Dave, you just outdid everyone else in the game. Great job.

Dave! You have truly outdone yourself, best lume war / comparison on-line. You put in lots of work and talent. This is just one way in which you hard work and talent sets you in a class of its own. Thank you for all you do, it is greatly appreciated 🙏👍👏

Absolutely great! a lot of work, but it is an objective comparison. love to see it in your future videos 👌🏾

Production values just keep going up, the information keeps been displayed in a better way... this channel is just waiting to explode, its so amazing.

Great comparison...you did a lot of work! Thanks for putting it together & establishing a standard.

Such an incredible well-done lume competition! To say the least you developed a standard! Just great work all around! Thank you so much for featuring the Diver, it was fun to find out its grade and watch it compete against some of the best torches out there! Thanks again Dave!

Well done. That's a brilliant test. 👏Congratulations, that is definitely the most definitive test so far. All are great in terms of lume. I know I can see both my Seiko and my Orient in the morning getting up for work and that's all that matters to me. It is really great to see some lume scores that can actually be measured.

Thank goodness for people like you Dave, great job. I picked up the Orient because of your review.

This was so much fun Dave! You nailed it. Thank you!

Excellent video, and system. Have a few Ball Tritium tubed watches, favourite being the Deepquest. Glow is relativly dull, but constant, with 3 different colours for the 12 marker, hands and the other hour markers. Probably score a 6 or 7 through the test but will keep glowing for the next 20yrs or so. Look forward to the new standard being used. Thanks

Thanks for all the effort and this great video.

What brilliant review. Thank you!

Awesome calculations, and great video work!

Incredibly well done video, Dave. Hands down the best lume comparison video I’ve seen to date. Production values here are also worth commenting on. You scored a grand-slam home run with this video!

This is a really excellent piece of work. Awesome going forward you will build the ultimate lume performance database!

Love it. Always like lume shots and lume battles.

Absolutely amazing work here!

🔥 🙌🔥 Watched a lot of lume comparison videos but I love what you did here! Can’t wait to see more. I just ordered the SWC Bunker so I’m excited to see how it shows in person

Excellent comparison review. Most definitive yet. Thanks

Thank you for the time and effort, not only to develop this system, but for your style of presentation. This is outstanding work, and an outstanding little video.

I really appreciate your effort. Loved it!

Absolutely what I have been looking for. Very needed feature for prolonged dark work. Great idea

Wow, FANTASTIC methodology. Thanks. Please do more for other watches!

What a great way to benchmark and rate lume! Great work.

Yaaaay, luuuuume! 😄 And kudos for the formula to measure and compare it, really nice job.

Great vid and eye opening. Thanks.

Great video Dave! You've set the bar.

AWESOME! And why your channel is my favorite!

Beauty, way to go Dave. You really made this lume freak's day with this one.... TQ

Dave, this is the absolute best of the best lume videos I have seen, and some real science behind it, absolutely amazing bro, this one is untouchable, seriously amazing video m8!!! Wow blown away

Great stuff Dave. This is a really clever way of measuring/comparing the lume 👏👏👏

Wow! what a great job.. Thank you Dave for putting all that work in. I would love to see the "J-Score" for the Phoibos Great Wall.

Dave, this is perfect. Love it! Great job!!!!!

Love it Dave. You took it to the next level. Great job !!!!!

Best, most thorough lume comparison I've seen.

Awesome video. I'm really enjoying your channel. Best of luck :)

Great video man! I enjoyed this new ranking system

Interesting. Like this lume comparison video

Love the music dude. I haven’t been watching too many videos lately. I’ve been super busy with my new business but I’ve found some time to binge watch some vids

Amazing work Dave 👏

Been looking forward to this ever since you teased it on Collection Conundrum, and very well done. IMHO, the Axios is still the winner because the brightness of the hands is arguably more important than the brightness of the markers. Maybe I'm just biased though, because I love my own Ironclad to bits.

Very good video. You go well beyond the others watch channels to inform the watch community about them. Thanks.

Yes, a good idea- easy to understand and makes sense to have a standard. Good work Dave, Thanks mate 👍🏻👍🏻

I can't imagine the time you put in to this video. So well done. 👏

Great vid Dave very interesting thanks

Dudes good work!! Thx

Good work Dave 👍

Well done Dave!

Great work on all this 👍🏻 I do love the lume battles and testing my own watches to see which is my brightest. Looks like you are ready to show where lumicast stacks up from Wicked Watch Co. Future releases.

This is definitely the best lume wars review one seen so far 👍

Well done, Dave!

Great video! Smart way to do a lume test.

Dave your idea is ingenious. Thanks for making great videos and "brightening" the watch enthusiasts community.

I really appreciate the time and effort it took to put this one together Dave! Excellent overview and comparison. I am personally starting to prefer the blue over the greenish hued lumes on offer. I got a Steeldive with the blue lume and it seems to be at least as good and maybe initially brighter than my Seiko Samurai. I have a couple watches from the 1970's that still glow with a charge, but they fade pretty fast. I also just got an old Rolex field watch that doesn't glow at all any more, but I do know it will be radioactive for 1600 more years. That 80 year old watch has a scant 24 hour power reserve, hand wind only- but it keeps excellent time.

What an ambitious comparison test! 'Very cool.

