Mazdaowner Moderator December 22, 2009 Share December 22, 2009 (edited) Guys any comments on Luminox watch??? I'm a darn rugged person so i guess this rugged watch will suit me , any feedback on this watch??? Which model are you referring to? Personally I have 2 of my own, one given to me after my training, being the 3000 series, my opinion is the strap retaining pin cannot take knocks, it will come off with the strap. I still have this watch, but have changed strap twice over. Two light scratches on the crystal face. The other is the 3102 this was bought at a subsidized price then, and has lasted all these years with me and I wear it as my day to day watch. Yes, very sturdy. 309 Spec. Night Ops. Used during my last year in service. My take on this one is the rubber strap will break after a while due to wear & Tear and age. I had to have the strap replaced directly from Luminox US, used only like 3-4 times, then after the strap came, had it changed, and int the box it went. I gave my eldest son the watch when he entered service, strap broke in half, Luminox Singapore says no promises but the RUBBER STRAP will cost like $80+ bucks to replace, and he's asked them to get he metal bracelet as well. Note: Mil Spec watches have SMALLER watch face and smaller tritium-filled glass tubes. Back plates are listed as "3H mbm" If I may give you a word of advice, get the FABRIC wrist band strap, it'll be easier for you to get replacements. And yes, all my watches are still in good working condition, battery lfe is approx. 4yrs+ with the second moving back and forth back and forth in one location, indicating low battery. Got the 3003 commercial series for my wife 3 years ago, she hated it at first, but once it went on her wrist, hahahaha....you'd have to get it off from her over her dead body, she loves the watch. Overall, a worthwhile watch to buy. Hope this helps. Edited December 22, 2009 by Mazdaowner Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazdaowner Moderator December 23, 2009 Share December 23, 2009 Personally i think G shock provide the best value for money for field use. Yes, G-shock is good value for money, but if your job depends on a good time piece specially in the field, this one comes in first. Have encounter this personally, night, all of a sudden, watch battery dies on you, no light, no time, how? The illumination from electronic watches, is good enough to give away your position, and all it takes is just that 4 seconds of light. Diving, all of a sudden your watch light blows? HOW? Reliability. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can get your hands on the OLD model Spec.Night Ops. 301 or 309, trust me, you won't regret the effort fining it. The EVO and Dive series I and II are great, but like I said, commercial and Mil specs run different. I got my wife's 3000 for S$250, brand new, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazdaowner Moderator December 23, 2009 Share December 23, 2009 (edited) Read wrongly, no, Luminox is cheaper in price as compared to Ball Tracer watches. Same technology for the illumination. only the brand BALL more ATAS. illumination lasts for 25yrs. No need to shine it in the light etc. you can keep the watch in the safe or a dark place for years and the illumination will still light up. Unlike normal watches, you need to hold it up to a light source, after which it starts to go off and finally die, till you bring it onto a light source again.
