   I’ve read some negative comments about LumiNox, but I needed a good watch and I’m glad I jumped. After a week of nearly constant use, it’s comfortable, lightweight ( thanks to the carbon-fiber case ), and the nighttime illumination is superb! The gray face background is very stylish, not garish, which makes this watch good even for semi-formal outings — if I ever go to one. The only thing I had a small problem with is the Evo rubber strap. I don’t SCUBA anymore, and buckling that strap every morning was a bit of a hassle, so today I changed it to a tactical nylon strap from one of my failed watches. Much easier to work with. I obviously can’t speak to long-term durability yet but since I don’t dive and just use it for travel and night work I’ll bet I get a good long use. A little more expensive than I had planned, but so far, I’m very satisfied.

   I got my 8802 as a gift for my birthday. It really is a great watch.
   
   I had read a lot of reviews on Luminox watches that stated the gas capsules had come loose inside the face or fallen off. Even some that have said they got water inside the watch.

   I haven’t had any of those issues. A week after I got the watch I used it in some rough salt water conditions. The watch got its share of salt and sand abuse.
   
   Immediately after the bezel dial became hard to turn but after submerging it in fresh water and rotating the dial a few times, the sand and salt came free.

   The watch looks great. Its very unassuming and not as gaudy as some of the other luminox watches that have over accented tick marks and numbers.

   The band is longer then I anticipated and requires the use of the second keeper. I don’t have many watches with bands this long but I understand the long band allows it to be worn over clothing etc.

   Its very solid and a lot lighter then it looks. I imagine that is because of the polycarbonate/carbon fiber material.

   The illumination is noticeable in indoors and dusk like conditions, not just in total darkness.

   The only minor knock on the watch is that the face and numbers are so muted that if you are looking at it from an angle or if there is glare you lose the ability to see the numbers. The illuminated indicators are still very visible, so telling time isn’t an issue at all, its simply a cosmetic issue.

   Good size. The band is wide and thick. It feels well constructed. I use it as a casual watch. The glow is great at night.

   I am a LONG time Luminox fan. This is my fourth watch, with my first having been bought in the late 90′s. That Navy Seals watch is still in use by the way, and still glowing bright (although not quite as bright as my newer ones, but only marginally less). Every one of my Luminox watches (all are dive series watches) are of the highest quality and reliability and I would most certainly recommend them.

   I’m one of those types that doesn’t get into hundreds of gadgets and gizmos in my watch. I just want a watch with bold styling, and will simply give me the time and date. Beyond that I’m not interested in extras (my iPhone handles my need for all that).

   This 20th anniversary series watch caught my eye because of the typical bold styling of the brand, plus the subdued colors of the hands and numerals, which is a departure from the white that I normally see in their selections.

   I am thoroughly satisfied with the watch as another fine addition to my collection.

   The $199 price that I paid for this is more than reasonable considering I paid around the same as my original watch from Cabelas around 12 years ago.

   It is the best type of watch for all lighting conditions, period!

   Watch looks very good. The glowing arms and numerals are something different. I like how it displays the military time on the face. The insignia on the back of the watch is really impressive. No problems with the watch so far.
