As a supplier of military watches for the U.S. Navy SEALs and U.S. Air Force, Luminox watches are designed to handle any sort of environment at any given moment. Luminox expanded the collection to include an entire line of watches of many types and styles created for the active consumer, the sportsman, law enforcement and military groups. The advantage of a Luminox in comparison to other watches is its glow-in-the-dark capability. Every Luminox watch uses a self-powered system of illumination powered by very small gas lights (borosilicate glass capsules). These allow the watch to glow continuously for 25 years while having a much brighter illumination system. Luminox watches need no external light source to “charge” the point on the dial or hands in order to glow as do conventional luminous watches. Nor do they require the push of a button to light the dial as do watches with electroluminescence. Being able to read the watches in any conditions, even in total darkness, is an important requirement of many military and law enforcement agencies. About Luminox Luminox combines the finest tradition and precision of Swiss watchmaking with the durability demanded by US armed forces and the latest innovations in timepiece technology. The company pioneered the development of small, individual luminescent tracer lamps and was contacted by the U.S. Navy SEAL teams to build a dive watch for their use on night missions. After their popularity in the Navy grew, the Air Force asked Luminox to develop a watch specifically for F-117 Nighthawk Stealth pilots.

decent durable watch
It's a really good watch. Looks nice on my wrist without being over the top. I bought it for when I do outdoor and home renovation stuff. Seems like it will take a beating. Sapphire crystal and light weight is key.

8822.MI Recon
The best watch I've every owned. I purchased this "shipped and sold from Amazon" so I didn't have to worry much about authenticity (I know that has been a problem with Luminox watches).It feels absolutely great on my wrist! The material used for the band is by far my favorite for watch material. I've only owned this watch for a few months, and because of the high price I've been nervous to wear it for work (using a Timex for work). But after I get more use out of it I'll report back if it is failing me in any way.So far, the only gripe I have about this watch is the glass bezel is very susceptible to getting scraped up against stuff. Because of this I put one of those watch bezel screen protectors on it. It seems to be holding up very well as a result.Overall, the watch is extremely comfortable and it looks incredible. I've had many compliments so far!

Great watch but Disappointed.
This Luminox 8822.mi Recon Pointman is a Nice watch. However there was no manual and no warranty card. Speculation is the watch is being sold as new but is OLD stock as the tritium is very very dim and as I said no manual or warranty card. Like the watch but Disappointed. No Integrity in anything anymore!
