Why are tritium watches illegal?
Tritium watches are not universally illegal, but their sale and distribution can be restricted in certain countries due to safety concerns. Tritium is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen used to illuminate watch dials, and while it emits low levels of radiation, regulations may limit its use to ensure public health and safety. Additionally, some jurisdictions may impose strict guidelines on the handling and disposal of radioactive materials, impacting the legality of tritium watches.
How is the radioisotope tritium used?
as boost gas in hollow core variable yield fission bombswith deuterium as fuel for cryogenic liquid fueled fusion bombswith deuterium as boost gas mix in sealed hollow core high efficiency fission bombs or fission triggers for fusion bombsin electric pulse neutron sourcesas a radioisotope tracer for hydrogen in moleculesin sealed ampules in some "glow in the dark" watches and instruments to make a phosphor glow so the display is visible (sort of a "safer" replacement for radium)in neon lamps and signs to help them start faster and more consistentlyetc.
What is tritium emits?
Tritium decays by beta decay (emits high energy electron converting one neutron to a proton) resulting in Helium-3.
Why is tritium illegal in the us?
Tritium is not illegal in the US, but as with other radioisotopes it is regulated. It has many legal uses:radiochemical tracertiny amounts are used in neon lamps and signs to help them start faster and more reliablysealed ampules are used to make a phosphor glow to light watch and instrument dials ("safer" replacement for radium)electric activated neutron sources (used in petroleum and other industries)etc.
Do watch dials still use radium?
From many years radium is not used for watches (or other measuring instruments) dials.

What is Trinitium?
Trinitium is the name given to the active element of the Philosopher's Stone of Alchemists. It is a super-heavy element with atomic number Z = 126 and above since it appears to be kind of neutron condensate.
Where is a place to wear a watch?
Usually on your wrist, but people wear watch chains on their belts or in their pockets for pocket watches, they make keychain watches, armband watches, and even finger/ring watches.
What does the jewelry mark of a T (inside a triangle) on a Swiss watch stand for?
The jewelry mark of a "T" inside a triangle on a Swiss watch indicates that the watch contains tritium, a radioactive isotope used for luminous paint on watch dials and hands. Tritium provides better visibility in low light conditions and is considered safe due to its low radiation levels. This mark is often found on watches produced before the mid-2000s, as regulations surrounding the use of radioactive materials have since changed.
What are the key features of the ArmourLite Shatterproof Tritium watches?
Key features of the ArmourLite Shatterproof Tritium watches include shatterproof glass that is almost 10 times stronger than many other watches. Tritium gas ensures that the markers of each watch will remain continuously illuminated for over 20 years. One can find out more information on these watches via the official ArmourLite website.
What watch is most durable?
Luminox makes the watch that is used by the navy seals, if its good enough for them, im sure it will last a long time.

Is the child locator GPS easy to use?
After reviewing two different models of child locator GPS units I find the units to be very user friendly. The watch unit (http://www.brickhousesecurity.com/child-locator.html) can be tracked via text or web portal. The teddy bear and keychain model (http://www.brickhousesecurity.com/cl-103-brown.html) automatically sounds an alarm when the teddy bear and keychain units are too far apart.
Can atoms of an element contain different numbers of neutrons?
Absolutely. Atoms with varying neutron numbers are known as isotopes. Hydrogen has three isotopes. The first, most common is plain old hydrogen one. Heavy water is formed from deuterium, or hydrogen 2 (one proton, one neutron). Tritium (H3) is used in exit signs and watch face dials because it is radioactive, decaying by beta particle emission into helium 3. Carbon 14 is an unstable isotope of carbon 12, with a half life of about 5700 years. Uranium 235 is the isotope of uranium used to produce fissile nuclear weapons.
Do watch dials still use radium?
From many years radium is not used for watches (or other measuring instruments) dials.
