Best Luminous Watches Reviews

We love the elegant, classy look of an analog watch. They offer a level of sophistication that’s hard to match in a digital watch. However, one of the downsides of many analog watches is that they’re hard to read at night or in dark environments.

Luminous watches solve this problem by offering a backlight or glow in the dark numbers to help you check the time even in the darkest environments. Watches that light up at night are particularly helpful for those who like to camp or spend a lot of time outdoors, because you’ll still be able to check the time even if the sun starts to set.

Some of the best luminescent watches can serve as a flashlight as well.

Highlights

This watch from Victorinox is designed to be ‘as versatile as a Swiss Army Knife’, and what really makes it stand out is the number of different light functions it offers. A blue LED light brightens the entire watch face and makes it very easy to read. There is also a light on the top of the face where it meets the bracelet. This extended white light can serve as a flashlight if you are in a dark area. This light can also blink in a strobe or SOS pattern. At the bottom of the watch face is a red LED light. This light blinks once every 10 seconds to help you find your watch. If the battery starts running low, this red light will blink three times every 10 seconds, notifying you to change the battery. The hands, indexes, and numbers are also completely luminescent, making this one of the most versatile glowing watches out there.

This watch also has a number of features beyond the LED lights. It has military time and date features for more accurate timekeeping. The case is made with durable stainless steel that has been PVD treated for a very elegant look. You can choose between stainless steel, leather, or rubber bands, depending on your taste. The face is made with triple-coated sapphire crystal that is scratch resistant and anti-reflective. The watch is also water resistant.
