Honestly, I don't see many Luminox watches around the military community. They made their name by making their ' Navy Seal' watch for one team at the request of their commander. They are not the 'official' watch of anything. The few I have seen were not all that impressive. I think I've seen maybe 3 or 4, but I do know every one I have seen has been missing the luminous dot on the bezel from falling out. Maybe others have had different experiences. I mostly see Marathon, Suunto and G Shocks. For a tough dive watch that will last, you can't go wrong with Marathon SAR. At the 'couple hundred bucks' price range, a Seiko SKX007 is hard to beat as well. They are tough and rated at WR200 meters. Good luck with your search and let us know what you decide on!

I looked at the seiko- couldn't find a blackout version in the same model you mentioned.

closest I could find to something I like. Still a good watch?

You might want to check out Nixon watches. They are really nice and they are ment for surfing, diving and most watersports. I'm extremely satisfied with my Nixon.

I didn't realize the Nixon was much much better than the others I have had breaking. I will keep looking for a blackout version.

Sorry, I missed that you were looking for a blacked out watch. The only 2 that come to mind to me are Luminox and MWC, as both make blacked out watches with tritium. No experience here with MWC, but might be worth a look. Suunto watches are all digital. Nixon makes decent watches that fall more Into the fashion category, might not work for what you looking for.

purchased 16 years ago as a work watch for $35 Been through 3 wristbands and 2 batteries. Works like a champ and not too bulky.

I would take it to a jeweler that specializes in high end watches. Many have a good watchmaker or horologist in house. This isn't the guy at the mall who changes batteries on a Seiko.

Was kinda interested when it was announced. I have a hard enough time taking a liking to Quartz and digital watches. I can't get my head wrapped around a watch that has to be charged nightly and has no mechanical redeeming value whatsoever.
