  • I am not exactly sure the materials-science behind glow in the dark pigments. All of these watches except the Corduba on the far right will glow dimly and faintly through the night. They do not go completely dark. With night adapted vision, and my eyes fully dilated for darkness, at (say) 3:30 AM I can easily read the time (on all of them but the Corduba).

  • @hulkbuster1026 the watches in this video contain a phophorous based paint that absorbs and stores light. They won't stay bright for the full night though. The better watches are painted with radon. The light is a result of radioactivity and so will always be bright but and doesn't require any batteries

  • what are the glowing lumes made of and why is it that light makes them glow
