Does anybody know anything about these Nite Watches - Nite MX30, MX40 & GX40, that are Heinnie Hayes’ offer of the week?

They look like a good buy if they’re any good

Not sure what you want really. Tritium illumination is nice, spec looks OK though I wouldn't go swimming in one. Aside from that it's a mass market quartz. Looks nice enough, and if you like it then buy it.... Personally I prefer manual wind vintage watches, but thats just me! :)

I have a Traser which uses the same technology for the luminocity, hands and batons. It is my 'outdoor' beater watch of choice. Its light, easy to read in all weathers and takes a knock.

Would prefer analog and spotted this for £45:

My current timepiece is a Seiko automatic powered by their proprietary 72s6a movement.

My beater used to be a Vostok Amphibia. Ask Leon-B how tough Russian watches are.

Hi Miggers,

I’ve always fancied a Traser, but could never justify the cost of a nice watch to myself. I was more taken by the price of these, at £111 off my bargain gene kicked in!

I’m looking for someone who has one to let me know if they are worth the original price and so are a real bargain.

Thanks for the suggestion of the analog at £45, looks like the old issue watch that I never managed to get out of stores!

Thanks for your help,

AJB
