Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I figured it would be just a watch to wear seeing as a buddy of mine gave it to me because he bought the F-117 Luminox watch.Most of the reviews (especially for the black faced watch) really rag on it and totally discredit the watch and company as a whole.I've had the watch since 2002, lets not take into account that it was bought and worn before it came into my possession, and the battery ran out....2 months ago.The original battery.The only problems I've ever had with this watch were the pins for the watch.One broke as I raked my hiking backpack across it by accident.Dissapointing yes, but I don't mind paying Target or Wal-Mart $8 or so to give me brand new pins.The customer service IS pretty horrid, send it in they say and we'll let you know the price...yeah, not too impressive.For those that complain about the watch band breaking, I suggest go to Target or Wal-Mart to buy a cheap new one.It doesn't have to be a Luminox band.I've bought two cheap bands, one I bought simply because the first I bought was too stiff.So what?!?Also a good watch band is the ZULU 4 ring or the NATO nylon straps.Point being, I don't see what all the griping is about, I've known several people with this exact brand watch (some have the different color faces) and none have ever had a problem.Yes, the casio g-shock is what most of the military wears, my cousin is in the Army and that's what he uses.So, use it as a good casual watch, camping watch, or traveling watch.

Product Description:
Prized for its durability and unique illumination system, the Luminox Original Navy SEAL Series 1 stainless steel men's watch exudes confidence and power whenever it's worn. Thanks to 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's also water resistant to 200 meters (20 ATM, 660 feet), which is suitable for recreational scuba diving.
The large, black-plated stainless steel watch case--measuring 1.7 inches wide and 0.4 inches thick--is topped by a ratcheting, unidirectional rotating bezel with engraved 5-minute Arabic numerals in white and coin-edged detailing for an improved grip. The yellow dial face is accented by white Arabic numeral markers, large black-outlined baton hands (with seconds hand), and a date function at 3 o'clock. It's completed by a comfortable polyurethane (PU) diver's strap in black. Other features include a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, multi-jeweled Swiss quartz watch movement, double gasket crown, and 4-year battery life. 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.
