@Timespartan111 I haven't done any firearms classes with this watch. The most I've shot with it on was with a .45 and that was about 200 rounds with 100 of those rounds as fast as I could dump the mags. I was testing a 1911 I built. I haven't had any issues with the function of the watch. BTW I now have two scratches on the face. They are both light but I have other watches that have mineral crystal faces that I have been harder on and they have no scratches.
@james1375446 Do the scratches get annoying? BTW Do you think it can handle full auto on a .223 and rapid semi shooting of a .308 without getting scratches.
@Timespartan111 The scratches aren't that annoying. I'm sure the scratches were from me getting in and out of the patrol car and scuffing it against my duty belt all the time. Not sure if the internals could handle full auto or not to be honest. Might call up luminox and ask them that one. sorry not more help on that. the sapphire crystal is the way to go if you can find a watch with that.

I'm asking myself before buying one of those Luminox watches is tritum in the capsules properly isolated from the rest of the watch. If it isn't it could harm us, and in the long run drasticaly damage our health. Does anyone know something about that?
@sammyjs1983 I personally like to hang it from the watch strap itself when I'm wearing it. That way I can show people the price when they ask about the watch. J/K
Also I like how the tritium vials are high contrast with the black bcakground...I actually think that they would seem to glow brighter at night than the plain 3051.
Do you take your watch off when taking a shower or swimming? All of my previous watches have began retaining water due to bangs and pretty much never taking them off. I have never owned a luminox thats why I ask.
I take it off for showering but leave it on for swimming. I'm not an avid swimmer but I haven't had any problems with it so far. I have a similar watch made by Tawatec, I wore it in the shower and the only problem I had was that the tritium on the bezel at the 12 position actually came out. I guess all the showering made the glue come loose. Sorry i'm not more help.
@chikasucia I have the no blackout version of 3050. And I didn't put them down from my hand for approx. a half year. They still look like new. I swim at least once a week. Shower with them. Kite in them, and was the last two weeks in salt water very frequently.
I ripped one of the band holders. And when I was by the sea in hot temperatures it got foggy sometimes. They run approx. a second ahead in two weeks.
Do you think this can take the shock from shooting? Ive had cheap watches before that have the time handles become loose from shooting with them on

How small can you tighten the strap? I have really small wrists and want to make sure it fits snugly. Thanks, and congrats on the purchase!
