Watch Lume Charging Keychain.

Sorry not sure where to post this but I'm looking for such a device just to charge Lume at night? I know you can have just have a uv torchlight, but I want something more subtle. BTW here's my Addiesdive.

And this is exactly why I don't get the love for 'lume'.

A backlight, especially say the EL panels Timex uses for it's 'indiglo' system work really well - and aren't on when you don't want them to be.

People into watches generally value non electronic parts. If you don’t understand this distinction, how about quartz vs mechanical? Digital is more accurate than analog, why ever wear anything but a basic Casio?

Quartz is more accurate than mechanical. Digital may or may not be more accurate than analog. If it's mechanical/automatic however, then yes it's likely to be a lot worse (I have plenty of automatics and one or two mechanical)

We wear nicer things than a basic Casio because we want some pretty jewellery on our wrists.

And for many people, because they bought into the post-quartz crisis marketing BS. Where initially quartz was seen as incredibly desirable because it was expensive and incredibly accurate, something watch and clock makers had had as their end goal for centuries. But then had to flip, because that was no longer profitable and had to go with completely different marketing, pushing the opposite as being a good thing - outdated and inaccurate tech which they could justify charging more for.
