LightshipYou may never have heard of a lightship. Once, lightships anchored on waters across America, on the oceans and in the Great Lakes, floating where lighthouses could not be built. Smaller than most ships, but more steadfast, too, they held their spots, through calm and storm, to guide sailors toward safe waters.

You may never haveheard of a lightship. Once, lightships
anchored on waters
across America,
on the oceans
and in the Great Lakes,
floating where lighthouses
could not be built.
Smaller than most ships,
but more steadfast, too,
they held their spots,
through calm and storm,
to guide sailors
toward safe waters. In these pages
one lightship
and her crew (and cat)
again hold their place.
The crew goes
again from bow to stern,
from keel to mast,
to run their engines,
shine their lights,
and sound their horns. They run the small ship
that guides the large ships.
They are the crew (and cat)
that work to make the ocean safe,
that hold their place,
so other ships can sail. Come aboard

I design flaw caused me to return it.
Color: Brown/Blue
Pros:
- Perfect case size.
- Sapphire crystal.
- Solar powered quartz.
- Large dial face
- Minute and second hands reach to minute track for precise reading.
- Great field watch design and proportions.
- Effective lume on hands.
Cons:
- Lume on small triangular hour markers is useless, and fades quickly.
- The hour numbers are not luminous.
- The dull peach color chosen for the hour markers, numbers and hands in dim lighting is very dull and thus hard to read.
- The dark blue color chosen for the dial is a dull hue that doesn’t really look blue, but just reduces the contrast between text and markers.
- A black dial and bright white markers and numbers would make the watch much more legible/ readable, and would look much better aesthetically. It is a shame that these choices were made on an otherwise perfect design.
- I was really excited that Timex finally seemed to get it when they came out with this series of models, but then they handicapped it with a dial that is only useable in bright light. What a shame.
I am returning the watch.
