I got this watch in October 2014 solely to wear to bed at night so I could see what time it is in a dark room, and also to use the rotating bezel as a guide when I am grilling in the backyard. If I wear it outside in SoCal heat, the crystal fogs up. The watch simply feels cheap, and it is in no way rugged. I liked the idea of being able to see the dial in the dark without having to depress the crown, as with the Timex Indiglo watches.

I BABY this watch. In a year, the comfortable silicone band tore off. I found excellent generic replacements on eBay for a tiny fraction of the cost of a genuine Luminox replacement. What is utterly unforgivable in a timepiece is that this watch, even with fresh (days old) batteries, will stop, sometimes for a half hour, sometimes for good, until I pull the crown out and jostle it. This is BEYOND annoying, this can get you into serious trouble.

I purchased another brand of tritium-insert watch to replace this one. I will retire rather than donate this Luminox, since I would not want to burden someone else with a watch that is so unreliable. I cannot recommend this watch to anyone for any purpose, especially since I see other reviewers who report the same problems.
