Casio Neon-Illuminator?

[JonlyBonly]

So I recently purchased this MTG-520 g-shock:

but having had Casio Telememo digitals for years, I was not expecting the Neon-Illumniator backlight.

I'm still undecided about whether or not I like it/find it practical.

If you haven't seen it, "the MTG-520 employs the new CASIO-exclusive Neon Illuminator that uses back light LEDs to illuminate special paint on the hands and display markings."

so the hands and markings light up like Flourescent paint under a blacklight bulb.

anyone have any experience with this watch or Neon Illuminator feature?

thanks.


btw, my local Costco had them for $49.95 so I'm guessing the price was a good deal...
