Mercer Voyager II Automatic Watch

I have the Mercer Voyager I in red; I have to say, it has a lot of issues and is one of the most disappointing watches I own. Nevertheless, judging from the comments of people who got the Voyager II, it seems Mercer ironed out the kinks from the previous model so I may join the drop this time. But how is the lume on this watch? I'm not expecting something as bright as a Seiko diver, but the lume on the Voyager I was laughable.

vhpguyI have the VII and the lume is pretty poor. Sounds like much the same as the VI.

teioh3The Voyager I was one of the first watches I ever bought; it looked good on paper, but as soon as you hold it it's easy to get a sense of the low quality. The lume is very weak. The bezel has nothing to grip and is difficult to turn and has the worst bezel play I've seen, I can move the bezel clockwise almost a full stop. The bezel pip is long gone, having been knocked out somehow despite me wearing the watch only a handful of times. The date window is more of a date cutout on the dial, there's no border on the window and the font used for the date wheel just clashes with the rest of the printing on the dial. There are other small details here and there; it wasn't all bad, I did like the stamped caseback with the sailing ship design, but on the whole I wouldn't recommend the Voyager I to anybody, even for the $300 I paid for it.

vhpguyI've bought the Voyager II last summer. The overall quality of the watch is very good. As for the lume, it's OK (but far from excellent) on hands and on bezel's triangle, but quite poor on other bezel marks and on the dial.
