Luminox is a famous watch that is also used in the United States Navy, but it is very popular in Japan, and I feel that it can be purchased in some area without going to the center of the city except for limited edition.
However, there are many people who do not know where to repair if it breaks down by any chance, but it seems that there are four directly managed stores in four cities (Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, Fukuoka).
It seems that the battery deterioration is most common in maintenance and failure, but I think that there are many people who think that it is possible to replace the battery by oneself without relying on a regular store?
As far as checking the official site of Luminox, "Standard Maintenance" and "Complete Maintenance" and repair price are divided, and the battery replacement seems to change depending on the plan.
However, when repaired with Luminox, the regular price of the cheapest plan was 9000, so the price difference was three times higher than that of G-Shock battery replacement (regular CASIO).
I will replace the decomposition method for the person who does the battery replacement of Luminox by myself in the following, so I think that you can refer to it.
Especially, the battery was able to be changed without the need for a strange tool.

The battery is replaced from the back cover of the back.
The product number is written on the arrow part, but it was written as SERIES 3080.

The back cover is all secured with four screws, but it is removed using a thin Phillips screwdriver at the tip.

When you open the back cover, it is a complicated making for a moment?I felt that the round one of gold was a battery.
The battery is fixed with metal fittings, but remove the slightly smaller minus screw on the arrow.
It is possible to rotate the minus screw if it is a thin thing about the tip of the cutter though it is too big to enter with a normal minus screwdriver.

It was possible to remove the metal fittings as it is when it was possible to remove the minus screw.
After that, it is possible to remove the battery only by hand.

It is the original battery, but if you want to replace it, it is completed if you reassemble it with the original procedure.
If you change the battery yourself, you can keep it cheap in price, but waterproof performance may fall more than before.
So, if you have room in the budget, it may be able to use for a longer in the future if you have the battery replacement as well as maintenance at the regular store!
