Watermelon Ball LIT
Best overall night pool game — The glow-in-the-dark version of the classic underwater watermelon passing game. It charges under any light and glows through an evening swim, with nothing to recharge or replace. Neutrally weighted so it sinks and hovers, so you pass and chase it underwater. The most-loved night pool game here.

Pros
- A deep, well-loved base — 4.5★ across 10,120 ratings (listing-wide); the TOSY flying ring on this page is deeper still at 17,557
- Glow needs no batteries — charge it under a lamp and it's ready

Cons
- The glow is a soft charge-and-fade, not a bright LED — it dims over a long swim and needs re-charging under light
- One 9-inch ball, not a multi-toy set
The light stops working early, sometimes inside a week - and the light is the entire reason to pay more for the LIT version over the plain ball. It is also heavy when filled and needs a pump that is not included.
2 of the first 10 critical cards (of 233) are the light failing, and one says outright to buy the regular ball instead; the rest are weight and the missing pump · critical reviews read August 2026

Record
- — Watermelon Ball LLC is a real maker with a real site, and it lists the LIT model — but publishes no warranty. The FAQ and warranty pages carry nothing. An absence with a maker behind it is a different fact from an absence with no maker at all.
- — Critical pass, and it goes at the reason this model exists: the light stops working early, sometimes inside a week. The light is the entire premium over the plain Watermelon Ball. It is also heavy enough that owners mention it. Base now pooled at 4.5 across 10,120.
- — Rating count corrected to the listing-wide figure and it moved the other way from usual: 626 became 10,090. The variant we had been reading was a slice of a much deeper pool.
