All I can tell you is that S&W watches are not held in very high regard amongst watch guys. When it comes to tritium tube watches they prefer Luminox, Marathon, H3, and Ball.

Buy the Luminox. You will NOT be disappointed! I have this one and couldn't be more pleased. BTW,they can be found on line for MUCH less!

I've had a S&W watch for five years, it keeps fine time. The only problem is that after three years the stem would no longer lock down.

I have had a SW tritium for several years, and when brand new, a watch with plain white hands were easier to see in the dark. It was a piece of crap. They use tritium tubes that are rejected by the better brands.

Take everyone's advice and get a Luminox or if you have the bucks, get a Ball. I've been happy with Luminox.

Do the S&W watches have MIM parts and an internal lock?

Another vote for the Luminox. I bought a very plain one on sale at Cabela's a few years ago for $70 and really like it. When I'm rich and famous, I'll buy a Ball Engineer Hydrocarbon Spacemaster!

$166+ for a watch!!! I'm glad I'm retired.

I have one; it's been to Afghanistan, Iraq, Kuwait and other parts of the world. It is on its second crystal and needs a third one and third watch band and it keeps on ticking and keeps pretty good time.

I found the forum as I am looking purchase a new one.
