Not so much a problem to pilots and engineers but the people who put the instruments together had problems, yes.
And yes, your watch, if luminous, is radioactive but probably uses tritium rather than radium, and is far less a worry as a result. The radioactivity is contained by the watch itself; even the clear face is thick enough to be a barrier.
