With spring here and summer right around the corner, it’s only fitting that we review another Lum-Tec watch that will fit the seasons. The G series from Lum-Tec is definitely a watch with some hot weather flavor. The collection boasts a total of 10 different color styles to choose from, 4 of which are PVD coated casings. Apart from their distinct colors, the skeletonized case itself is one feature that sets this watch apart the everyday norm that you may be used to. The particular model we are taking a look at is the G5, the blue series of the collection, and comes with a price tag of $535 USD. Let’s break it down and see what entails.

Sorry, that is one “unatractive” (I’m being kind) wristwatch.

Eh, it’s an unconventional design, sure. Unattractive, though? I don’t think so… It’s got a certain appeal precisely because it’s unusual and visually “loud”. It’s pretty much made to stand out, and in that sense, I’d say it’s pretty good-looking.
Also. Kinda wondering who, in the end, won. The widget on the giveaway page (at the time of this writing) isn’t showing any entries or winners.

It is interesting to see it in person! Definitelly, the eyecatcher in public!
