOMETHING... and his backers deserved better that this. Annoyingly (altough actually I'm calm about it as there is no use crying over spilled milk) he then went on to readvertise another similar on KS with a new legato driver (different dials) project launch of June 2023. Thats cheeky. Really enjoy YOUR channel BTW... your'e calm and intelligent and I find your review both peaceful and interesting LOL 🥰

@@VirtualOz thanks, I really appreciate you saying that given what we're talking about. Jesus, I didn't know he launched another one. Did he actually ship it? I've tried reaching out to him a few times, maybe once a year or so asking for him to comment. But I think at this point he's blocked me.

@@RelativeTime no he pulled the 2nd one and stop referencing it on his website also. I think it may have been an attempt to raise further funds and POSSIBLY thus actually produce something... but thats a ponzi approach anyway... so no its closed. Its OK its easy to compliment what you do. You have a great approach to horology and I find that you have an "easy listening" voice. Glad you're doing what you're doing 😀

I've heard they are great too. I've tried reaching out to the owner a few times to see if I can borrow one.

i do!

This isn't about the best brands, but the best lume I've seen. Regardless of if you like them or not, the lume they use is impressive.

Bullshit comment
