The Recon is the latest addition to the Luminox watches of different series that I own ranging in price from $250.00 to over a $1,000.00 for a business casual stainless steel bracelet and case model. I continue to purchase Luminox watches because they simply don't fail and they look great. The good news is, I've been able to keep them for a long time too and as such, I can attest to their reliability and durability over the past eight years. As an outdoors enthusiast, I can be pretty tough on the watches and they take a beating, (the PVD case watches that is).  Recently, on three of my casual favorites I had the crystals replaced with OEM crystals through the Luminox service center . They look new again.
