By Phil from New Jersey on 06/23/2009 Pros: Adjustable Watchband, Good Quality, Looks Nice, Stylish Describe Yourself: High End Shopper, Pilot, Practical, Stylish Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: The battery was DOA on the first watch I ordered, then the replacement watch arrived, and that battery was dead as well! I gave up and went with a Casio Wave-Ceptor WVA-M240DE-1BVER, as it meets my occupational needs.
Good value. Nice looking. Accurate By Tim the rower from San Jose, CA on 06/14/2009 Pros: Easy to read, Extra features, Good Quality, Reliable, Stylish Describe Yourself: Athletic, Classic, Practical Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I have observed the same problem in other Luminox watches: their second hands don't line up with the indices in parts of the dial. It's not a major problem--just noticeable to sticklers like some of us. But the price is an excellent value, especially when compared to other tritium-vial watches. Handsome looks, sturdy case and incredible readability in low- or no-light conditions. The 24-hour hand is a nice extra feature. There are double tritium indicators at 12 o'clock which makes it even easier to read. So far, after a few weeks, the timekeeping is top notch: less than a second fast.
not what its cracked up to be By fred from newton ma on 06/10/2009 Cons: First watch got water in, Unreliable Best Uses: Everyday, Formal, Sports Describe Yourself: Athletic, Practical Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I like it for water sport and diving, 100m not 200m

I bought one for my friend and hope he doesnt have similar issues
I ve sent the first back and a new one was replaced promptly but the second came to me nonfunctional , just sent it back we will see
Pretty good when compared. By Tim the rower from San Jose, CA on 06/10/2009 Pros: Easy To Read, Good Quality, Reliable, Stylish Describe Yourself: Athletic, Classic, Modern, Practical Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: As others have commented on the Luminox watches, mine had poor alignment of the second hand to the the indices. It's a sign of poor quality but it is not important to me for this watch. The accuracy of the timekeeping is excellent after about two weeks: no change compared to radio-controlled clock. Visibility's incredible. Essentially the same price as a plastic body Marathon with tritium vials but looks a lot better. The blue dial is striking and handsome. I replaced the stainless bracelet with a leather strap so I can't comment on the bracelet's functionality, but the bracelet looks like excellent quality. It has 20 mm strap width at the horns. Many of us would expect a screw-down crown in a watch like this--not present. However it may keep watertight just as well without screwing down if it is precisely built. I haven't tested it with a wet challenge beyond washing dishes, however.
By Redwing from Jackson, MI on 06/03/2009 Pros: Good Quality, Very Accurate Cons: Crown somtimes unlocks Best Uses: Everyday, Formal, Sports Describe Yourself: Practical Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I wear it everyday. It seemed heavy at first, but after a day or two I didn't even notice. Very well made, accurate, and easy to set. My only complaint is the crown has sometimes opened, inadvertently changing the date.
By frogspit from rochester NY on 05/25/2009 Pros: Adjustable Watchband, Good Quality, Stylish Cons: Hands are very similar, Heavy Best Uses: Everyday, Sports Describe Yourself: Athletic, Practical Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: At a quick glance it is hard to tell the difference between the hour and minute hand.
By Ironman from Colorado on 05/11/2009 Pros: Easy To Read, Good Quality, Reliable, Sapphire crystal Best Uses: Everyday, Travel Describe Yourself: Athletic, Classic, High End Shopper, Practical, Stylish Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I put an Italian rubber strap on it and like it even more. I'm not crazy about the original metal band. I love watches in general and haven't seen a Luminox at this price before. The sapphire crystal is also a big bonus as most have a mineral crystal which can scratch more easily.
By florida surfer from florida,gulf coast on 05/08/2009 Pros: Easy To Read, Good Quality, Reliable, Stylish Best Uses: Everyday, Travel Describe Yourself: Classic, High End Shopper, Modern, Practical, Stylish Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: this watch is great,always wanted one.found same watch on internet for 600.00 to 450.00,thanks stp
By JustRay from Desert, Idaho on 04/30/2009 Pros: Easy To Read, Good Quality, Stylish Describe Yourself: Practical Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I had been looking for a watch with good luminescence (but didn't want an Indiglo) when I got this watch as a gift. It was just what I wanted and was immidiately pleased.
I love the stainless steel case and band and the clasp is solid. I love the simple and clear hour indicators, and with the bright luminescent capsules it is easy to ready any time of day, and the 24-hour hand is handy feature for me. The stops on the rotating bezel coincide with the hour and minute marks precicely, which show that this is a well-made, well thought-out device.
A side story: I wore the watch for about three weeks until it ingested some water during a hotsprings soak, and I have no idea why. I tried to dry it out but it quit after a week. I went to the LumiNox website to check out their warranty policies and when I read how stringent and particular they are I was not optimistic that I would get my new favorite watch fixed without a lot more cash.
I took my dead watch and all the paperwork to the Meridian store and they exchanged it without question. There wasn't one in stock but they ordered me a brand new one and it was on my wrist in three days. STP Rocks!
By ScotSwede Guy from Cincinnati, OH on 04/28/2009 Pros: Easy To Read, Good Quality, Reliable, Stylish Best Uses: Everyday, Travel Describe Yourself: Athletic, Classic, Modern, Stylish Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Built like a bank vault. The gas powered illumination feature on the watch is amazing.
