I broke few Luminox watches in the past and wanted to switch to anything else but Luminox unfortunately once you get used to the illumination there is no going back. I experimented with Chase Durer UDT watch but that didn't feel right. Its metal band was either too loose or too tight and since my wrist has different thickness especially after full day of paddling on the river or carrying the patient down 10 flight of stairs I gave up on that. I tried Marathon Navigator but with it's dome crystal after few weeks my watch looked like a 10 yo piece. I went back to Luminox but instead of buying the usually "all plastic" model I got the one with carbon fiber. It is holding well so far. I also like Seiko Divers even if illumination sucks. For some reason I prefer bands like Rino (RIP) and nylon straps but in my field where there is a lot of body substances I can't wear them and need rubber straps.

I like the Suunto time pieces but they eat a lot of power and are big.
