I've owned 4 Luminox watches and must say the tube life is exaggerated. Out of the 4, all died within 10 years. This is a hard sell since that is the best part of their watches. I will no longer drop that type of money into Luminox.

The half-life of Tritium is 12,3 years. It's electron (or Beta)-emission (what causes the luminous material the glass vial is coated with to glow) after 12,3 years is 50% of when 'new'. But: after 24,6years it is not 0% but 25%, after 36,9 years it's 12,5%, and so on. So it should still emit light after 37 years, but 12% of the original luminosity is just not really noticeable. Realistically 20 years is a reasonable stretch.

I just ordered one of these as a “travel watch.” Agree with your assessment - the value is there on whole. There are other watches with better clasps/bands; some with arguably better components/movement, but the aesthetics sold me: blend of sport & style.

I guess it is worth that much. I just sold a month old 3137 for $625 USD. It's unique today for a Luminox.

@royk9028

Some guy is selling it for 375$. Is it good at this price?

Luminox customer service is a joke! Impossible to get ahold of anyone at Luminox. They won't even return emails.

I paid $595 for my Lum-Tec with a Swiss ETA movement. This isn’t worth half the asking price.

Spot on review. I've owned this watch and I don't think this watch is worth the $700. At $300 it would be a good deal but the movement, the bracelet and the T-25 tubes instead of T-100, do not make it a watch in the $700 price range. The size is actually larger if you take into account the bulges on the case and the bracelet is not very comfortable.

I ordered this watch and was excited to receive it but was turned off my the movement as those are my selling points for watches. Thank you for pointing out the quality of movement of this as it could of for sure be equipped with something better or more appealing to me. At glance it’s decent but after examining it’s a pass

Thanks for your comment about the cheap movement! It really does not fit in that environment.

Good watch, the bracelet needs more taper, and the clasp needs some pushers (hate friction) but not bad overall! And agreed about the solar and radio control, it should ideally have it at this price.
