I need some kind of watch for when I'm out in the woods. I would just get a regular watch, but having stuff on my wrist drives me crazy. So what's a half decent pocket watch with glow in the dark hands? I've found some with light up faces, but I would rather just have the glowing hands so it won't be as bright when I'm hunting. And it seems like most of the ones I've found are either really nice and engraved, or some kind of steampunk watch.  I just need a regular one with a decent battery life and light up hands, nothing fancy.

Basically like this.



I found one on Amazon that's basically what I want, says it's a Dueber, don't know if it's any good or not.

Casio G-Shock and about one foot of 550 cord ought to do it.
Remove the rubber strap completely from the 6 o'clock side of the watch.
Cut the band off to about 1" long on the 12 o'clock side.
Punch a 1/4" hole in the band and tie the 550 cord to it.
Voila! rugged, accurate, glowy pocket watch.

Apparently it's a popular idea

Put one on a MARPAT nylon base with a 550 cord leash and a small titanium carabiner clip... Shit... did I just come up with a business idea?
