 Luminox 1572 By: Luminox Average Rating: 4.5 Total Reviews: 2 More Information A really terrific watch  On: 2007-02-27I bought this watch having read a review of the illumination system. It sounded as though it was exactly what I was looking for. I have to say it is brilliant. The watch can stay in pitch darkness indefinitely yet still the hour markers and hands glow. As a practical watch for all occasions I dont think you can beat it. Superb. Great watch but ...  On: 2006-03-06They break more often than I would have expected. I have had this style Luminox watch for almost 7 years. The watch has accuracy and can take being dunked in saltwater, and has a high quality case and crystal. Over the time I have owned it, I would say the luminescence has decreased about 30% - consistent with the 12.3 year half-life of tritium. Its broken a few times and each time it was fixable. Up to now, I figure the watch, repairs, new batteries, and bands all told have cost me around $340. Just sent it in for a problem with the movement and the quoted $90 tab for repair, battery, and band convinced me to go out and buy a new watch. |
