Luminox Watch Buying Tips

1887 Field Chrono Alarm Mens Watch by Luminox

The Luminox Field Watch a good example of a watch not to take diving!

If you are looking at a Luminox watch, there’s a great chance of you being in the military or law enforcement or buying for someone who is. Whatever the case, there are a few things you should look out for when looking to buy a Luminox watch.

Always Buy From a Reputable Dealer

This is the most important tip to follow. While Luminox prides itself on the quality of its watches, if you buy the watch from someone without doing any proper research… let’s just say there is a good chance you‘ll end up with a lower quality watch.

You can research companies online now to get a good idea of their practices. You can find many reviews on a company by doing a quick Google search. If you are unable to find reviews, the next place to check will be with the Better Business Bureau (BBB.) There you can see if the company is registered and how many complaints have been filed against the company. Keep in mind one thing when doing this research; people are more likely to report a bad experience than they are a good one. So a large company might have numerous bad reviews, but a high rating with the BBB.

Will You Watch Be Used During Dives?

I ask this because not all Luminox watches are dive rated. All Luminox timepieces are rated to withstand of at least 50 meters, but it is highly recommended that you remove your watch before getting into the water unless you are using a dive watch.

What is Luminox Light Technology(LLT)?

Luminox is best known for its self-powered lighting technology. This proprietary system allows the watch to be used in no/low light conditions with no need for solar/battery charging. The system is so good that the timepiece is able to stay illuminated 25 years in total darkness!

Warranty Information

Luminox watches are made to be able to withstand a lot of damage. Do you think units like the seals would use them otherwise? This means that you will not have to worry about the watch possibly breaking. Having said that, Luminox offers a 2 Year Limited Warranty on all of their watches. This warranty covers replacement/repair against any defects that may arise. This does not include damage resulting from extreme use that is not included in the original manufacturer’s warranty.
