Luminox 3051 Blackout Edition - 1 Year Update

[larrydonnelly1]

I've got the GShock, 3 Luminox, and 2 Pathfinders but end up with the Luminox yellow Colormark on my arm 24/7. I hardly know it's there, but the real kicker for me is; my vision isn't what it used to be and this is the ONLY watch that I can read day or night without glasses. Also, neither the GShock nor the Pathfinder are visible at night. Thanks for the vid...I just ordered this watch and suspect it will be my new buddy.

@larrydonnelly1 You're welcome. I think you will like it.

[nynoname1]

how durable are these watches? can you really dive with them?

[noBuzzkillin]

@nynoname1 Its a good watch. If you want ULTRA durable, get a casio or something else with no moving parts.

[nynoname1]

@noBuzzkillin thanks, i ended up getting one as a christmas gift and i really like it!

[robin6512]

I have a luminox, what runs now for 7 years with no problem. chged the bat only once. I always, ALWAYS, wear it. never ever skipped a second =). In short: happy with it.

[noBuzzkillin]

@robin6512 Good to hear.

[NeoNSPETSNAZ]

@robin6512

Have you noticed any dimming of the tritium?

[robin6512]

@NeoNSPETSNAZ no not really. but I think you will not notice it anyway cause it goes so slow.

[fuzzylumps1]

I have one of these and love it, but the original band was garbage. I ripped the pins out of it in under a month. I got a tougher one just like yours online and have had great luck with it since then

[noBuzzkillin]

@fuzzylumps1 They seem to be pretty good watched..

[032125]

$200 bucks for a watch that has managed to go around for a whole year? I paid $90 for a G-Shock that has kept nuclear perfect time for nine years, and it also never runs out of batteries (being solar powered). For $200 I'd expect some serious functionality (Altimeter, barometer, compass, alarms, stopwatch, and so on).

Love your channel, I'm glad that you like the watch, but 200 bucks to go around in circles? Really? I just don't get it. I'll stick to Casio.

[noBuzzkillin]

@032125 Haha.. I have a Pathfinder that I really like too, but sometimes I just want something that spins around and tells time, you know? I like the simplicity of a simple time piece as well.

[kwgunworks]

Great watch, I have the same watch man!

[noBuzzkillin]

@kwgunworks Seems well liked all around. I know my local gunstore has started selling them too, and I'm sure they're selling pretty well.

[TheTactical6string]

I need me one.

[noBuzzkillin]

@TheTactical6string Haha..

[thestubby0032]

Man I love my luminox 3000 series. Light, accurate as hell, and tough. The only thing I had to do was change the rubber straps cause the were starting to crack. I wear this every day at work. Put a very light weight metal band on it, and man it just keeps goin!! Almost 3 yrs now. Love it! My $1500 Tag sits in drawer lol

[noBuzzkillin]

@thestubby0032 Yeah, they seem to hold up really nice ove time. The strap on this one seems to be holding up nicely so far. I like the overall design pretty well. Thanks formstopping by Stubby.. Hope all is well my friend.

[ebomey]

Damn nice watch!

Thanks "C".

[noBuzzkillin]

@ebomey Thanks for watching EBoo.. Is it gay to call you that?? Haha

[ebomey]

@noBuzzkillin

Very... but coming from you I kind of like it! :-)

[noBuzzkillin]

@ebomey Dammit E! You seem to out-homo me every time!

[ebomey]

@noBuzzkillin

I have nothing on but bad intentions!

[lskw1]

man i bet that was alot of weight leaning up against that car...lol just messin with ya.. its lookin good man, if you told me it was a week old i would have believed you..

[noBuzzkillin]

@lskw1 Hey man, I'm not the one who needed to get reinforced concrete columns to support my toilet just so I can sit down and lay some cable! Plus, as an old timer, I shouldn't be chastized for battling with some tender, yet stubborn belly fat!! Hahaha...

[lskw1]

@noBuzzkillin hahaha

[sungwei9]

Thing looks brand new still!

[noBuzzkillin]

@sungwei9 Its true.. Kinda funny.

[SEALofthefuture1962]

I have this model but in OD green. I had a previous Luminox but lets just say it was abused and its glass "popped out" haha. My father has the same one I had before and has had it for about 8-9 years. Still works, tritium is glowing still.

[noBuzzkillin]

@SEALofthefuture1962 Nice.

[UrbanPaperTiger]

I love my Luminoxes. I don't own a blackout but after your review, I will. Thanks,

[noBuzzkillin]

@UrbanPaperTiger Haha..

[mrblisterfist]

$238.88 + free shipping on Amazon

[noBuzzkillin]

@mrblisterfist yes.

[brucenunn37]

Sweet.. i saw some like that in my new Midwayusa Master calolog.

[noBuzzkillin]

@brucenunn37 Thanks for watching.

[brucenunn37]

@noBuzzkillin i received that comp range bag in mail the other day from Midway usa.. and i love it..  Nice and well made bag. alot bigger than i thought it was but very nice..

[OilTheGun]

Nice watch. Haven't worn one since I started carrying a cell phone 10 years ago, but I always enjoy a NBK video.

[noBuzzkillin]

@OilTheGun I'm just an old fashioned girl..

[NeoNSPETSNAZ]

Have you noticed any dimming of the tritium illumination?

[noBuzzkillin]

@NeoNSPETSNAZ nope.

[NeoNSPETSNAZ]

@noBuzzkillin

Okay, thank you. Mine seems to be dimmer (after four months) then when I first bought it, but who knows how long it was on the shelf?

[ArtisanTony]

I love my Caiso Pathfinder! I thought that was the watch you wear? Nice video!

[noBuzzkillin]

@ArtisanTony Yes, me too! I got one of those several months ago, but I don't wear it every day. I'd like to do a vid on it at some point after a little more time. One thing that drive me crazy on the PF is how quickly the light goes off, even set at its longest setting of 3 seconds.. drives me NUTS at night.

[TheJmac1983]

Nice I like the look of that Im looking at the Suunto Core might be getting that soon

[noBuzzkillin]

@TheJmac1983 Suunto's look really cool. I'd like to see one in the flesh.

[TheJmac1983]

@noBuzzkillin they are used by our troops I might be getting one very soon Ill let you check it out when I do

[NeoNSPETSNAZ]

@TheJmac1983

Luminoxes or Suuntos, or both are used?

[TheJmac1983]

@NeoNSPETSNAZ Im positive Suunto's are used by our troops i.e. the CORE part in the Suunto Core is in honor of our troops not sure on any other brands but if noBuzzkillin says its good I would trust it he will always give a very honest assessment
