I was just digging around trying to figure out if my buddy’s watch he got off…uh…a *certain* website was legit, and it’s kinda a minefield. Fakespot, that’s this website that supposedly analyzes reviews, says they’ve looked at a bunch of Luminox stuff. Apparently, their grade is based on Amazon reviews where Luminox is the seller… or *says* it’s the seller. So, already, you’re thinking, “Hmmm.”
Then you see stuff like “Luminox that doesn’t glow?!” Like, come on! The whole point is that tritium glow, isn’t it? What are you even paying for if it doesn’t glow? That’s a HUGE red flag, obvi. I mean, Luminox even brags about their partnership with the Navy SEALs since, like, 1993! They’ve been fine-tuning these watches for years, supposedly making them “first line gear.” So, yeah, you’d expect them to, ya know, *work*.
But then you get into the whole “Real or Fake Frogman?” thing. Dude, I saw a video where some guy was unboxing a 25th Anniversary Navy SEAL watch…and then comparing an Invicta Pro Diver to a Rolex Submariner. Like, what does *that* have to do with anything?! It’s just confusing! It’s all over the place.
And then there’s the whole water-resistance thing. 200 meters? CARBONOX™ case? Sounds tough, right? But is that just marketing fluff? I mean, I doubt *I’m* going 200 meters underwater anytime soon, but I want to know it *could* handle it, ya know?
