Thanks Nick , they are fantastic value , ive really enjoyed wearing mine today . :D

The indiglo works by an electroluminescent panel that is behind the dial , this provides an even illumination of the full watch dial , its fantastic :thumbup:

Here is mine again on a black NATO using the down under method :D

Looking at the date when I took it from the box about an hour ago, it seems I haven't worn it for a month.

Cheers for that Bern.

I was asking because all the indiglo watches that I have seen have had the white dials. Does it still work as well with the black dials?

Not a good picture (using iphone) but does give some indication of how the indiglo glows . Sorry about the picture , the indiglo is much brighter.

Ooh, intriguing.

Wifey has worn Timex expeditions for years. They take everything that she throws at them and yet keep ticking. She absolutely swears by them and will not wear a watch without the indiglo feature. (She always has the white dial, hence my question)

I am so glad that I didn't waste all that money on the CWs and the Yachtmaster that never leave the safety deposit box!!! :(
