Pros: Looks great and is very light
Cons: Cosmetic failure and second hand fell off face.
The Bottom Line: Do I recommend Luminox??? Uh, NO!!!! Looks great and is light, but I have a hard time believing the Seals use this brand without problems.

| micway71's Full Review: Luminox Evo Navy Seal Colormark #3059 Watch for Me... |
I loved the watch when I purchased it several months ago. Then all of a sudden I noticed the second hand fell from the face and the numbers on the bezel were wiping off. I wore the watch for fashion and light duty work for EMS, nothing crazy like a Navy Seal. I was very surprised that I had two problems.
Since this was a Luminox, I did not save the warranty information and quite frankly I was just busy and never bothered keeping the receipt for my purchase (BIG MISTAKE)!!
I made contact with Luminox about having it repaired and ONLY because it is one of my favorites watches. Luminox only provides a year warranty on their junk which I would have been fine if I would have kept my receipt. Funny how I have several Fossil brand watches and they warranty theirs for ten years. Speaking of Fossil, never had any problems whatsoever out of their brand.
The certified jewelery in Rhode Island, sent me an estimate to replace the bezel and repair the second hand and to ship it back for a total of $65.00 not to mention I spent $10 shipping it to them.
Even a year warranty tells me that Luminox does not trust their brand well enough to provide longer terms. I would suggest everyone that wants a Luminox to save their warranty because they may need it or simply buy a similar watch for its intended purpose!
Buyer beware of these only in looks beauties. Deep down they are UGLY!!
