This is a great looking watch, looks great in person as well as in the picture. I think this is a great watch for the money seems like it's made pretty well, doesn't feel cheap. I did change out the band to a Barton Nato band didn't really like the stock band also I have small size wrists so wasn't tight enough on my wrist for me. As far as the luminous hands mine do glow, not very long but they do. I read that these watches come from different factories so maybe it depends on where it was manufactured if they glow or not, I have read some reviews where people say they do not at all. Overall I think it's a great watch for the money and doesn't feel like a cheap watch.
