Please note, however, Lumibrite emits the light it stores, the luminance level of the light decreases gradually over time. The duration of the emitted light may also differ slightly depending on such factors as the brightness of the place where the watch is exposed to light and the distance from the light source to the watch.
※In general, when you enter a dark place from a bright environment, your eye cannot adapt to the change in light levels quickly. At first, you can hardly see anything, but as time passes, your vision gradually improves. (Dark adaptation of the human eye)
