Excellent watch for the money!
I absolutely love this watch for the money. I typically wear a Tag Heur titanium and carbon fiber watch - there is no comparison between a $3000 watch with an 8 year lithium battery and this watch. That said, this watch is maximum bang for the buck. My son was shopping for a Casio G Shock this summer which he ultimately bought, we explored other options and tried this one on at an Orvis retail store. I was impressed by the quality, weight (lack thereof) and presentation (gorgeous little sunglasses like Luminox case). I couldn't get this piece off of my radar, I was fully prepared to pay the $319 asking price for it at most of the big stores: Orvis, Cabela's ... Much to my surprise I found the Blackout version on sale on Black Friday and purchased it for about half that. After receiving the Blackout version (watch is totally blacked out, no white anything - like a tactical version), I still wanted this one. Amazon threw me another bone with another awesome watch sale just before Christmas - now I own two, and I purchased them for less than the cost of one at the full asking price. I just love them and have received many compliments on them. My son borrows mine all the time - ah, what happened to your G Shock??? Just kidding, he's welcome to it and his G Shock is really nice too, its solar, sets itself every midnight... I also have had nice Seiko's and currently have a Suunto Mountaineering watch. I like the Luminox for their simplicity and class. Treat yourself to the YouTube video called: Luminox Production, its wild seeing the Swiss workers placing the 25 year gas tubes and subjecting the watches to the battery of tests. It'll make you proud to own one or it'll make you purchase one or another in my case. One thing I must mention, if you buy from Amazon - make sure the watch comes from Amazon - it'll come with a two year warranty, I've read many horror stories in the reviews about Luminox purchased from other vendors on Amazon to have great difficulties with warranty work. Hope this helps, enjoy!

Great looking watch that can endure anything
I was a little weary on spending this much on a sports watch, but once I received it in the mail I was more than happy I did. I have quite a lot of expensive watches and I wanted one that I could wear doing various outdoor activities that would normally give unwanted wear to my expensive watches. I have had G-shocks and they have either broken after time or didn't have the look I wanted. This watch looks great with any clothes, from casual to business attire. The size is great because I dislike oversized watches and a lot of watches now are so over sized they are bigger than the wrists they are around. The Luminox brand has clearly been a brand well known for their durability, specific style, and reliability.The number illuminate great when dark and don't need to be charged by a light source. My past g-shocks often had a built in light that either went bad or was far to bright when I pressed it to light up. Also you don't need to press anything to light it, it does it automatically so when I'm hunting or scuba diving all I have to do is glance at my wrist and I will immediately know the exact time as well as how long I have been down (because of the bezel which rotates keep track of time).I would recommend this watch to everyone that wants a stylish watch that can endure anything you throw at it. I got in the mail with in 4 days and it was packaged very well. It came with a nice zip up travel case to store it in ( even though you can just throw it in the bottom of your suit case if you aren't wearing it because it is probably more durable than the luggage you are putting it in). This will be the last sports watch you buy because once you wear it once, you will not want to switch to any other watch.

