Luminox?
Hello crunchers! Today I'd like to hear your opinion on Luminox, a swiss brand who's seal models are not issued to animals, but the navy seals! This is the Navy Seal Chronograph, my favourite from the line.
But, I don't own one of these.... Yet.... Erm, I'd love to hear your opinions on your Luminox's or Luminii? Your overall experience with them, yay or nay?

I love mine but would never pay full price for it as I think they're kinda expensive. I've never had a problem with it and it's super light and comfortable.
I like mine but wouldn't pay full price like @got_time_1 said. I got mine used. I thought that it would be cool to have a Navy Seal watch. When I got it, it didn't seem to be that special. I mean it's neat to have but being a military watch, especially an elite forces watch, I would think that it would have better features. Like a screwdown crown and a sapphire crystal. I understand that they wouldn't want the lume too bright. They could get picked off by a sniper or outed by the enemy. That's why it isn't bright. People complain about it but I don't. It's a decent watch but not worth full price. Maybe the chronograph is.

I got mine from Costco, I had always wanted one and when I saw the yellow for $180 I jumped on it

I did find one at Walmart for $320.... Not sure if it's worthit. I've seen luminox list them for $999, which is borderline insanity. Luminox depreciates quite a lot, I've noticed. But first I wanted to check with the people who actually own one about the whole picture. Thanks guys for replying

Not a bad price for new. I got mine used for $125.

The stainless steel may be worth it at that price. I probably wouldn't pay much more.
I had the Luminox 3051. As others said already, getting it new and paying the full price is not worth it. The lume and it’s length is super great but the casing scratches way too easily. I ended up selling it, so I could get Traser watch instead.
