There are two types of watches that everyone needs to know about. Luminox and G Shock. These brands offer a wide variety of styles, colors, features, and price ranges for the consumer to choose from. The first question you should ask yourself is what type of watch do I want? Do I want something more low-profile or something more flashy? Once you’ve answered these questions, the process can be much easier for finding your perfect watch!
Luminox watches are an excellent choice for those that want a high-quality timepiece with the bonus of durability, reliability, and affordability. G Shock is also a great option if you’re looking for something more rugged or need features like weather forecasting. Whichever watch you choose, we hope this article has helped you in your decision process!
1)Price:
The price is one of the most important features of purchasing a new watch. The price is based on many factors, both internal and external to the company. It has been shown that consumers will purchase a product that costs less more often than they will purchase an item that meets or exceeds their expectations for quality at a higher price point. This makes sense because when we buy something expensive, we often have second thoughts about it and compare it with other options before spending our money.
To do this comparison, we must 1) know what options there are, 2) be able to afford them 3) see if any of those cheaper or better products would suit us better (are we willing to save up for them?) Offering high-quality timepieces at low prices is an effective way for companies to attract consumers. Luminox, a watch company that makes very inexpensive watches that are very well respected by others in the industry, including G Shock, does just this. They have prices starting from $50 and go up to $500. While these price points may seem incredibly cheap to some people, they may not be enough to lure in other people who want higher quality timepieces even if they cost more money because of their reputation.
2)Design:
The design of a product is also an important factor in what type of consumer will be attracted to the product and why. Design can come down to whether or not a person likes any parts of the design more than anything else about it. For example, if someone likes how the band is designed or the bezel on a watch, they are more likely to choose that product instead of another one with similar features but a different design.
The competing company G Shock has a very distinct design compared to other watches. It’s popular due to its “tough guy” look and extremely durable movements and designs which make it withstand shock from falls, water immersion, and many tough conditions while still keeping accurate time. Luminox takes an opposite approach to their designs, unlike G Shock, in my opinion, because they have very sleek-looking watches that could appeal to people who like things that focus more specifically on looks than durability or accuracy (although their watches are also both of those things).
3)Movement:
Luminox uses Auto light technology, which is the core of the illumination in these watches. It only requires movement to generate light on its own, making it completely self-powered and doesn’t need any batteries to provide bright light during nighttime. In contrast, G shock uses a different radio-controlled system without which you can’t have standard time.
Without stopping for a long period, the quartz movements used by G shock are also very accurate but compared to auto light technology, there is some difference; however, one thing that we can say about both of these watches is that they both are best in their respective fields and you can’t say one is better than the other.
4)History:
The history of the product is its past and can often be a large contributing factor to why we purchase products in the first place, even if it seems silly at times. For example, many people buy products that have been around for a long time partly because they are nostalgic about them and know that something well-known won’t stop working on them like a new invention (this is called reliability).
Luminox has been around since 1989, which gives consumers confidence knowing what type of brand they are getting into based on their previous reputation, as well as giving consumers an assurance that anything manufactured by this company will be supported for years to come (which is important for people who are looking for a watch that will last them for decades). G Shock has a similar history but began in the 1980s as well. He is reliable, always accurate, and very powerful, unlike many other brands out there.
5)Quality:
The quality of both the watches is really good. Still, Luminox has the upper hand in this category as it provides illumination for almost 25 years without any recharging so that you can use it during your lifetime. In contrast, G shock doesn’t offer such longevity as Auto light technology, so that after using 5~7 years maximum, you need to replace batteries again and again for self-powered illumination.
6)Durability:
Both of these watches are very durable and depend on tight clothing both can easily survive extreme conditions. Still, due to radio-controlled technology, G shock is more prone to external factors like dust or water splashes.
7)Resistance:
When it comes to resistance, Luminox offers night vision illumination for up to 25 years without any recharging so that you don’t need an extra power source while traveling at night. The one-time charge lasts for many years, whereas G shock doesn’t offer this service, but you can use solar chargers to keep the watch working during the daytime in case there is no sunlight.
8)Water Resistance:
If you have a g-shock watch, please don’t go swimming with it on! The watches were never made for that purpose; just because they claim “water-resistant” doesn’t mean you could swim underwater with them for an extended period without problems; trying doing that and would most likely destroy your watch or at least make it non-functional. If you want to swim with a G-Shock, take it off and dry it thoroughly after each time you go swimming so as not to cause any problems later on.
That aside, the consensus is that both brands perform about equally well in their resistance to water damage; if your Luminox or G-SHOCK has been put through its paces underwater for extended periods without incident, then you’ve probably got yourself a quality product.
9)Weight:
It weighs about 9 ounces so that you can use it easily while traveling, camping, or doing any other physical activity without any discomfort. Still, G shock is slightly higher and weighs around 10.3 ounces.
10)Status:
Both of these watches are well received by people of different age groups. They are both best in their respective fields; however, Luminox has more popularity among the general public due to availability and cost factors than the G shock watch. And from this popularity, it’s clear that Luminox is showing many styles in the market and all the models are available at a good price.
