Enjoying a first. My dad told me when indigo first came out, it was a really big deal. Kinda cool to think about.

My wife and I have matching ones. Looks good but ticks really loud, even for a quartz watch. At night I have to put it in a drawer and it’s like Edgar Allen Poe’s Tell Tale Heart…

Indiglo is still a big deal as it's the bestest illumination. I believe there was a television ad campaign. I thought the Indiglo wikipedia entry mentioned it, but I guess it was this article.

...after the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, an investment analyst from Tempe, Ariz., used the night light on his Ironman watch to lead a group of people down 40 flights of dark, smoky stairs.
