I don't mind this new lume function, but the watch itself is kinda ugly. Looks like a sports watch manufactured by DW or MVMT. I would prefer a G-Shock. And for the price of this watch, you can actually buy a very decent G-Shock, where you have a lot of functions. 579 $ just for "all time lume" and swiss quartz movement... no.

[@theopulentlife889]

I do not like even one thing about this watch...and seriously (for the creator) if you wanna feed your kid at night, is knowing the exact time and illumination really that important?? Thats just insane OCD psychosis....The design is really poor aesthetically speaking...the label is over sized and the enduro lume function is overkill and unappealing...plus PVD tends to scratch out really easy...for 100m water resistance the case is too large and makes no sense...it should have a threaded crown and 300m water resistance at least given its proportions...The price is also obnoxious, much better options out there, gonna pass on this one...

[@SimonBastien]

Seriously, for me this watch is a total joke !! The whole design is really ugly with this black bezel that is way too wide, and has no lume at all. The PAR WEBER logo is so big and ugly, and it takes all the width of the dial, at least they should have put the logo on two lines and use a smaller police for the logo. The Enduro-Lume is completely useless, give me only one good reason to have to LEDs wasting energy from a second battery all day long on daylight !? The Indiglo from Timex or backlight from G-Shock are much better choice, it is more visible when you really need it. They could have used a fully lumed dial and it would have been already a better choice. If you decide to design a tool watch, than try to compare to them in utility, design and price range, because, this ridiculously expensive for what is really. They tried to go traditional design with the analog time display, but chosen a all black design that look-a-like digital watch as G-shock but that is 5 times more expensive and less useful, the choice is really not difficult here sorry !!!

@@kylestephens9593 You can get a really really good looking watch with that money, I bought an Armand Nicolet with a crazy discount from the company just by emailing them saying I loved their watches. 750 bucks I think. You can go to jomashop and go crazy with their search engine and filter by price range, movement, and go really nuts with all the variety. I bought a Tissot T-navigator for like 250 bucks. The only quartz I would ever buy is that $10k quartz from FP Journe. Even a Cartier.

[@appalachiangunman9589]

I’m not sure if I’ve ever saw a second hand on a quartz watch hit the indexes that precisely. I’m the same way as you, I can’t stand a second hand that misses the marks. Believe it or not, to this day that’s still one of my favorite things about mechanical watches.

What happens when one of the LEDs goes out? Is it repairable?

[@parweber9918]

Nick, we don't anticipate the LEDs going out for the lifetime of the watch - we expect decades of service. We've laid out the reasons on our FAQ page, but the short of it is: we are running the LEDs at trace amounts of power (less than 1/10,000th of what a standard LED is driven at) which means they are optimized to last for an extremely long time. That said, if there is ever physical damage to the illumination system, it's a replaceable part that we can swap at our workshop. Within warranty this would be free and outside it would be a nominal fee - we anticipate doing it below cost if it ever happens. $40-50 range.

[@hansain]

@@parweber9918 Fantastic. Thank you for the detailed answer!

[@parweber9918]

​@@LuciferMorningstar-eo9pn There are lots of great options out there for $70 or less - you should check out some of the Casios and Timex options with push-buton illuminators. In terms of how ow our watch is made: The only component of our watch made in Asia is the 316L steel case. The Enduro-Lume illumination system is made using a new manufacturing process here in the United States, the precision watch components are made in Switzerland, and the timepiece itself is assembled in Switzerland.

[@nukadog1969]

It's a tool watch for what, again? It's is insufficient for diving, but appears to want to be one, but the bi-directional, rotating bezel rules that out as well. So, it's not a dive watch. While I can think of a ton of other ways to use the bezel, I'm at a loss for what kind of tool watch this really is. I guess it's simply a design exercise, proof-of-concept for their patent pending illumination tech. As a tool watch guy, I can't figure out what this is really for.

[@loganholmberg2295]

The led is on 24/7 and dual batteries? Sounds like a pain in the ass. Plus leds do die and if they are on 24/7 how long will they really last? Also I don't know why you have such issues with your casios. I have 3 solar powered Protreks and I've never had issues with the batteries. I do store them in a glass topped case so maybe you keep them in the dark too much? Ive got my set to auto 3 secs and they never go below medium power reserve.

[@TheRealDrJoey]

Casio has solar watches that illuminate by rotating your wrist and looking.

[@brandonar868]

[@ErikSWE]

I knew it would be more expensive since it's a "microbrand" but my initial price guess was $150 because it looks like a MVMT watch. Love the LED:s though.

[@ncavis]

This is cool. I like the idea of not having to press a button, I would love to see it married to an automatic (the same with indiglo). Recently I have really been into tritium watches, the deep blue tritdiver and the marathon GP are awesome tool watches and anything by Ball has been great but they do have the downside of eventually dying, but all of them are under $300 (except ball) and I can feel ok replacing it after a decade of service.

[@ChildrensSongStorytimeCorner]

[@warriorpoet6441]

The bezel isn't lit. I don't see why they couldn't lume the hands even though there's the illumination. The lights seem faint and have really clear points rather than being less directional, seems they could have done something about that. I'll pass on this one. The Par Weber logo is WAY too big.

