I bought my 1st Luminox here on Amazon.com - What a great watch! Once you have a tritium dial it's hard to look at a watch that claims luminescence without those glowing Swiss indices again. As a carpenter, I abused the heck out of this watch. It lasted through thick and thin crawl spaces and many a hard days night. Finally it met it's end when simply sliding off my bed and falling the distance of no more than 2 feet onto the hardwood floor which cracked the crystal... or should I say smashed the crystal and loosed the second hand. It really seemed odd that this watch would make it on my wrist but couldn't fall 2' onto a wood floor. Luminox repair center wanted 80% the cost of a new one to repair the crystal and second hand.
After two years on my wrist the bezel hand become rounded smooth from wear. The bezel no longer rotated. The band was a disgrace and no longer stuck to itself... and still I rate it 4-stars for overall enjoyment - but probably ought to detract several for it's short lifespan and costly repair. (They require $12.95 for return shipping that only cost me $1.53 to them- so you see where I'm coming from.)

I'm in the market for another watch. I'm looking Swiss made and it's difficult not to seriously consider another Luminox. Still, I'm considering my next purchase against Tissot, Tawatec, Victorinox and Hanowa before plunking down a few Benjamins on another fragile plastic watch... and I probably won't go any other route than a Sapphire crystal this time, ruling out Tawatec and most of the Hanowas. (Zooming in on the Tawatec I noticed "Swiss Mov't" - not the SMW "Swiss Made" I was looking for, as found on the Luminox watches.
