I recently purchased through Amazon the Luminox 8802 Navy Seal 20th Anniversary 8802 Black/Graphite Dial watch. The design of this model is understated compared to some other Luminox models. I am a fan of Luminox, but frankly some models are too garish IMHO. I was looking for a good quality watch that does what I need without confusing me with extras I neither want or use.
This watch doesn't have the "WOW! Look at me!" that many people prefer. The watch excells in low light and dark conditions. Unlike many other watches, the Luminox doesn't need an external source for its luminosity. It is however the watch of choice when your buddy can't see the hands on their own watch and is constantly asking you for the time.
The strap is rubber and is comfortable. I don't know if a stainless steel bracelet is available.
If I could change a couple of features it would be making the calendar a little bigger (to help my aging eyes), and have a screwdown crown. If your are looking for a watch with all the bells and whistles with multple funtions this isn't it. Overall however, for a good looking low key everyday watch, Luminox has a winner.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surpassed my expectations, August 9, 2010

I got my 8802 as a gift for my birthday. It really is a great watch.
I had read a lot of reviews on Luminox watches that stated the gas capsules had come loose inside the face or fallen off. Even some that have said they got water inside the watch.

I haven't had any of those issues. A week after I got the watch I used it in some rough salt water conditions. The watch got its share of salt and sand abuse.
Immediately after the bezel dial became hard to turn but after submerging it in fresh water and rotating the dial a few times, the sand and salt came free.

The watch looks great. Its very unassuming and not as gaudy as some of the other luminox watches that have over accented tick marks and numbers.

The band is longer then I anticipated and requires the use of the second keeper. I don't have many watches with bands this long but I understand the long band allows it to be worn over clothing etc.

Its very solid and a lot lighter then it looks. I imagine that is because of the polycarbonate/carbon fiber material.

The illumination is noticeable in indoors and dusk like conditions, not just in total darkness.

The only minor knock on the watch is that the face and numbers are so muted that if you are looking at it from an angle or if there is glare you lose the ability to see the numbers. The illuminated indicators are still very visible, so telling time isn't an issue at all, its simply a cosmetic issue.

This watch is everything you expect from Luminox. I was surprised at how light it is for the size of it. That would be the carbon fibre casing I guess. It is a large dial that is easy to read and the dial glows well in the dark. I like the grey face. Not black but not flashy.

I think I prefer the original strap to the new Evo strap. I find this one gets a bit sweaty when warm. The watch is fairly thick so if you are looking for a slim, low profile watch, you need to buy something else.

All in all a good purchase. A very manly device for weekend wear that should stand up to whatever you get into.
