Luminox Original Navy Seal Men's Military Dive Watch with Date Function - 200m Water Resistant - Swiss Made - Perfect for Scuba Diving, Outdoor Adventures & Tactical Operations

I purchased this watch 2 years ago because of the good reputation of Luminox for making dependable, reliable and stylish watches. My goal was to get a watch that could find its way at a dinner party and also feel at ease deep down in a Southern California desert canyon. It's got class and a demeanor that seems to be saying "let's go explore".From one out of several other action watches, this watch quickly became my favorite and a travel companion -- a trusted partner. I use it every day: at work, on the trail, on my bike, across borders and oceans.Here are some things that made me fall in love with it over time. The look is sharp and unapologetic, reminiscent of aviation instruments with big, bold numerals and fat dials. Sizable, yet without the monstrous proportions of too many modern watches. The rotating bezel is firm and stays securely in its place, making it a very useful countdown instrument. Time awareness saved my life when I got lost in the Indio hills (and to make perfect boiled eggs). The glow is peerless: you will see time no matter how dark it is outside, whether the watch has been sitting in a closet (God forbid) for months. You will see the light: I say that's fantastic. Timekeeping: flawless (I only adjust time across time zones). Battery life: 2 years and counting with a stock battery. Date: easy to adjust every other month (31 days manual setting).No watch is perfect and this one is no exception: the rubber strap wears out somehow quickly (one of the smaller bands left off during a skydive and the pins got loose a couple time playing catch football) and the dials do not perfectly line up with the digits.If you're on the lookout to purchase a watch that's as handsomely rugged as it is practical, you may want to consider that one. To me, there is no one like it.Thanks for reading my review! I wish you many years of adventure with your new time piece. The world is awaiting!
