October 7, 200916 yr Author Is that the radioactive symbol on there? And if so, why? Is that how it's powered?

October 9, 200916 yr Yeah, the tritium makes me a little nervous. Tritium has a half life of about 12.33 years, which means it looses half its energy every 12.33 years via beta decay (-e). Beta has more energy than alpha (which is heavier and can be stopped by a sheet of paper), thus tritium could penetrated deeper below the skin (although it is stopped by a few centimeters of wood). Unless both the glass dial and the glass receptacle on the markers break there should not be a need to worry. However you may wish to read more on the matter to appease your concern.
October 9, 200916 yr Although tritium does produce a beta particle, it is a very low energy beta that has a very low probability of penetrating the dead layer of skin. The real danger with tritium is from internal damage due to ingestion or inhalation. The triated paint once dry poses little hazard.
October 9, 200916 yr I prefer the more subtile markings to the radioactive symbol, like those on my Tag:
October 9, 200916 yr I kinda like the "U.S. Government Swiss Made." That's why we've been running a large deficit for so long. We bought Switzerland.
October 10, 200916 yr So what happens to Swiss cheese now Put it in a tin and dispense it like shaving foam?

October 12, 200916 yr Author I like the looks of that one; unfortunately, am unfamiliar with the name, "Android". Also, was going to parrot the "too bad it's a quartz" line, but have recently discovered -- they're all quartzes, in this price range. Including Invictas. What's wrong with Quartzes?
October 12, 200916 yr As did I. After a family member threw out my Citizen Eco Drive simple black leather strap guy (its something around 85 on Amazon now) I have been looking for a replacement that isn't to complicated looking.
October 12, 200916 yr Author I agree with "too complicated looking". A lot of Invictas (including one I own) look too "busy" for my tastes.
October 12, 200916 yr If I saw someone coming toward me wearing that watch, I would know they had a serious personality disorder and run the other way.
October 12, 200916 yr Some of their designs are certainly robot-y. If I saw someone coming toward me wearing that watch, I would know they had a serious personality disorder and run the other way.