[@NonyaDamnbusiness]

Kudos on nailing the quartz movement lining up with the chapter ring seconds indices. Very hard to do that properly and only my Casio Oceanus S100, and Casio Duro line up perfectly (and I suspect the Duro is a one-off in that respect). I also like how they've separated the light battery from the movement battery, which is probably why it's 14mm thick. NOT suitable for military environments as the ever-present lighting on it will interfere with NVS ("nods") as well as noise/light discipline in deployed environments but perfect for work anywhere else. I think this is more or less a tech demo for their Enduro-Lume tech, which if he's patented it and it is proven to glow constantly over the next 3 years might just get licensed by other manufacturers such as Casio, Citizen, Seiko, etc. Would have been just a bit better had there been two hatches on the rear to make it easy to replace both batteries by the end-user however there's no way he could have gotten 100m w/r on that combo. My Marathon Navigator is the new model with a battery hatch in it and it can't do 100m either. I'm interested in what the internals look like and how he arranged the two batteries. Any chance the end user could unscrew the case back off and replace them themselves, or are there additional screwed-in brackets or other things in the way of the batteries? I hope he continues to improve on this with an eye towards making it slimmer. LEDs are the way to go. I replaced all the lighting on my entire motorcycle - to include the gauge cluster - with LEDs and it was a huge improvement in visibility and bulb longevity.

[@parweber9918]

The batteries are totally user-replaceable. We are going to post a video on how to do it in the near future. In the meantime, you can check out the review on Fratello (www.fratellowatches.com/hands-on-with-the-always-illuminated-par-weber-coeficient/) for a look inside the watch and at the Enduro-Lume system itself. It shows clearly how the internals are arranged. And if you have any questions you can always hit us up at [e-mail].

But in people's minds it gives the watch a shelf life thinking the led:s may stop working more so since they never turn off. You should make the watch with and without LED's. Even though the led seems to be the reason for making the watch and starting the company. Either way, however you got here you are now a watch making company. I went to the website to buy the watch but it's was sold out at this time.

I hope that this watch / brand are successful because it’d be very cool to see future iterations of this concept and lume methodology. I actually think the watch dial, handset, and overall design is quite nice; I do however have some reservations about the size of that bezel and lack of a screw-down crown on a watch that, while it may not be designed as a pure dive watch, certainly borrows that form... Very unique however, and innovative.

[@ItsNeverTooHot4Leather]

Cool lume concept. I'd like to see in the future an enduro-lume that kicks on in the evening and throughout the night, then turns off after sunrise. And, just in case someone needs the lume during daylight hours, a small button to disable the "auto-off," thus leaving the lume on constantly like what we see here. I think this would significantly lengthen the life of the enduro-lume battery. Edit: Just to add some criticism, for $579, this should be a dive watch, with a screw-down crown, min. 200m water resistance, and a lumed unidirectional bezel (even better would be an internal bezel, illuminated by the LEDs!!!). This is a chunky watch, and the enduro-lume function would be most useful for divers.

Interesting approach. Are the 12 LEDS visibly strobing - can you see the illumination flicker e.g. when you move the watch around in the dark or are they permanently on?

[@Sean-fw1oo]

Would have been cooler if the "enduro-lume" had more modes: 1) Always On 2) Shake to Activate 3) Off, so I can choose when and how often it lights up. It would increase overall battery life much more. Would be even better if this were solar, too. I'm also not a big fan of how it looks and the price tag, but I'd like to see more watches with this enduro-lume tech.

[@cakraparindra4659]

I'd personally take the Endure Lume feature anywhere (not the watch tho). And yes this company should develop it even further for another application. Everyone's taste is different, and to like this watch as a whole needs an acquired taste I know. But I don't think we should burn the whole watch down just because we don't like it ._. We have to appreciate the originality of this watch, and who know Enduro-Lume would be recorded in the history of horology in the near future.

I think this would be nice for a field watch (or a diver), no buttons and if you had to you could just wear a watch cover and the lume would still work when you needed it. I think it would be better, though, with a screw-down crown, a prettier design and a more reasonable price.

[@kevinharrigan2727]

I REALLY like the Enduro-Lume, its certainly a great idea. A list of improvements however: 1. Price: this is probably the most obvious improvement, this damn thing costs a LOT. For the price, Seiko and many other brands beat it besides the Enduro Lume. 2. Screw down crown. If a watch is supposed to be a tool watch, it should be a screw down crown. Period. End of story. That is my personal opinion, however. An Enduro Lume diver would be incredible, and given a screw down crown, I would even argue the price would be worth it. Electroluminescence is probably the most legible lume ever, but water resistance is the one factor that keeps it out of divers, and I'd argue a diver with this would be the most legible diver ever.

[@One-op8hf]

Bruh you did not mention indiglo as much come on

[@CrimFerret]

I like that it uses a separate battery for the EL lighting. The look is kind of cool. I think the inability to turn it on and off is a downside. I seriously don't think you've gotten over the embarrassment of that Timex video involving Indiglo. Yes I want to be able to see the time in the dark if I need to. No I don't want a nightlight sitting on my night stand. No offense, but claiming 100m water resistance with a pull-out crown is just asking for trouble. Finally, there's the price. There's not a chance I'd pay that much for that watch. I don't object to quartz, but for anything in that price range, it's going to be from an established company like Seiko or Citizen or heck, Timex.

When are they releasing the next model that also looks good?

Nah, this is a real miss Jory. A dive watch with a bidirectional bezel is a recipe for disaster, but it's not as if anyone is going to going diving with this watch. I am really surprised you didn't tear this watch apart given your usual good taste and practicality.

I'm glad that company exists, but that watch is unattractive. I'm sure they'll improve their design as time goes on.
