- Are Lum-Tec watches all they're cracked up to be? Does the lume live up to the hype? And do they represent a good value in this overcrowded sector of overbuilt micro-brand sport watches? Let's take a look.
Your review was very helpful for a future purchase. I really appreciate the time into this especially from someone who designs watches. Thanks.
I just bought the 350M-2 version of this watch series a couple months ago (same strap latching system). It is a eye popper for $800.00 and I love their watches! Its a great company for the price range compared to bigger watch maker companies
I've had my Super Combat B1 for almost 3 years. I now own 2 LUM-TEC pieces. The B1 I wear everyday and when I remember to wind it, it is remarkably accurate. The other LUM-TEC I gave to my son for his birthday
where can I see & buy them?
Hey Jim... nice work. You are one of the best regarding talking watches. Wish you’d do more of these videos. You’ve inspired me to start my own channel.
Thanks for the detailed review. Because of your video I just pick up this exact watch from Ebay in mint condition for less then $400. Its on my wrist now and its a great watch- the Lume is amazing. thanks again for recommending this.
Thanks Jim, love my Combat B18 just got it last week and it's glued to my wrist now!!
This is the best watch review I have ever seen. Very honest, and informative. I love that you did a lume test against Deep Blue (who as you said have really good lume). If the non XL version ever gets in the $500 price range it is as good as bought by me. Thanks
Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it! I think you'll also enjoy my two newest uploads as well.
Great review Jim! I purchased one of these when it first came out and have worn it a lot in the summer. It still looks and functions just as it did when it first arrived after a few years of hard use. The lume is by far the best of any watch I have owned! Highly recommended!
How's it holding up?
I recently purchased a Combat B44 Chrono! Super high quality piece, as they all are. Great company making watches right here in USA! Can't beat that!
Worth every penny and why anyone would want to send their hard earned money to China over keeping it here I'll never know. 👍🇺🇲👍
I'm 100% with you. Just discovered this watch brand. I think it may be the next watch I buy.
Yes, first video Im seeing and I like your channel. Subscribed. I also like the fact you designed your ow watch as I am researching that avenue. On top of that, it's cool.
PERFECT VIDEO...
PERFECT AUDIO ....
Love listening to your voice, really communicative and informative ..
Great details,
Just perfect.
Very nice! Love the lume...however, I would've used a third color -- orange, on the second hand.
I agree with you, for the money i would expect a 28,800 bph movement. I will take a Steinhart Ocean One over the LumTec.
Steinhart looks like a good homage watch
Very cool you compared it to your own watch. Shows your integrity.
+Scott Brenton Thanks very much. I learned a valuable lesson when I made the Hyperdive... cover the lume in the bezel or it can crack and come out. Lum-Tec already handled that very well. I am also taking queues from them on going even more extreme on the lume application. They really made a solid watch here.
I wonder how the lume on this is compared to the Seiko tuna, which is highly considered to be the brightest in the Seiko line-up
I like this watch a lot, but as a 16 year old kid I think I will stick to Seiko for a while.
Very good review. Especially thankful for the info and comparison for size.
Will get my first Lum Tec n Dec.
Great review. Looking to buy one of these off my friend. Glad his is the 40mm; 45mm would've been a deal killer.
It's now made with the miyota 9015. Could it be the perfect watch in it's price range now?
I wish this came in titanium and more colorways
And the watch overall is fantastic, but yes, I agree with you...the price is too high. $500-600 is just about right.
Hi. Do you know how much is from lug to lug ??
How do u charge it I bought one put it up few yrs now it’s not wrkn
alright you won me over . I'm ordering right now. Thanks for your review. Any idea how long the lume last ?
Just now seeing this, by now you should have it, and I hope you like it as much as I do. I haven't really tested the duration of the lume, but I would think it's visible all night long.
+5 Minute Watch Review
It last a few hours is all. It is a very nice watch I have it on now. The lume is best charged by sunlight . But it will fade over a few hours to where you can see the lume but cannot make out the time . I am very happy with my purchase of this watch thanks too your review . Cheers
After a few hours, you can't make out the time even after your eye is adjusted to the darkness?
Sorry to ask. What is the Brand you design and sell?
I have the Abyss, though when i post it on my high end edc carry pics i catch some flak. It seems like the watch snobs get huffy when you post Lum-Tec. Though they go ape shit when i post a Base 22.
Ill always support Lum-Tec, there resale value is only matched by the highest of brands.
where can you buy them and where can find out the prices ?
can you send watches into lum-tec to get lumed up?
the Shumate Divers have 50 layers of lume on them and its rediculous in its lume also if 8 is like that think about 50 layers of superluminova for about same price and has 9915 movement in it...
just saying great lume too
The problem with shumate is the ugly design
Phoibos the micro company out of China is now putting out divers for $300 with 12 layers of BGW9 Superluminova...can't be beat for the money!
nice watch.is there a 42 mm version?
+Richard Lu A 40mm, which will wear larger, more like a 43mm
5 Minute Watch Review
TAKE! MY! MONEY!
if this had a Miyota 9015 (which isn't all the much more expensive than an NH35 but it's 3-4 times better) in it, and they made it 1-2mm thinner (possible with the much thinner Miyota), it would've been worth the money
as it is, even back in 2016, this is nowhere near worth the money and today you can find better for less than half the price
Lum is out of this world but an nh35 movement? Invicta uses this movement for their 100 dollar Pro Diver. But man that Lum though. Perplexed for sure lol. Not knocking the movement though. Just an observation.
Will we ever see an actual review of your Hyperdrive???!!!!
+Man Cave Would that be all that fair? it's his watch.
+landlubber12 and I'm assuming you have a point here? Who gives a shit? It's a watch, you can buy. And this was a question for Jim, thanks.
+Man Cave Are you stupid? Do you not think that someone would be more inclined to give a positive review to a product that they essentially created? That is my point, if you were wondering.
Hyperdive. Not here but I did a video on them before I released them over on my main channel (knife channel). It wasn't a review because I couldn't be unbiased, but it was a detailed overview.
While its sold out, I did do a lengthy video and written review over on the Watchreport channel and website if you want to check it out, in case if you are looking for one on used market and want to see a review.
Gorgeous watch but those end links hang out so far that you couldn't wear it if you don't have an 8'' wrist!!! why havent they designed it so more people can wear it?? poor design IMO!
That's some awesome lume!
Use gloves dude...
$750 and no ETA or sellita fuck that yes seiko movements are reliable but not worth a price tag of $750 😂
XL yeah it's 45mm..... Haha I'm out.
45mm is small not big...I like my Aragon Automatic 55mm
Lmao your watch is too big for people.
I don't like the thin/flimsy painted hands, they look cheap to me
Thanks for the "f-bomb". My nephew's NINE year old son was watching this with me, as I guide him through the beginnings of his watch passion.
We frequent MANY watch-related RUclips channels... and have seen 200+ videos... YOU get the "prize" for the first vulgar exclamation. Does it occur to you that someone other than trailer trash may see your videos? THUMB DOWN.
yeah it is a crap movement,do not go crazy folks,avoid it for this kind of money omg
