This Casio will leave you with a lot of leftover cash for beer and ammo.
You are correct, Luminox is fragile. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: This Casio will leave you with a lot of leftover cash for beer and ammo. You are correct, Luminox is fragile. That is approximately the same as the Casio I have been wearing for a couple of decades. I'm hard on everything and that watch just takes a beating. The band could be more comfortable, especially on the arm that has aftermarket metal rods embedded in the bones. |

Stay away from Luminox. I've had multiples and will replace my current one with a Casio. I'd highly consider any Casio in that price range and whatever you have left buy more Castios haha. Bertucci has some nice field watchs for the money also. You might be able to find a nice used Citizen or Seiko in your price range as well.

I've had this for close to 20 years, it's seen numerous batteries, a couple crystals and this is it's third band.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Those look good . So they hold up well ? No watch for $100-200 will “hold up” well…. They’re disposable watches that are designed to sell more straps that won’t stand heavy long term use |

I had good luck for 7 years or so with a blacked out Citizen Eco-Drive, it survived snorkeling, heavy backyard use, multiple drops from the top rack on deployment....everything but a trip on the back of my tailgate two weeks ago
 Since it was totally blacked out, the lume brightness just didn't exist but during the daytime it was just fine.

Quote HistoryQuoted: This Casio will leave you with a lot of leftover cash for beer and ammo. You are correct, Luminox is fragile. I buy one of those (casio) every 10 years. Because the battery lasts 10 years (sometimes 12). And I can't break it. I have broken Timex, Tag-Heuer, Seiko and numerous other high end brands. These I cannot break. |

Look into Armourlite, they're a smallish outfit but their Isobrite line has been great for me, I replaced my titanium cased Luminox with an Iso3001 and love it. Probably a little out of budget, but if you find a used one its close. I bought a couple used ones for +/- $200, sent then off for $50 service and gave them as gifts to a couple good friends. Customer support is top notch too.

 My Victorinox INOX mechanical is a beast. A bit slow at -7sec per day but takes field work like champ. The Quartz ones are quite a bit tougher than my mechanical. Good looking, too!
