The best feature of Traser watches is that they are guided by permanent light technology and hence are easily seen even in the dark. This makes them very popular among the military and Traser even offers them a special discount. Whenever you are looking to buy one of the designer watches then there are two things that you should take into account. The first thing is the name if the manufacturer and whether it is reliable. The other is the number of awards it might have received for providing the best products all through its business years. The number of awards received speaks for itself and people will automatically buy the product with that name. Seiko watches are one such product.The main issue with watches is their nighttime visibility. If luminous paint is used it needs to be charged either by a source of light like the sun. This may last for only about 20 minutes when it may start to get dim. An alternative for this could be the backlighting powered by battery but then again, the battery would be drained too soon. A new alternative that is available is the tritium gas which is extremely safe. This light source shines for a long period of time like 20 or more years, Traser watches make use of this feature. Seiko watches have won numerous awards. Some of them include the Grand Prix in 1990 at the Prix de la Ville de Gen��ve and the IEEE Milestone Award in 2004 for their Seiko Quarts Astron.The Traser watches are in great demand among the special forces like the Rangers, SBS, SAS and the French Foreign Legion. They make use of a low level radiation to glow and hence do not depend on a light charge or battery power. It is among the leading brands of designer watches. Other people among whom the Traser watches are very popular are outdoor people like hunters, fishermen and even the police and security personnel although aimed primarily at the military market.Besides the many awards that Seiko watches have received, Seiko watch manufacturers have gone along way. They have come out with the most innovative watches well ahead of any other manufacturer and over the years, they continue to design more and more watches to suit the requirements of their ever growing list of clients.Traser watches are more popular than with their female counterparts but there are a few women who might opt for these. Professionals like sports people, actors, teachers and executives might prefer the Seiko watches. Other designer watches that are available include the Superdry watches, Baume & Mercier watches, Oris watches, Suunto watches, Bell & Ross watches, Armani watches, Maurice Lacroix watches, Mondaine watches, Nixon watches and Raymond Weil watches.

TweetEmailIf you're a Seiko fan, then you've probably heard of the Seiko OrangeMonster. It's a must-have for all Seiko collectors. And if you're areal Seiko diver fanatic, you might even have the Seiko Yellow or BlackMonsters, as well. But now, there's a new monster to add toyour collect: the Seiko Blue Monster.The Seiko Blue Monster (Ref. SKZ213K1) is a beautiful, limitededition piece. Features include:Thick, brushed stainlesssteel case.Domed sapphire crystal.Uni-directional rotatingbezel.Screw-down caseback.Water-resistant to 200meters, or about 650 feet.Screw-down crown (at the fouro'clock position).Luminescent hands and hourmarkers.Automatic movement (23jewels).Double folding safety claspwith diver's extension (to fitover a wet suit).I have the Orange Monster myself, and it's a great watch witha very robust feel. They have a reputation for being high-qualityautomatic watches sold at a reasonable price, and for having unusuallybright luminescent hands and hour markers. Seiko uses a material calledLumibrite which is very effective, especially on hands as wide as thosefound on the monster series.As far as I can tell, the primary differences between the newlimited edition Blue Monster and the Orange, Yellow, and Black Monstersare:The Blue Monster has a newermovement: the 7S36 rather thanthe 7S26. Both movements have the same features (quick-set day anddate, no hacking, and no manual winding), but the 7S36 has two morejewels, which leads me to believe it's slightly more refined.The Blue Monster has a domedsapphire crystal rather thanthe Hardlex crystal of the Orange, Yellow, and Black models. Hardlexis, well, harder, meaning it is less prone to cracking or shattering,but sapphire is far more scratch-resistant. Given the choice, I'dprobably go for the sapphire.The Blue Monster willprobably run you $100 to $200 morethan its more pedestrian siblings.If you're interested in one of these, you'll have to do somedigging around the Internet to find one, or take a watch-buying trip toJapan.  I would expect it to run you between $300and $400.Update: I was recently informed that the Yellow Monster actually can't be grouped together with the Orange and Black Monsters. The Yellow Monster is a limited edition, as well, and also has a sapphire crystal, a slightly different movement, a cyclops over the date, and a couple other unique features.
