I purchased this watch with the thought of ruggedness in mind. I was impressed with the style when I first received it. I noticed that most of the positive reviews here were from customers that also enjoyed the looks and haven't had the watch for a long period of time. Also note that reviews on this watch on other websites explain the same problems. After about a month a noticed that from moving indoors to outdoors, Condensation could be seen under crystal. Not even near as water resistant as they advertise. The watch battery ran down after 2 months. No big deal, I replaced it. Then, Because the case is plastic, the wristban bar wore out the hole on the case so that the watch kept falling off. O.K. I JB welded the hole and made it smaller once again. Next the tritium gas tube fell off the second hand. and floated around inside the case. I was beginning to get annoyed. So a few days later the gas tube got stuck under the hour hand a jammed the movement. I was able to free it up but was not confident in the watch at this point. It ran for another 5 days and then stopped on it's own. Frazzled, I placed it in my workbench vice and destroyed it. I felt so much better. After all of this I would suspect that you would ask, "Why didn't you have it serviced under the warrenty?" Well, That's because if you go to their website, there warranty and replacement policy is an absolute JOKE! They expect you to jump through hurdles to get this watch even looked at. Ridiculous! Don't buy it! Get a Citizen, They actually care about their customers!Get more detail about Luminox Men's 3001 Original Navy SEAL Dive Watch.
