Oh, I would forget about the water resistance up to 300 meters (or 30 ATM) – I don't think I will ever have a chance to test it.The genuine rubber strap feels nice in touch, it is flexible and does not stink after time. It is textured on the both sides and almost sticks to the skin. It works for me as I wear it on everyday basis and there is no need to check if it stays in the same place. One thing I noticed after use is some rubbing on the bottom surface, but no breaks, cuts or deformations found. The only problem were two strap keepers – the strap sometimes slides out from them. I think they are bit too wide and too flexible. I can't complain, in my opinion it is a really neat tactical watch for tactical users. My old Luminox watch I have worn every day as my amulet, but the new one became a piece of my EDC gear. It makes me feel good. It is always cool to have cool things, ain't it?Just to sum up: the 3813 is awesome. I have this feeling that the rugged design and form will be timeless. It is one of those tiny things (not so tiny to be honest) that will increase your cool factor and matches the tactical lifestyle. I like it very much. Nothing makes me more relaxed than watching the SEAL Trident on the back. I hope it will serve me for years RABBIT'S OPINION Fifth Luminox watch in my possession and I won't' lie to you – I just love this brand. The Team Leader still remains my favorite, but Master Carbon SEAL gets second place. It's big and thick rugged tactical watch, the watch I really dig. I have 3813 with green dial be- cause 3803 was to colorful for me. The subdued and more tactical green dial with low-viz black numbers look great, but the white numbers on the bezel are not so cool. I know, I know it's for better readability, etc., but I would prefer more subdued colors (green or gray perhaps). No other complaints about the de- sign. It fits almost every kind of my clothing, maybe except the suit. It does not suit the suit. Luminox 3813 is as lightweight as you can al- most forget about it on your hand. The strap is far more comfortable than in other watches from the Sea Collection. It is thinner, more flexible and has textured surface. To this moment I have found no breaks or other signs of use, but I try to avoid its di- rect exposure to detergents. The size of watch is not a problem during everyday use, although it may col- lide with contact gloves or with elastic cuffs in some jackets. The crown, even it is quite big, is placed in the right place and does not catch on anything. No problems found too. EDC
