Luminox Men's 6203 EVO Steel SEAL Watch Review

Luminox Men's EVO Steel SEAL Watch #6203

This is a very high quality and rugged watch!The blue colored watch face is very striking and an attractive, deep color.The rubber strap is very comfortable and is long enough to fit all but the largest of wrists.
Low light or no light viewing is excellent, as expected.
The only minor thing I would change about the watch is that the lugs on the bezel at the 1,3,5,7,9 and 11 hour positions have rather sharp edges.They will tend to snag on your pockets and can scratch up things pretty good if you are not careful.
Very happy with the watch and I have already ordered another Luminox model!

This is a review for the Tawatec E.O. TWT.43.B1.11G tritium watch.I have now owned this watch for approximately two months and still enjoy wearing it everyday.It is light, comfortable, and easy to read.The watch keeps excellent time. The tritium on the hour markers and hands is bright and constant.No fading at night like superluminova.The NATO strap is very comfortable.The rotating bezel is precise with no play.The crown is located at 4 0'clock so there is no crown digging into your wrist. I did put a ZAGG invisible shield on the face of the watch to prevent scratches.The ZAGG model for the Citizen Skyhawk AT fits perfect.Great watch for the money.

I have now had this watch for 6 years and it is running like a champ. I own about 12 watches and this continues to be a favorite being worn alternately with a rolex.Keeps excellent time, durable and attractive my only complaint is the band. I am now ordering my third leather band. It is a great watch but be prepared to replace the leather. Is it worth it? Very much so, it is a very comfortable band, they just don't last forever.

Luminox EVO Navy SEAL Colormark 44mm Watch - Yellow Dial, Polyurethane Strap 3055 Review

Luminox EVO Navy SEAL Colormark 44mm Watch - Yellow Dial, Polyurethane Strap 3055
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
First, let me give a compliment to Amazon on this one.I ordered this watch with ease using the new Amazon app for the iPhone and things could not have been easier.The Amazon price was very competitive with what I had found elsewhere. Amazon had the watch delivered to me in a few days without any problems or concerns.

Now for the watch.I typically wearan older Rolex GMT Master II and I have had a Panerai 243.The Luminox is a bit thicker than a Rolex and it might fit rather snug on your wrist if you wear it with a dress shirt. More like the Panerai, the Luminox is a thick watch that looks great in a more casual or athletic setting.I bought the Luminox just to wear to the gym, but I have to say I have worn it more than my Rolex since I got it in the mail.I am sure the "new" will wear off soon, but I just love the looks of this watch. Again, it is a thick watch, but it is so light (especially compared to the Rolex) that it is hard for me to tell that it is on my wrist.The rubber strap feels great.The comfort of the rubber strap is one of the things that I love about a Panerai.I like the big, bold look of the Luminox without having to pay the Panerai price ($8,000) to get it.

Aside from the looks, the Luminox has kept great time so far. The watch is water resistant to 200 meters, which did not play a major part in my choosing the watch, but it is good to know I do not have to take it off to swim, shower, etc.I do not dive, but I do use the bezel to time my workouts.

One of my favorite things about the watch is the self-powered illumination on the face of the watch and at the top of the bezel.One my eyes adjust to the darkness, I can see that my watch glows rather brightly. It is somewhat amazing that the watch does this on its own without having to be "charged up" with light to do it. It is supposed to glow like this for a decade or so, which I am sure is longer than I will be able to keep up with the watch.

Actually, it is this self-powered illumination that led Luminox to its success.It seems that after Luminox made its first dive watch in 1993, a Navy procurement officer contacted Luminox and explained their need for the above-referenced luminous technology for use on night missions and asked to have the new dive watch re-engineered to meet their rigorous specifications. After many months of redesigning, the revamped dive watch was offered to the SEAL teams in early 1994, and Luminox went out to the world to offer this same watch to consumers as the Original Navy SEAL dive watch.

As the Navy SEAL Luminox watches go, I prefer the revised 3050 "Colormark" series because they have a 44mm case diameter and are a little bigger than the original 3000 Luminox Navy SEALs watch (43mm).When you compare the faces of the watches, you will see that the newer Colormark Series has a noticeably bigger face and the numbers are easier to read. It is just a better looking, watch.

In sum, this Luminox is a fun, functional, watch with an interesting history. It is not expensive like a Rolex or a Panerai, so buying one is no major life decision.Amazon got me a great deal on the 3055 version with the yellow numbers, and I love it.

This is an absolutely gorgeous watch, the pictures don't do it justice.Strangers tell me how pretty it is everywhere I go.It is a beautiful bright yellow and the numerals and hands light up like daylight in a dark room.Highly recommended.

Product Description:
In a sleek black nitride, the Trident from Reactor is hip enough for contemporary dress and durable enough for daily wear. The 40-millimeter case frames the unidirectional bezel, and attaches to the linked bracelet with a sturdy screw bar. In combination with constant illumination from innovative Never Dark technology, the yellow dial also features Superluminova hands and indexes, large Arabic numbers and a day/date display at three o'clock. Water resistant to 660 feet, the stylish Trident helps casual wear look smart and trendy.

Reactor Never Dark™ - the World's Most Advanced Watch Lighting System
Throughout the history of the wristwatch, designers have struggled with the best method to illuminate the watch face for easy viewing at night. Originally, radium paint was applied, but the radioactive side effects to the workers quickly made this unacceptable. Various phosphourescent compounds have been tried, but most remain visible only a short while in the dark. Electroluminescence was introduced in the '80s, but has the disadvantages of reducing battery life and requiring a button press to activate. Tritium-filled luminous tubes entered the market in the '90s, and while their multi-year illumination makes them a good choice, their relatively low brightness can be difficult to see in partially lit conditions, or immediately after moving from a brightly lit to a dark environment.

Starting in 2003, Reactor developed a proprietary method of applying a unique Swiss material called Superluminova that makes our watches the brightest and longest-lasting phosphourescent watches in the world (as verified by independent testing). However, while Superluminova is at least five times brighter than tritium after being charged in the light, that brightness fades to below that of tritium over several hours. As part of our quest to build the best watch possible, we saw a better solution.



Never Dark™ is the first technology to combine the intense brightness of Superluminova with the multi-year longevity of tritium, providing optimal illumination under all lighting conditions. Because it can take up to 30 minutes for the human eye to fully adjust to the dark, Superluminova's intense peak brightness makes a Never Dark™ watch easily visible during that initial period. This can be even more important when moving repeatedly from light to dark (such as when going below deck on a boat during the day), as the Superluminova will continually recharge and the eye will not have time to adjust. In situations where the watch will remain in the dark for many hours, the tritium will remain visible for years, even if the watch is never returned to the light.



This graph illustrates the performance of each illumination source over time. While tritium remains at a constant level, Superluminova gets extremely bright then fades over several hours, but recharges very quickly when re-exposed to light. Never Dark™ is the only watch illumination to "self-adjust" to conditions, with a response curve similar to that of the human eye. At its peak, the glow of Superluminova is easily visible, even at dusk or in difficult, partially lit conditions. With a full charge, it produces five to ten times the light output of tritium. But, as that brightness fades, the tritium will continue to glow for at least ten years.

Tritium is radioactive. Should You be worried?

Unlike radioactive isotopes that have been used on watches in the past, tritium poses no health risk to the wearer or to the workers who assemble the watches. Tritium's radioactive decay produces only weak beta particles that are contained completely within the sealed glass tubes. Even if exposed, the beta particles do not posess enough energy to penetrate the outer layer of human skin.
