I just got a Vortex last week. It's a very nice watch, but I noticed that the crystal has a lot of glare off it. I see the specs say it is glare coated on the inside of the crystal, but it doesn't seem to be very effective. Maybe it's because the crystal is domed? |

anti-reflective coating, which is a film that is applied to the crystal to reduce the reflection of light and improve the view of the dial....it does not eliminate all glare... |

Some crystals has AR coating on both sides. Making the top film scratchable... In my opinion, it's better to only have the film inside. Anyway, as is saying Oscar, a glass glare and the film just reduce the glaring to a non-blinding effect, it don't cancel it totally. If you want a glass who don't glare at all 100%, use a level 12 welding glass  |

The boys are right. The Vortex only have anti reflective inside. And it cuts off maybe 50% of the glare. If you compare it to a crystal that is not AR coated, you will see the difference. Regards Anders Dievas Uhren Technick |

Of all my watches, the one I have is the best. I do not get a sun spot inside the car for example as others will have that half dollar bright spot that my wife complains about. A new Tutima will shine like a torch. Is it possible some of the early models had more anti glare? I am not kidding, this thread surprised me... Vortex sn85 |
