Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Actually I don't hate the watch, it was a fine watch for the three years I owned it.Easy to read, great illumination, accurate, and that saphire crystal never scratched in spite of being worn 24-7, including doing ranch work.I loved it.
But here's the other shoe dropping.Last week the watch leaked water in a hotel swimming pool (visible water drops on the inside of the crystal, though I'm paranoid about screwing the crown in tight after time-zone changes, etc.,) and quit running. The date number had rusted over by the next day.
Make your own judgement, but in my mind there's no excuse - period - for a $360 watch, whose maker brags about ten-year illumination life and says the watch is good for 200 meter dives, leaking in three years on a shallow water swim.
You sail or sink on your name, Luminox.If I wanted a three year, water "resistant" wading-pool watch, I'd have done Timex for under $100.The way I see it, you owe me about $260 for the six more years I didn't get to use my ... Lemonox.

Product Description:
Be prepared to tackle any task with durable, stylish Luminox Ultimate Navy SEAL Dive Watch for men, which features the vaunted Luminox self-powered illumination system. This watch's hands and dial markers glow 100 times brighter than other luminous watches and will provide continuous illumination for more than 25 years. It is water resistant to 200 meters (20 ATM, 660 feet), which is suitable for recreational scuba diving. The large-sized stainless steel watch case (measuring 1.75 inches wide and 0.5 inches deep) is topped by a ratcheting, unidirectional rotating bezel with engraved elapsed time markers and knurled textured accents for an improved grip.
The black dial face is accented by easily readable Arabic numeral markers in white (with inset 24-hour marks), white baton hands (with seconds hand), and a date function at 3 o'clock. It's completed by a silver stainless steel bracelet band with knurled texturing and an extender for use over a wet suit. Other features include a lithium battery with 10-year battery life, highly scratch-resistant glass crystal with double anti-reflective coating, and multi-jeweled Swiss quartz watch movement. It's backed by a 1-year Luminox warranty.
Luminox Self-Powered Illumination System
Each Luminox watch employs tiny self-powered micro gas lights (borosilicate glass capsules), which are firmly embedded in the hands and the hour indicators on the watch face (as well as on the turning ring of diver's watches). Luminox watches need no external light source to "charge" the paint on the dial or hands in order to glow as do conventional luminous watches, nor do they require a push of a button to light the dial as do electro luminescent watches.
About Luminox
Luminox combines the finest tradition and precision of Swiss watchmaking with the durability demanded by US armed forces and the latest innovations in timepiece technology. The company pioneered the development of small, individual luminescent tracer lamps and was contacted by the U.S. Navy SEAL teams to build a dive watch for their use on night missions. After their popularity in the Navy grew, the Air Force asked Luminox to develop a watch specifically for F-117 Nighthawk Stealth pilots.
