| | Description | Luminox Tech: All Luminox watches must undergo additional manufacturing steps that other watches do not require. The Luminox self-powered illumination system must be installed into each and every watch. It is a costly and time consuming endeavor but it is what makes Luminox watches special. It is our raison d'être. Each watch employs tiny self-powered micro gas lights developed by the world leader in the luminous compound industry. These micro gas lights (borosilicate glass capsules) are installed into the hands, hour markers, and when necessary, bezels of our watches. Luminox watches need no external light source to "charge" the paint 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. The U.S. military has long recognized the advantages of micro gas light sources and their use is specified in procurement specification MIL-W-46374F. Our self-powered illumination-Luminox Light Technology (LLT) allows one to view time-at-a-glance, no matter what the light level, even in complete darkness. This ease of being able to read time effortlessly seems to fill a need for various military and law enforcement groups. It is why the U.S. Navy SEALs Procurement officers came to us asking us to create dive watches for them for night missions. It is also why U.S. Air Force pilots flying the F-117 NighthawkTM Stealth Jets asked the same of us. These are only two of many groups of "heroes" that truly understand and appreciate the inherent benefit of wearing a Luminox timepiece. | |

 Great Watch Aug 20, 2008
By G. B. Goeppner
Wow this is a great watch! It looks even better in person and is very functional. The stop watch and alarm are easy to use and as all Luminox watches it is very easy to read in dim to no light at all.

 Lacks feel of quality Aug 04, 2010
By Sasu Mattila
"sasu"
I bought this watch (the ivory colored version model 1847) within a month of buying a similar priced Tissot PRC200 chronograph (Tissot Men's T17.1.516.32 T-Sport PRC200 Watch). The Luminox was a disappointment, especially compared to the Tissot. The Tissot looks and feels like a high quality watch, the Luminox like a little boys' toy.
The Luminox main adjustment knob has very gritty threads. When the knob is pulled out to any of the adjustment positions, it feels loose like it is about to break or fall off. The chronograph buttons have poor feel of contact and are very loose in their sockets, not very confidence inspiring. This watch feels and looks so rough I wonder how long it will work.
On the positive side the Tritium works very well and the watch is readable in any lighting. This is the main reason I bought this watch.
The alarm is handy and quite quick to adjust, easier than I thought. The alarm volume is not too loud, I prefer it this way. The chronograph goes up to 12 hours. When you reset the chronograph, it takes a long time, up to 10-20 seconds, for the hour and minute hands to reach zero as it winds forward through all the twelve hours.
If this watch were selling for half the current price I would have thought it was right, but in its current price range it is out of its league. You can buy more solid watches for the price, but of course without the handy Tritium dials.
EDIT: Added one star. I have been wearing this watch for a month now. After the initial disappointment I have grown to like it.
