Watch Hands
Posted in Watches on 06/05/2010 05:50 am by adminHow long do you have to keep watch under light to activate the glowing hands?
I have a relic watch that has hands that should be visible in the dark. I know you have to have it under the light to activate it but I don't know for how long and there weren't any directions regarding this with the watch. I had it under the light for about 20 minutes but it didn't stay activated. Can anyone help?
Less than 1 minute under a bright light will cause the hands to glow. In the 1950's the watches had a tiny bit of radium in them which was not good for people's health. The new ones are not dangerous. But they only work for a while before they lose their ability to "activate" the glow. If yours is new, take it back. If old, it is now just a regular watch.
