This watch is a great value purchased to replace an aging Tissot T-Touch titanium. What I loved about the Tissot is a good contrast to what I love about the Luminox. Both watches are very light. So far, the Luminox has been durable. It's not as durable as the Tissot but it has style and is much simpler to use. The mineral glass face hasn't been scratched yet - I'm being careful. The band doesn't pull on my arm hair like some other rubber/plastic watch bands I've had. I really love the understated black face and the tritium night glow; the watch is very readable in the dark for several hours. Most of all, I love the simplicity of the Luminox over my old Tissot. The Tissot had many features that were extremely complicated and never worked right. The Luminox just tells time and does so accurately. It's just what I needed.

EDIT: About 2 weeks into ownership I snapped the watch band right off the watch while squeezing my hand into a tight space (to unlock an armored car door). The 22mm pin went zinging off into oblivion, which is a fairly inconvenient thing when you are in Afghanistan. One star removed for a less durable spring band pin than I expected. I was able to find a local replacement but it took three days. I'll be more careful knowing the band will pop right off the watch under duress.
