Luminox 3001 Reviews
Luminox another great watch from amazon

I currently own two Luminox 3001 watches. My first watch endured four years worth of abuse as a correctional officer at a Juvenille correctional camp. The watch was abused mercilessly for four years. At the end of this time the crystal finally broke when breaking up a fight and slamming the watch against a cinderblock wall. I ordered a new model while sending the old one off for repairs. The only difference between the old and the new is the markings. The new model says Swiss Quartz 200 meters instead of the old models "Nay Seals" markings on the face. In the four years of use the old models lumination did not fade at all and it keeps very accurate time. It is disturbing to see all of the negative reviews on the luminox watches, its almost as though they are rating a completely different watch than the ones I have used for so long. BTW the cost of repairs for the old model was $16.00 less than just buying a new one. To the credit of the repair station the watch looked like new when returned, new case, crystal and bezel. Would I buy another? You bet!!!

I loved the look of this watch and wore it 24/7 swimming, playing tennis, diving, etc. It spent many hours every week in some kind of water Was great for about six months but then began to fog up. Sent it to be fixed, worked well for another few months then fog again, finally just gave up on it not even two years after I bought it.
Poor Quality

STAY AWAY, RUN!! DON'T WaSTE YOUR MONEY! I purchased my Luminox Watch back in 2001. I was excited at first as I liked the versatility and design. I needed a watch that could take some mild abuse as I am can be on them. I noticed after about a year the bezel started to wear. Then after the the third year of ownership, water started getting inside the watch itself. The watch would fog up after a shower. After four years of wearing it, the bezel wore completely smooth, showing no numbers at all. I called Luminox and inquired and they advised me to send it to their authorized repair facility. Then I get a phone call from Luminox asking where I purchased it from. I told them and they then stated that it was not covered under any warranty at all being that I bought it off of E-Bay, even though I purchased it brand brand new from a verified E-Bay power seller. They stated that I would have had to purchase it from an "authorized" Luminox dealer for warranty coverage. They advised me that the crown was bent, the internals were rusted and needed to be rebuilt, the crystal was scratched to the point of needing replacement, the bezel needed replacing, ect....... I sucked it up and paid the $100.00 plus return S&H to have them rebuild my watch and send it back. Two years later the battery was toasted, the bezel started to wear again, and it was fogging up again when I took a shower. I have had it now eight years and the watch is ruined. It won't hold the correct time, I have a hard time setting the date, and the bezed it completely smooth again, showing no numbers at all. I called Luminox after the second time I started having problems and inquired about warranty work since their authorized repair facility rebuilt it and they said that since I didn't original purchase it from an authorized Luminox dealer........and told me that they couldn't help me.
I like the versatility and design, so I just bought a watch similar in nature from a different manufacturer and it's warrantied for three years right off the bat.
Bottom line: Luminox won't back their product and it's inferior in quality.
Don't buy this watch

After owning this watch for three months one of the lugs holding the strap broke off when it hit the edge of a table (this a watch supposedly made for Navy SEALS?). The manufacturer refused to repair/replace the case under the warranty and wanted $110 to do so as a watch repair. Add that to the fact that the watch is really light weight and the strap is stiff/uncomfortable to wear. Do yourself a favor and pass on this watch.
Better Choices Out There

If you want to buy this watch because you think Navy Seals wear it--they don't. If you would like a watch commonly used by SEALs, then buy a Casio G-Shock DW-6600. If you just like the watch, it's okay, but there are better quality divers out there from Seiko and Citizen, and you should check those out. When I bought my Luminox, there were some that were already broken in the case (tritium vials had fallen off the hands). I sold mine a few months later.
