I have been using a LUMINOX Navy Seals watch for the last five years 
with no problem.  I have it in the water all the time.  It has a 
rotating bezel.  It has tritium gas in the hour hand, minute hand, 
second hand, and for each hour.  The tritium gas glows in the dark 
without having to charge it up like the more traditional painted watch 
markings.  This makes it real nice for paddling at night.  They make a 
number of different models.  Mine cost either $200 or $300.  Cannot 
remember which.  Hope this helps.

It eventually disperses (perhaps after weeks), with no apparent effect on accuracy.  Does anyone have a recommendation for a good watch that does not do this?  Being able to submerge in shallow water 20 - 30 ft) is essential.  What I'm really looking for in addition is the ability to withstand the altitude change (say, up to 15,000) without that condensation.
