sak_collector said:Yep, thats one of the nice features of the solar models. The new combo display one that I got also has that but with a twist. Instead of the standard EL display, it has two tiny LEDs, 3 and 9 o'clock. They are very bright, and in a pinch can be used in the dark to give a quick burst of light to see whats in front of you or light up a keyhole. Definately not a replacement for a flashlight, but if its all you got it works.

Mine is just like yours except that it's solar/atomic. It's funny you mention that. I was at home watching TV on the sofa and the power went out. It was PITCH BLACK. I actually used that light on the watch to navigate to the nightstand in my bedroom where I had a flashlight.
I don't like that some of the minute hashmarks are concealed and not really symetrical; it's hard to tell exactly what minute/second they are.
I like solar watches. I have about 11 watches and I think 8 of them are solar. I like the Pulsar solars the best. Great value for the money and they're pretty tough.
