The digital window at six o'clock does the heavy lifting for this watch: world time, alarms, stopwatch, etc. Preferred is the system where the 24-hour is separate, so that you can set local time on the main hands, and have the 24-hour keep its place at GMT or whatever. To be fair, however, the Rolex GMT Master II works the same way.From the profile picture, you can see the easily gripped bezel and curved line of the case, as well as the different finishes and beveled case. It's not what I expected to see from Luminox, but I'm impressed.The 2002 is an unusually comfortable watch to wear, and has been getting a lot of wrist time. Because of the curved lugs, light weight, and nice bracelet, it stays in place without fuss and is readable with zero effort. If you do, there's always the online second-hand markets.Street prices on the 2002 and 2004 are between $320 and $360 which represents very good value for a tritium-illuminated watch of this quality and versatility. If you like the GMT Master but would prefer lesser cost or flash value, I highly recommend the Luminox.The analog hands just display the primary timezone. This works quite well, though since the digital display is compact you may need to squint a bit to make it out. That also limits the sporting uses, as small digits require that you not be in motion to read.The grey-shaded clear band is flexible and narrow enough to not gather sweat. The transparency is a nice accent and quite fashionable right now.Overall, this one got kudos from the wife, the small girls, and myself, which is pretty amazing, really.
