Luminox Navy Seal 3000 series watches ARE THEY WORTH IT? An honest 3 year review. Literally threw one in a lake and left it for an hour! We put these watches to the test and review how they have stood up over the last 3 years of continuous wear. Also check out my initial review from three years ago in the video linked here.

Very well made video....one of the best that I have seen on these watches. I just got a great deal on the 3003 with the blue face. This will be my second Luminox and I have nothing but great things to say about these watches so far!

I own several Luminox watches and don't understand the hate they get. I mean, I get the argument from people that they overplay the SEAL license, but I've banged mine up and they're still super solid. I even just bought the limited edition 9/11 they released, and I plan on buying one of the new Tide watches they make. I guess my only real concern would be that after the half life of the tritium is up, I wonder how much it would cost to have it re-lumed.

Gotta be honest, I was initially hesitant because of all the hate these watches get but I just had to find out for myself and as it turns out, I love em. I am definitely a Luminox loyal customer. I still only have these two but I am thinking that when the lumes fade, I'll be happy with the 10 or 15 years of loyal service and go for a change and break in a new Luminox. Thanks for watching and for the comment.

I have one of the 3003 models but in black. I have had that watch for over 19 years now. It has two scratches on the face, I've put six different batteries over the years. It is still a solid watch and tough as nails. The Tritium is almost all gone, but still a great watch.

Nice to see them holding up.I do love Luminox especially those 3000/3900 series.I've heard that some of the new models' hands will pop out if you accidentally drop them on the floor. On the other hand, the old 3000 series will hold up just fine.

Subbed and liked! I just bought my first luminox leather back sea turtle and I too love my Casios but for some reason I can’t seem to take this off my wrist! I absolutely love it! It’s so light I forget it’s even on my wrist! Second hand hit markers where it should, just a great experience, and great review on the navy seal versions! This is definitely not my last luminox!

Which sizes do you have? Also how to you choose a Luminox with the brighter green Tritium? Does the watch model description indicate the tritium color? Thanks.
@TheMaineiacguy
@TheMaineiacguy 2 года назад
I'm not sure of the sizes exactly but you can find that information at various places online, the blue one is a 3000 Series and the black and yellow one is a 3500 series. Both Navy SEAL color marks. They vary as far as the tritium vial color by model but that is something that you can usually either find on the website on the product description when you buy one before you make the purchase. Hope this helps, thanks for watching.

I purchased the Master Carbon SEAL Automatic, 45 mm, Military Dive Watch - 3863 just over a month ago and have to say it is probably my favourite watch at the moment and it is incredibly accurate, only gaining 2-3 seconds per day which is well within COSC specs. Definitely going to purchase the Black Skunk model in the near future.

Just bought the sea turtle and I definitely find I prefer the hour and minute hand to have different color tritium color just easier to read in dark while half asleep, my hour hand tritium is green and minute hand orange. I love this watch but I don't think I want a Luminox with the tritium same color on both hour and minute hand.

That is the Luminox 3003 Navy SEAL color mark. And yes the green lumes in general seem to glow a little brighter than the blue I don't know if it's just that some colors glow brighter than others or what the deal is. The blue is pretty cool too because it definitely has the cool factor going on.

Hello brother am indian. I want to repaint duracoat matte black spray my licensey pistol. Explain how to keep the company serial number written on the body of the pistol safe. Valle is the deepest engraved number. But don't get spoiled by the spray. What to do about it
@TheMaineiacguy
@TheMaineiacguy 3 года назад
Hello my friend and thank you so much for taking the time to watch and enjoy our video. In my experience DuraCoat goes on extremely thin almost like a new finish on the gun so it actually just replaces the existing finish and won't backfill any of the serial numbers or words or anything like that. So I guess the short version is to say it shouldn't create any problems with covering up the numbers or the Engravings. Hope this helps. Have a great day!

@TheMaineiacguy
@TheMaineiacguy 2 года назад
Tritium doesn't have to to charged with UV since its not thermoluminescent. Tritium is a radioactive isotope (very safe technology) so it is always charged for about 25 years. That's what makes it awesome.

@TheMaineiacguy 2 года назад
@@ganbatte1260 actually the black light that I hit it with just helps to see the tritium when its brighter in the room since its not visible to the eye when there is ambient light although its glowing 24 hours a day, we just can't see it without help. When it is completely dark though, it is VERY visible all the time . Basically you could be in a cave for weeks on end with no exposure to light and you'd still see the tritium lamps glowing. I also have a few weapon sights with tritium to aid in sight picture in dark and low light scenarios.

Bought another one 2 years ago from the official reseller in my area. Rust on the bezel, dials dropping bits of loom, looks like the gaskets not doing its job either. Right out of warrenty conviently. Whatever I wont be buying another.

The watch case is cheap plastic. The back plate cover lost it's seal after one of the screws became loose......when I attempted to gently tighten it back up, it stripped the CHEAP plastic!!!! This was a 40th birthday gift and it lasted a whopping 3 years!!!!! I had an older model that had one of the corner brackets snap off. It lasted ,6 years. My point? I have $20 Casio and Timex junk watches that still work after 40 years!!!! I've written Luminox and they said, " Send it to us and we'll give you an estimate on the cost to repair..." Uh, nope! I'll never buy another Luminox! They're built for WANNABE Navy SEALs, not those who need a tough watch.

Hmm.. all the Luminox navy seal watches I have, and I have a couple, one metal and one carbonox (aka plastic, if you want to call it that), as well as a carbonox flight watch, have screw down backs, not screw-on backs (aka the whole back is a thread, not screws)... so I guess you get what you pay for.
