So one of the main things that Luminox brags about is the ability of their watches to stay constantly lit. Sad to say it but this was actually one of the main reasons behind me buying one of their watches. Don't quote me, but I am pretty sure that the little things that light up along the dial are filled with tritium gas. They boast about the fact that these luminescent tubes have a life of 25 years which is actually pretty ridiculous to me. I can't really think of  any reason to complain because I would rather have something lit for 25 years then having a really shitty glow that lasts for like 1 hour (I am referring to glow-in-the dark watches). Anyways, I can't get my camera to pick up the light so if you want to see it, just go to their site and you can see all their watches in the dark. It is really easy to see at night time but is not an obnoxious glow.

The watch I bought came with a velcro strap and on the strap were two large decals (or whatever they're called). One of them is a Luminox logo and the other is a Marines logo, both of which I removed with a knife because I found them obnoxious. If you want to see what the watch looks like with them on, check out Amazon.

The only thing that I don't like about the velcro strap is how long it takes to dry when it gets wet. Obviously this isn't their problem because all velcro will take this long. The strap almost feels as if it has a layer of cushion which makes it very comfortable even when it is pretty tight. Also, since the watch is not directly attached to the velcro strap, rather some elastic cloth, when you bend your wrist (if the watch is very tight) the watch will move up and down to allow the movement. Even on a very tight setting, it does not bother hand movements.

When I bought the watch, I also bought a replacement Luminox rubber hand strap that is what I regularly use. It is slimmer then the velcro strap and I fancy how it looks more than the velcro.

Just as any watch should, this one keeps time perfectly fine. I have had no problems with time time at all.

One of my complaints is how the bezel on the top only turns counter-clockwise. I have had another watch that turns both direction and I find it much more convenient when it turns either way. I usually keep mine at the top unless using it, and when I accidentally click it once, I have to go all the way around to the top again. The sound it creates is very nice though, and it's not really a complaint as much as it is me being uptight. I just always try to turn it the other direction because I forget.

The watch has an incredibly scratch resistant sheet of glass on it (I don't know if its glass or what). I have bumped this thing into the wall a good amount of times and it is still spotless. Another thing I like is how the military time is posted next to all the the hours so if you ever want/need military time, it is right there for you to see.

All in all, it is a great watch and I would recommend it to anyone that wants a sturdy watch that is not very flashy. It is incredibly light but the build quality still feels very firm and strong. Luminox has won me over with this watch and I might forever be under their spell.