Watch of the month club, Collection Conundrum and now this enhanced lume battle, Dave really has some original content, nice work mate :)

Beatiful rewiew great job!

Great lume test...now we have a new scale for rating...I like it

Fantastic, congrats!!

Good job Dave, good job!

The ultimate lume test in the relatively-affordable category! 👏🏼

That was great, happy to see a more empirical approach taken to this compared to what other KZfaqrs do.

Well done Dave! 👏👊

This test has set the standard for Lume testing. Great job young man.

Fantastic video. Would love to see the same video but with either higher end models or more common models.

Wow! You really brightened my day by shining a light on an element of watchdom that sadly, is too often a dark spot in the design and execution of many otherwise shining watch brands. Very illuminating video!

Great video! I suggest you tryout the Helm Khuraburi and Signum full lume dial watches.

Mate great video I am heavily influenced by watch line when purchasing a watch 👍

Hey Dave, love your channel, the way you do things, your attitude and modest personality are just so ahem, watchable and pleasant. And this was a great idea! You really got me thinking about the science of it now. Can we know your charging procedure? Do you know how long it takes in normal sunlight to maximally charge a deeply multilayered hand or index? I wonder if grow lights would be the best imitators of sunlight. I wonder if you have already bought a few extra of whatever model lightsource you've been using to keep it consistent now that you've got your formula down. Do you estimate from your research that you're probably getting them about as charged as they can be gotten? I wonder because what if the most layered applications take the longest to charge the bottom layers, but will then last the longest (or just start off the brightest) if you do... So many good questions now dancing through my mind. Like: what is the term for point brightness? Is it lumosity? Or luminosity? What if you also measured the total light emitted and threw in some fully lumed dials with their crazy "torch" effect - not hard to win a total-light-emitted contest when you lume the whole dial (and maybe even a bunch of the bezel). For me, the best tests would ultimately be functional: charge the heck out of 'em and come back at intervals through the night and tell us which ones you can read the best easiest longest with the least squinting. Haha: scientific subjectivity!

Great Job! What a guy 😀

A great idea! Have you tried a log scale on the score axis? It might highlight the differences in the "high time" part of the graph, which is where the attention is.

Another great vid dave and sorry to f with your mind but when you had the watches together at the end comparing hand lume everytime i paused and looked the orient looked the brightest. Im glad bcause i have the triton and its my best lumed watch.

My inner math nerd LOVES this video! Dave, this is impressive work. It really is. Well done, sir!

Great content

I'm confused with your scoring system but I'll take your word . Thanks for the video !

You have set the benchmark for testing 👌

Great video

Excellent Work! Boggles the mind that your video has not garnered more views so far. Do you have plans to test the Citizen BN0150? It won Jody's Lumewars 4 beating Seikos and Rolex. Would be very interesting to see how Citizen's blue lume stacks up against the competitors. And being a sub 200 Dollar watch it would sure fit your channel profile. All the best, keep up the great work!

Great video. I personally LOVE BGW9, so I don't care which place it comes in.

Fantastic work, really impressive and long over due. Stuff like this is what sets your channel apart and above others. I am curious if you'll consider getting a tritium lume'd watch and using that as the base line instead of the sieko?

Best lume video so far.

That's a lot of work and very interesting. How many pixels are you averaging?

Great idea

Great review. Please find and test lume of WISE HITMAN Thailand watch.

Now that's how you get a blind, video unseen subscription. Your title and thumbnail game are going to take this channel to the top! Note: Great video, love the RGB ranking concept. At 09:07 however, Boldr "looks" like a legit 5th if not 6th place.

First of all Amazing video. No one has done this before! If possible we would like more of this content. That being said, the Seiko marinemaster lume is brighter and more long lasting than that samurai as the Samurai is not a high end seiko so they don't do their best on those models. Probably the same case with an Orient saturation diver.

Super job. Very original. Luminosity is extremely important to me in a watch and I will look forward in the future to see what their J-Scores are! I am really interested in finding out the J-Score of a watch with tritium tubes.

While I suspect our Starlight model might fare poorly in any lume battle 😂 I look forward to putting our Equinox entrant into the ring (which while uses BGW9 for some parts, has X1 C3 for the key diver portions 😁). Nice scientific look at lume Dave!

Awesome work! I've wondered what your process was. What's your standardized process for charging the lume?

well done!

Awesome!

i smell a series, one that i will subscribe to anytime, perhaps you can throw in a tritium watch as a control sample

I loved the sistem you used, it's something new and pretty amazing An alternative way of score could be measuring the are below the curve, that way you could measure the ligth given through the length of the 70 minutes, that using the work you have already done, I would like to help with the math background (if you like)

Love the content. Please do an Ali express lume battle Edition. Peace Out.

Can’t wait to see the score for the HELM Khuriburi

Hey there, do you know if it’s possible to purchase Super Luminova paint? Thanks! 😊

Hey Dave, You may have just set the new standard for all watch channels by which they measure lume. You may have to patent your new formula..lol! Cheers from a subscriber in Nova Scotia. M

I’m considering a tritium watch for my collection, it’d be great to hear your research on them.😎👍

Did not expect the Orient to beat the samurai.. Cool

I have the axios ironclad with the white dial and i can find my way in the dark with it. Not really but with the whole dial glowing it is very bright.
