Good watch, inaccurate desciption..., March 21, 2011
This review is from: Luminox Men's Watch 3081.BO (Watch)
This isn't a bad watch: it looks cool, the luminescent technology is excellent but be aware that this watch is NOT steel-cased (if it matters to you at all), neither it is sapphire glass (it is hardened mineral, cheaper version). Before you buy this (or any other watch from Amazon) I suggest you check with the watch manufacturer's website the technical details and whether they will acknowledge the warranty, since Amazon very often is unauthorized dealer)...
Here is the description of the watch above from [...]:
*Case material: PC carbon reinforced case
*Case back: Caseback with Screws
*Crown: Security Screw-On crown with protection
*Crystal/Glass material: Hardened Mineral
It is however a beautiful watch, I personally don't like plastic cases, even carbon reinforced ones. Luminox do make PVD coated steel ones as well, but they are more expensive (not this model).

Nice watch for Law Enforcement...need a better watch band!!!, November 13, 2011
This review is from: Luminox Men's Watch 3081.BO (Watch)
I've been in Law Enforcement for the last 14 years and a Luminox Navy seal 3900 series watch has been attached to me the whole time. The abuse that it has undergone day to day was immense. Other that sending it off for a new battery and new band every few years, its been flawless. I was ready to upgrade to a newer version as a treat to myself and because I knew Luminox was going to hold up in my line of work. I was considering the 3051.BO series (very simular to 3900 series, only blacked out) when I found the 3081.BO series w/ Chronograph. I loved the overall appearance of the watch compaired to 3051 series. The price difference was only about $40 (on amazon), so the decision was simple. I wore the watch about a week and the watch band drove me nuts! It was always coming loose at the second retraing strap for the band. A watch this nice deserves better than a crappy rubber watch band! The solution was simple....upgrading to a black stainless steel band that I bought for $50 off amazon. I am very glad I did. The watch looks nicer, is more comfortable, and I don't have any issues with the second rubber retaining strap coming loose. Great watch, looks sharp w/ uniform, needs a better watch band!

I like the Blackout, December 31, 2010
This review is from: Luminox Men's Watch 3081.BO (Watch)
I got this watch as a Christmas present. I really love it. It is Black as night, the photos do not do the watch justice. The whole watch is dark black with only different finishes to the black; brushed mat and shiny. Even the black rotating bezel has the numbers painted in shiny black. You have never seen anything like this. In bright light you can see the details on this watch, in dim light you can only see the hour marks and the 3 hands everything else is a shade of black. This is a very stealth watch.
I am keeping this but you may want to save a few bucks and buy the non chronograph version since the dials are hard to see, Luminox Evo Navy Seal Blackout Mens Watch 3051.BLACKOUT
