I bought this watch for the illumination. My son has a similar Luminox which is all black and only has every other hour illuminated. This watch is much easier to read by comparison due to the gray rather than black face. Yet it's still very subdued in appearance. I really like the illumination, super easy to read in the dark, especially with the twelve-o-clock position being a different color and every hour being illuminated. Additionally, all three hands and the index on the rotating bezel are very readable in the dark. The Bezel itself has a very nice one way ratchet at every minute but it's a little hard to read the numbers due to the lack of contrast coloration of the markings. In general the watch feels rugged and well made but also light weight and comfortable on my average size wrist. I have used it during water sports and swimming with no issues. It's rated at 200 meters but I would be hesitant to use it for scuba diving due to the absence of a screw down crown. It seems to keep good time, to the second, compared to my Seiko Prospex Dive watch. I would consider this a very nice sport watch. I really like the lighter weight and the low light illumination is beyond compare even to my trusty Seiko.
