Setting Expectations & Realizing I Overvalue Lume
I have been previously spoiled by BGW-9 & Seiko's Lumibrite on my other divers. I use Lume quite often at night as a tool.
My Baltic Aquascaphe however has Super Luminova C1 but more of an old Radium style in application.
The patina designed handset & markers are bright at first but very fade quickly and are barely visible after 10+ minutes.
Initial charge:
5 minutes elapsed and so on:
I think I just have to set my expectations for this diver. The artificial patina look is cohesive with the watches overall design.
Do I wish that Baltic tried to use a brighter Lume, or apply more layers? Yes.
Can I live without it? Yes.
It's a small criticism for an overall fantastic watch, I'll live.
At this stage in my watch addiction, I really enjoy Lume. It excites my monkey brain. Maybe this will change overtime and I may not value it as highly.
If anything, It's further reason to use my other tool watch divers at night as a flashlight instead.
Note: I turned off my night sight long exposure setting on my cellphone camera. The images are pretty accurate to what my eye sees.
I like affordable & unique watches.
My latest purchase had the option of lume or no lume depending on the colour you chose. I chose a model with no lume. I have plenty of watches with lume if I think I’ll need that feature.
Just saying.....

lume is nice but backlight or Indiglo is best. A lot of big brands suck at lume where Seiko and Rolex rule.
Buenas, si te animas ya le agregas más lumen, y a tendrás un mejor rendimiento

No soy lo suficientemente valiente. No para este reloj.
Yo lo hago a los míos y no estoy calificado... Así que práctica lo en otros hasta que estés confiado. Pensaba lo mismo hasta que me anime y ya antes me preocupaba si podría ahora con pasiencia y buen pulso se puede
