For the record, that is not true (EDIT) of ANY of the brands I buy or have bought in many years. Eagtac specifies an 'LED' number, but only right next to the FL1 OTF spec. I have no published 'LED' output number for any other lights I own (that I can think of). There's no such thing as an FL1-compliant 'LED' output spec for a flashlight.Now industry standard with most brands is to report lumens numbers at the emitter, not Out The Front.
Legitimately hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I'm very familiar with Eagtac's offerings. While I do love certain features on their higher output rated lights, there is no way they are reporting accurate numbers for output. That's clear when I take SureFire or Streamlight models rated at significantly less lumens than what Eagtac advertises, and the difference with my naked eye is blatantly clear. With the SF or SL models being significantly brighter. (I'm talking same beam profile too. Not one with SF or SL having a concentrated hot-spot that tricks the human eye into thinking the output is brighter.)For the record, that is not true (EDIT) of ANY of the brands I buy or have bought in many years.

I'm sorry, but Rolex hasn't been a Tool Watch brand since around the end of the 1970s. If we're talking digital, G-Shock. Analog, Marathon. Two best Tool Watch brands in existence today.My logic is that Rolex is/was a work watch and assumed by people that know not of better watches to be the best. The same thing was the case with Maglite. It was much more than an Eveready or similiar and thought to be the best preSurefire.
I see no "bad news" in your post.Legitimately hate to be the bearer of bad news
Who are some of those "most brands"?Now industry standard with most brands is to report lumens numbers at the emitter, not Out The Front.

Marathon's entire line-up are winners as Tool watches.GSAR?
Ok i looked it up.
Getting OT here, but I really like the new SS Navigator auto. Were I buying today, I'd seriously consider it as it wears a lot less chunky than the GSAR and relatives. But, I've purchased two "new" (one actually 1974, one late 60s) watches in the last couple years so I really can't justify it.Marathon's entire line-up are winners as Tool watches.
No, that question has already been answered. 😉Is this now the "what's still a proper tool watch" thread?
