Yes, it's very durable. Get the dealer to throw in an extra strap when you buy it.

The lume works pretty well on this watch.

I don't know, I haven't damaged mine.

No, but then again I don't wear it super tight.

Since it's a popular piece with an entry level price point, it holds value fairly well.

Not that I have heard, probably the opposite as the market overall is a bit soft, especially in Asia.
