Great watch! Great price! What's not to love?Aug 17, 2010
I've always wanted one of the Luminox watches and now I have it. The best part is it came a week before the originally indicated arrival date. I love it when my expectations are exceeded. A seller can't go wrong doing this.
As for how it works, well it simply works as advertised and what more could you expect. You certainly are never in a place where you can't tell the time no matter how dark the room. I even got two compliments on the watch the first week I wore it.

 It's a plastic quartz watchAug 14, 2010
Okay, so you decide to spend the day at the beach and you find you need some new flip-flops. You head to the drugstore on the way and there you find two racks of flops -- one has Hong Kong-made for 99 cents a pair and the other has Swiss-made flops for $30.00 a pair. The Swiss ones have a glow-in-the-dark toe strap, but otherwise there is no visible difference between the two types of flip-flops. But, well, everybody knows Swiss stuff is just naturally better made and that justifies the higher cost, right?
After several months of owning the Luminox Navy Seals yellow dial(3005) watch, $157, I kinda feel like the guy who bought the $30 flip-flops to get the Swiss label and the glowing toe strap. I'm not sure that, for my purposes, a $45 Timex with Indiglo night lite wouldn't do the job just as well. I would certainly put the Luminox up against my Invicta Swiss quartz diver with steel case and bracelet, screw-on stainless steel case back screw-down crown, good night-time lume, 200 meter water resistance and Submariner-style dial($88 on sale at Amazon two years ago).
Don't get me wrong. The Luminox seems to be everything it claims to be (I haven't been down 200 meters but it does fine in the shower. The crown does not screw down and the plastic caseback is held on by four small machine screws. Again, cheap-looking construction). So this is a military-looking plastic Swiss quartz watch with atomic glowing hands and markers, a decent rubber strap (the strap on mine is not quite wide enough to fill the entire space between the lugs on the watch head, which seems cheap).
I have no way of knowing if this Luminox will long outlast the Timex and the Invicta. But I'm feeling like that guy who bought the $30 Swiss flip-flops and had buyer's remorse later, afraid he fell for a big load of hype.

Nice WatchJun 15, 2010
I bought this watch about four weeks ago and so far so good. It is light weight but seems very durable. I have knocked around the watch a few times and keep expecting to see a scratch or scuff on the face, but it looks as it did the first day I pulled it from the box. It is very easy to see the time at night, this is without doubt the best feature.
The watch has got compliments and I still find myself admiring the looks.
The only reason I would not rate this a five is due to the very expensive battery replacement as well as a replacement watch band that runs upwards of $35.
So far so good.
 Great price, Great look, lasts long!Apr 22, 2010
This watch is amazing, I bought it for my boyfriend for our anniversary, and he LOVES it! He wears it everyday, and can't get over how amazing it is. It glows in the dark, is very easy to read, and you can set the date in it as well, so you know the time as well as the date! Waterproof up to a riduculous depth (obviously, its a navy seal watch) so you'll never have to worry about messing it up when you get it wet or accidently drop it in water or something. It was a GREAT buy, well worth the [...] bucks I spent on it, no doubt.
Superb watchFeb 07, 2010
I wear mine everyday and find it to be a great watch. I did break a crystal in a bike accident after I landed on it when all 240 lbs of me was flung forward over the handlebars at 15 mph onto concrete... my arm and wrist were bent under my stomach and I landed smack on the watch... got it repaired for $50 thru JCPenney... works just fine... as one might surmise I am hard on watches and I've yet to scratch the crystal in everyday use and believe me, I've scratched many another watch frequently... my watch has dropped to the floor like every month or so and its sturdy construction has held up without any problem. I wear mine 24/7 year-round and have not had any issues with its ruggedness... the first watch I can wear in the shower and washing dishes and everywhere... I also find that the lighted dial is superb when camping out, driving down the interstate, wherever... the only question I'd have is how the Seals get by with this in night ops... I'd think the light would give them away for a mile! My spouse occasionally complains that the light keeps her up at night so I have to make sure my left wrist is under the covers when she comes to bed... BTW, the strap is fantastic... I can't wear a lot of other ones because of my hairy arms and sensitive skin, but this band is awesome... most of the time I don't even know I have it on... though it does get taken off after about 6 hours of pretty continuous programming... all in all, if you just want a watch to keep time and be visible at all hours and everywhere, and to hold up under extreme conditions (like my wrist), then this is a great watch... it also looks pretty spiffy... I've rec'd many compliments on it...
