Summary: Durable Imortality
Comment: I've had this watch for about ten years, got it secondhand as a kid; had to change the battery once about five years ago. It stood through the rigors of my adolescence in a crappy Los Angeles public school, sustaining minuscule scratches but no major damage throughout all the fights and good times.
Only problem I've ever had is with the bezel, though it's entirely my fault. They should be made more difficult to remove - after easily removing it during cleaning, the sumbitch escaped and now I'm left with the ugly metal and plastic pieces underneath. Oh well. I'm just going to cover them in black auto paint and get on with it.
Very fine watch, I say. Still works, keeps perfect time, it's durable as heck. Other reviewers or Luminox be damned; these people are either ultraviolent freaks or Luminox's quality has deteriorated lately.

Summary: NOt near the quality you are paying for.
Comment: Like others I have read here, I found the quality to be substandard for the price. I also found the company service to be horrid and arrogant. The band broke nearly right away and the pins come out of the softer polymer lugs. I like the look but would not and have not purchased another again.

Summary: Great Marketing - Mediocre Product
Comment: The most appealing aspect of this watch is the illumination. It's by far the best 'glow-in-the-dark' analog watch I have seen. Unfortunately, the watch is not as tough as advertised. Within two years, my watch was sent back for water in the crystal and a bezel that popped off. In addition, I find that it scratches quite easily. Do I like the watch? Yes, I'll admit it's pretty cool. However, for $150 I thought it would hold up a bit better. By comparison, my 5-year old Casio G-Shock only needed a wrist band replacement and has proven to be much tougher. However, I would still recommend the Luminox for light outdoor use. Hope this helps.

Summary: Exactly what I was looking for
Comment: I have owned a number of "sports" watches in the past, to include several versions of the G-Shock and Oakley brands. All have had their problems, most notably that they require substantial studying of the manual to learn all the functions. If what you want is a high quality no-frills sports timepiece that can take a beating, the Luminox is it. The tritium markers at the hours glow brightly at night without having to search for a button. And a great look to it as well.

Summary: You may want to try this.......
Comment: I was looking for a tough outdoor analog watch for quite some time, I even considered this model of Luminox. The rotating bezel and polyurethane case always disuaded me. I eventually went to the LL Bean web page and saw that they too sell the luminox brand. LL Bean has a 100% guarantee, no questions asked return policy ( Have not tested the guarantee, but thats what they claim ). I ended up purchacing the Higher grade LL Bean field watch which suspicously appears to be a luminox watch in a standard metal case. Have worn it non stop for three months and I am very happy.

Just my two cents.
