Luminox Men's 6204 EVO Steel SEAL Watch

WOW, this watch is even more massive than my  Seiko Men's "Black Monster" Automatic Dive Watch #SKX779K1 ! Very heavy, with a huge face, this watch domiantes one's wrist. The face is much larger than that on my  Luminox Men's Original Navy SEAL Dive Watch #3013 . The face is very easy to see in all lighting conditions, however please note that the watch face is MUCH darker that normally pictured. The magical radioactive gas filled tubes on the face, hands, and bezel are what really set of this watch (and every other Luminox!) apart, with a bright glow that never needs "recharging". The down side, of course, is that the glow will die out in about 25 years when the tritium is expended. Best of all, the quartz action is amazing accurate.Why did I rate it only 4 stars? Because I couldn't rate it at 4.99 stars! What holds it back from getting 5 stars? The lack of some features that a watch of this price SHOULD have like a day display and/or a magnifier over the date.Keep in mind two things that are intentionally missing from this watch, an automatic movement and a sweep second hand. This is intended to be a military watch...precise timing, ruggedness, and easy viewing are the most critical requirements of a military watch. It's cool to watch a sweep second hand gracefully make it's way around a watch face, but when precise timing is required for a military op, you really want to see that solid "tick" as the second moves to each marker. An automatic movement, of the same precision would have made this watch way more expensive. An affordable automatic movement would also probably not have a hack function, which is required to precisely sync several watches.The one thing I dislike about this watch is that the bezel is almost impossible to turn. Please note that this might be specific to my watch, and not to the entire 6200 series.

This is my second Luminox watch; first was a casual dive watch. The EVO 6204 goes far beyond in style, design, and beauty, great for business wear or diving your favorite wreck (200m water resistant). Pros; My former 20/16 vision is not as sharp as it used to be now that I am on the back side of 50.. This watch is readable without glasses at 03:00.. and in fine Luminox tradition, the face illumination could light a pathway on a zero illum night... The case and band is made of high grade stainless steel; this is a large watch, very impressive in every way... The face is a much deeper blue than the photo typically presents.. You will not be disappointed.

I have not been able to find all of the features this watch has anywhere else in its price range. The saphire crystal, 10 year battery, locking expandable bracelet, and swiss movement would cost several times more from the next competitor. The glowing gas markers are the kicker. You can tell time in the middle of a pitch black night.This model is heavy though, about a pound of stainless makes a rolex feel weightless by comparison. Still, I find time to wear each of these fine watches.

The watch is beautiful. It would be nice to have a date of manufacture included, especially in a watch like this where the tritium tubes have a certain lifetime of use. Very happy with watch and seller

I have owned this watch for more than 10 years now, only thing replaced was the battery (2) times, it has Never lost time in all those years, the only thing that has changed is the price, I bought it for $300.00 now $695. and it is 100% Swiss movement, A Great Watch, the glass tubes still glow bright, an it's still keeping perfect time after 10 years.

I purchased this watch from MyTimepiece and within the month the locking hinge in the clasp had broken. I tried to find a local jeweler that could repair it but found that it HAD to be shipped to one jeweler in RI. Suprise, the clasp is not warranted even if it breaks the first time you open it it will cost you $50 to replace it and 12.95 shipping/handling. I realize that "things" get by manufacturers but at this price there should be no excuse not to repair/replace it within at least the first 90 days. If you buy this understand that this is a weak point in this watch and their warranty is no better than the paper it is written on. At this price range I highly recommend spending the extra money and getting an Omega.

I love the watch. The Blue is very deep on the face. All in all a good buy.
