    Which has the better Lume between these two watches? I have seen a few comments about a disappointing Lume on the Aqua Terra . Will the better one remain luminated all night on the bedside table?. I'm pretty disappointed in my Speedy SE lume. Can barely see it at night and it only lasts for a short period of time. I can put my Marathon GSR on the bedside table and it remains bright all night long. Some nights it is so bright I have to turn the watch around.

    I would like to see the AT minute hand fully lumed, not just the arrow head. That, for me to my convoluted way of thinking, is more the issue than is the quality of the material. Given better visibility in the dark it would come closer to being a one watch only kind of watch. Thanks.

    Have fun

    I wouldn't rely on my AT for night-time lume... tmp-cam-361697346.jpg

    I agree the SM second hand dot Luke is much easier to read
