| I'm a fireman. I need a watch that will perform under the WORST possible conditions you can imagine and still function. This watch is self-illuminating, has large readable numbers, and will function in all conditions. This is actually the 2nd one I bought. The first was commandeered by my son, a computer techie/hacker/gamer. He thought "It was cool". Nuff' said. |
Rugged, nightlight

I bought this as my new daily. I have not been disappointed. Very nice rugged, good looks. I have the 3051 which is White on Black, making the hand extremely legible during the day and a quick glances. The tritium viles do a good job of being visable as light sources become scarce. In total darkness its a gem, distinguished by a orange 12 o'clock marker and green minute/hour/second hands. It also has a green marker on the bezel at "0".
Albeit being very light and a comfortable wear I am always aware it is on my arm. The crystal is not very well protected but the bezel does add plenty protection from side impacts. The rubberized band that comes with it eventually molds to the wearer. I will swap it for a Zulu strap, although I am in no hurry to do so.
The good but not great about the watch. The crown is not screw down which seems odd to me with a watch this capable. From what info I could find on the internet I believed I was going to get colored hands. Blue and Green to be exact. Maybe I have an older model but for the price I couldn't justify the "gimick". The poly/plastic maybe tough, I will find out with continued wear, but it does look like... plastic.
I am completley satisfied with my purchase at the price. I may have prefered another color and may add another down the road. The watch is damn good. With that said. This watch truely shine when the lights go out. Buy One. |
I love my luminox.

Since I only weigh 146lbs. I was planning to buy the smaller model. But I ended up buying this larger one because I think it looks a little better. The other more expensive Luminox models have better features and look better, but they do cost a lot more.
This watch is a lot lighter and feels way stronger than I expected.
The self powered illumination works great at night, it's perfect. But it's not overly bright so don't worry it doesn't look like some glow in the dark toy!
If you're looking for a nice simple and durable watch, I fully recommend this watch. Or if you want to spend more money try any of the higher end Luminox watches. |
Great Watch

This is my first Luminox watch, and I received it today..I can say that this is an incredible excellent and good looking watch,..It is huge though, but I dont care, cause it makes me look stronger, I waited till the night came and just got amaze about how bright the Tritium stuff is,, I mean, its not even compared to the regular normal watches that has the marker printed or painted and has to be charged by any kind of light, I mean, I can be at a no-light or a bit light that still I can be able to read it all.
The watch is so light weight that I couldnt believe it, I just put it on and was as light as a plastic (and smaller) watch, the reason is that its made of Case Material-carbon reinforced polymer injection molded case.
The craftmanship is excellent..the bezel rotates just to the left, which is great. The strap is very big, you'll get used to it very quickly though. The watch comes with a Crown-double gasket push in crown, Crystal-tempered scratch resistant mineral crystal, Caseback-Black carbon reinforced case back secured with stainless steel screws, and I mean, youll never get tired of seeing it.
Dont have to mention that is a 660ft/200mts Water Resistant Watch, which makes it perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and a few bunch of stuff more (just make sure that the crown is closed). Seriously, its is extremely light weight, it doesnt look like but, yeah.
And the best of it is that I get it for $150 on Amazon..this watch is $295 retail. Since I saw the brand, in a magazine, I just wanted one for me, I just search online and find it very ''cheap'' for its original price so I just went for it. If you want to get a watch for years, this is the right watch. I am a very active teenager, (18) that loves to hike, swim and bike a lot, this is a great watch for outdoorsmen. Again, its huge, It doesnt look like a very strong watch, but, it really is.
Hope this review helped you. |
Great Watch with Quality Craftsmanship

This is a great watch. It is heavy and the band has two straps to retain the extra slack, which is a big plus. The brightness of the markers in the hour positions is top notch, and the fact that they don't have to be "charged" with sunlight makes them that much better. The price of the watch is definitely justified; I can tell this watch is built tough and will last years to come. The only downside is that apparently the brightness of the chambers lags or fades after 10 years, and I have a feeling that the watch will last much longer than that. Hopefully Luminox will provide some type of program to replace the chambers for a small fee if and when they finally do lose their glow.
I would highly recommend this watch. I own Rolex watches, Casios, Tag, and a couple of Swiss Army watches, and for non "formal" occasions, this watch is the one I wear. |
Very Nice Watch

| I've had this watch for nearly two months, and worn it most of that time. So far I am very pleased with the quality of the watch. It is a big watch, both face diameter and thickness, yet surprisingly light weight. Accuracy has been spot on. The watch has been knocked around, and no signs of any damage or marks. My newphew has a birthday coming up, and I am giving serious thought to getting him this watch |
Love this watch!

| This is a great watch! love that it glows throughout the entire night. Would be really handy if/when the power goes out, or while camping. At first I thought the face might be too big for my fiancé's wrist, but it looks great on him. He loves it! |
Great watch, Unbeatable price.

| This is my third Luminox watch. They don't break I just like to have the newest watch out there. The night time illumination is incredible. As a Paramedic it is essential to have a durable watch that you can see in the dark and these fit the bill. The EVO series has a larger face and is easier to read. It also has a double insert tang to keep it on the band better and the band is wider. The band appears more durable than the Navy Seals series. |
