@famfo: *mentions mechanical watches*

me: time to buy a mechanical watch!

(I have just recieved a mechanical watch. It is old and I just tested it for radioactivity, and got about 3x background radiation (in counts at least, I couldn't measure what kind))

@Rentin @famfo put some paper between it, if it stops it's alpha radiation :P

@noiob well, there's a watch glass, which should be acrylic, and probably block alpha radiation as well.

@Rentin do the digits still glow?
