Lume is actually a big deal ... for the right kind of watch
My favorite adventure beater is Seiko Prospex Kinetic GMT (SUN019) which is 10+ years old. The watch was targeted as breakthrough to the US market with its massive (for its time) size and top qualify dial - which is still has brightest lume I've ever seen. 12 years later it's not only bright - it can still keep a glow all they way to the morning. Apparently Seiko splurged but time for the best quality material ...
And I appreciate that very much. For an adventure/outdoor watch it's a big deal - after sunset, in a tent, at night, of course under water.
So yeah, I do care
