I want a tritium dial watch, but Luminox is out as they're complete junk, and Ball is more than I want to spend.

I looked around and came across this brand, but know nothing about them. Anybody have one or know about them?

Armourlite owner for 2 years. Keeps excellent time. Has outstanding illumination. Came with a good quality NATO strap. Still on OEM battery. I would buy again.

Thanks Yooper. Sounds like they're still pretty small time, which is hopefully good for quality.

What's your band material? I prefer steel which they offer a couple of.

My band is the nylon NATO style.

If you are looking for a steel diver, check out Steinhart. Swiss made with ETA movements. Outstanding value for the money. The only knock on the company is that some of their designs are homages.

Have two, like them better than a luminox. NATO bands. Very bright, great watch. Picked them up on mass drop and saved some good $$

Marathon also uses tritium on their watches.

I've had one for several years. It came with a silicone band and an extra NATO strap. Illumination is very good (T100). It also has a sapphire crystal which is somewhat unusual for a watch in that price range. That's a good thing! All in all, I am very satisfied with the watch!

You might want to look into Lum-Tec. They make some great watches that are super bright. A bit pricey but half the cost of a Ball. I’ve had one for about 7 years and never had an issue.

I have a Traser watch that's been great. I've had it a very long time so I can't really speak to current production quality. In fact, I've had it so long that I recently sent it back to the company to have the tritium markers and hands replaced. They did a good job.
