I've owned one of these since I, too, purchased it new from Argos in approximately the early 1990s, and that's no joke, and it's still going strong all these years later. The only thing I've had to replace besides batteries, of course, is the strap, but I purchased a new original replacement, so it's just as it was back then. I still have its original box and sleeve. The box back then came in a long grey rectangular plastic one the same length as the watch, when the watch is laid flat down in its box. The Lumibrite is still going strong, and as far as I can tell, there has been no deterioration of the lume at all. People have commented how bright the lume is in the evenings. It's a great companion after all these years, and the time is always bob on. It will carry on long after I've gone, I'm sure, so long as the batteries are replaced, which unfortunately they can't do with people to keep them going forever. 👍🙂
I'm on my third Lorus Lumibright. I'm a tradesman and it's quite funny that we all buy the same watch from Argos. Best there is . Clear and to the point.
This watch is an iconic classic yes the actual casing is 37mm BUT WHAT A DIAL ITS A SERIOUS LUME MONSTER...The best LUME watch i own by far....With having black hands legability is spot on....The original strap is ok for the price point but very short for any wrist over 6.5 inch wrist...Ive got mine on a camo bund strap at the moment... But 18mm theres plenty of strap options for this ....Great review....
Two of them! Have to admit I can see why, it is a fantastic watch to own and wear on a daily basis. Hope you enjoy yours in good health!! Cheers, Tony - WTA
Field watches have been my “flavour of the season” and I’ve acquired many budget TIMEX field styled watches including Expeditions and Weekenders. Unfortunately Lorus isn’t available here in India. Its closest match is MDC Infantry which is priced around $55 which costs much less in the other countries.
I have this one in my collection is a great watch very light on the wrist after charging the Lum it will glow all night makelng it easy to tell the time in the dark the only thing I find is the strap is a bit small for my wrist
These watches and dials are amazing. Have bought them a number of times over the years. The only problem is that they are TINY. I wish I had small enough wrists to carry them off. I would wear one all the time.
The Casio W735 is a fantastic watch to own with that very useful vibrating alarm. I prefer the w735 over the AEQ-110 which I do fans a bit too busy for my liking. Cheers for commenting, Tony - WTA

Went straight out and bought it after seeing your review. Thanks, mate, it is great.
You are very welcome and I hope you enjoy it in good health!

A great watch. Toby Jones he wears one in The Detectorists series 😊
I got this a couple months back excellent lume that's last for hours
Like the watch but 2 gripes the case size 37mm is too small and the strap absorbs sweat so quite funky.
Case size is great@James-m6l6f
I've had it for many years already and love it ⌚ highly recomended
Hi, Tony I bough two of them because I was that impressed, no wonder they are good they are part of Seiko

I really like mine. Needed a field watch in the collection. This is a great review of a great value watch.
Got one of these as a work watch and it's been faultless, replaced the strap. I own some nice watches but still really like this, amazing value
Getting one today - Argos ❤

wow... i want one, sadly cant find it for the states!

Nice watch
I like the drilled lugs 👍⌚
I swapped out the strap on mine for a leather one.good lum.also have the titanium version which is even lighter.
Sekonda do a pilot watch similar to this , cream dail, black and black and blue dial.
Do a comparison between a sekonda and lorus.
Water resistance I think is different.
Brilliant little watch, I replaced the mineral with crystal for £11 from Aliexpress.
The watch is nice but stuck with the Casio w735 didn't have telememo like the aeq 110w but the watch wore nicer to my 15cm wrist.

Nice review
Nice watch but too small for my wrist..I opted for the Casio W - 96H in the Argos sale...and at £11.00 is a bargain ⌚😊
It is small but I got used to it.
I'm just disappointed about fragile mineral glass
I bought this watch after listening to the review’s. The time piece is ok, but the luminous part is very poor.
You are very welcome!

The face of the dial is covered in Seiko Lumibrite, can stay visible for hours, and you think that's 'very poor'?
They copied the infamous ' soki ' from AliExpress 😅
Just playing 😄
‘Mutter, mutter, mutter…cos you don’t have to’….interesting video but you might want to tidy up your intro…❤
