Lum-Tec Solar MarinevsResco Stainless Red

Lum-Tec Solar Marine owners praise its all-black diver design, excellent lume, and rugged, tank-like build. One owner finds it a perfect fit for a 7-inch wrist and the most frequently worn watch despite its smaller size. However, one owner cautions that the PVD coating will wear and chip within a year, impacting its appearance, and another finds the price high for a solar quartz watch with added lume. On balance, owners rate the Lum-Tec Solar Marine highly for its robust design and excellent lume, despite concerns about PVD durability and value proposition.

Owners report mixed experiences with Resco's customer service and product durability. One owner encountered issues with crown threading and a subsequent partial refund, while another experienced rust near the crown on a different model, which the company attributed to normal wear. However, another owner praised the brand's durability and customer service after a severe accident. The Resco Stainless Red features a 44mm case and 200m water resistance. Overall, owners are split on the brand's service and product resilience, with some praising durability and others encountering specific issues.
