wrist watch problem: iluminous dials on watch only glow for 10mins?

by Admin on November 20, 2009

Hello,
I have a tissot PR50 quartz that I bought 23 months ago and I have noticed that the dials and dots only glow for 15mins in the dark, i hear that the half life of this radioactive substance is about 10 years so have tissot used old paint?
Is this covered under the 1 month of warenty i have left, will it need replacing or could it be repainted?

Thanks

It doesn’t fade, your eyes just get used to it, like the dark, if you put it near a light for a few seconds ( like a lamp) it charges and you can see the glow really brightly.