Inconsistent with marketing specifications
I have owned this watch for a little over 2 years. I wanted a watch that I could wear on a daily basis, i.e., waterproof, designed to withstand my active lifestyle, made of high quality materials, lightweight and aesthetically appealing. For me, this watch, the Luminox 3051 EVO seemed to check all of those boxes. In addition, I was familiar with the Luminox brand and was impressed by their excellent reputation as a tool utilized by some members of the U.S. Military, specifically the Navy SEALs, which Luminox touted as a main marketing point, going so far as to engrave the Trident insignia on the back of the casing of some models, including the 3051 EVO. At nearly $250, this was a significant investment for me, a young college student, but an investment I felt comfortable with given all of the aforementioned information, but most importantly because I knew Luminox offered a 2 year warranty on their products. I made the purchase and it arrived in what seemed to be all of the original Luminox packaging with the associated documentation and protective pill shaped case. however, upon closer inspection the very first thing that I noticed was that the markings on the rotating bezel were not in perfect alignment with the numerical markings on the watch face. I was further disappointed when I observed the illuminating markings on the rotating bezel. The linear marking at the 12 o'clock position was not in perfect alignment, nor was it straight vertical line as was intended. This was immediately noticeable as this specific markingwas distinguished from the other illuminated reference points by not only glowing in a different color, but also buy its linear, 6-to-12 o'clock orientation and a small circular piece of plastic that rose of out of the bezel and surrounded the marker. Within 90 days via 4 mentioned circular boundary begin to show signs of extreme wear, appearing bent inwards which further contributed to the slanted disorientation of the associated illuminating marker. Within a year, the original rubber band that the watch shipped with broke, ripping at the attachment point to the case. I wore this watch to class, to the gym, and while working in the operating room of the local hospital. There is no significant where or abuse that could be cited as the reason for the failure of the watch band. I replace the band and put off contacting luminox about replacing the original band as I was busy with my studies and work. Then, about 6 months ago, after only owning the watch for roughly 19 months, I noticed that some water had gotten into the case after I had gotten out of the pool one morning. I swam while wearing this watch on a pretty regular basis as it was a part of my morning workout. It should be noted that the watch was not dropped or slammed up against anything, no extraordinary event that would have compromised the structural integrity had occurred around this time, nor any other time to my recollection. I never considered swimming with the watch to be an issue as the watch was marketed to be water-resistant up to 200 m; approximately two orders of magnitude greater than the maximum depth I observed while swimming in the morning. Within 6 hours, the characteristic white markings on the face turned to a yellowish color and further discoloration and deformity ensued over time. Attempted to contact the seller, decor plus, but never received a response. I then contacted Luminox, and at the time The watch was within 2 year warranty. However, the passed the buck as they said that they were not responsible because I did not buy the watch from them directly. Finally, I contacted Amazon I'm currently awaiting a decision by the escalations department to determine if I deserve a refund. I'm very disappointed with the product as it was a significant investment and was touted as a water resistant, warrior-approved, precise Swiss made Time piece, yet nearly none of those things were consistent with my personal experience. I cannot say for sure whether or not this was an official Luminox watch or a replica. Despite this fact, I would not recommend buying this product, at least not through a third party. It is my hope that Amazon can provide some explanation and perhaps compensation as I feel it is the only right thing to do.

Un orologio molto valido
Ho questo orologio da un po di tempo devo dire che la qualità e la finitura dello stesso è assolutamente di livello l'ho usato a mare facendo anche immersioni mai nessuno alone oltretutto per la sua leggerezza ma assolutamente di qualità dimentichi di averlo sul polso io ho comprato anche un cinturino in cordura e velcro che è più comodo da indossare sopra la muta quando ci si immerge. Anche al buio si vede con precisione la posizione delle lancette quindi l'orario.

Clearly a great watch but is it real?
Great stylish and light in weight easily visible watch.My second watch by Luminox. I notice that the watch does not have an International warranty card as supplied with my other Luminox watch I bought a couple of years ago. The delivery note also refers to the watch being manufactured in China with a value of 80 (may be GBP ?) I a concerned that the watch may not be a genuine Luminox as the number font on the date is different to my other Luminox watch? The time adjustment winder is also different.

Update
UPDATE July 15/14Thought I would provide an update since it has been over a year since purchase. The watch itself still performs very well, no battery issues and still as bright at night as when received.Cons - the watch band is rather of poor quality, first the 2 rubber hoops cracked and broke off and now this past couple weeks the entire band has multiple cracks throughout. I wore the watch on a daily basis day and night but did not wear while showering. A little disappointing having to replace the band in just over a year. I have ordered this as a replacement http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B002XZLK7W/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1.The face of the watch is starting to show a bit of wear, yes my own fault knocked the face a few times and have a fairly noticeable scratch.Overall I still like the watch and probably would buy another Luminox but for those that plan on wearing on a daily basis you will most likely need to replace the band quicker than you would like.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________I waited a a few months before I submitted a review. I love this watch.Like others mentioned on here, the warranty may be a issue for some as Luminox does recognize Amazon as a authorized retailer of Luminox watches. I thought I would take a chance and went for it. I am not disappointed.This watch is super lightweight and is super easy to read at night, very bright. So far has been very accurate for time and the face is very tough, I have worn in very dusty conditions and no fine scratches on the face. I have also banged the watch a few times and it is tough.One thing some may find with this watch is a bit large. I do not have a very big wrist but feel it does not look too big or excessive.
