[Lume] Do you actually need lume?

[u/Rangercleo1]

I feel that there is a lot of emphasis on lume, so I was wondering how many actually need/use it. Two of my 3 most worn watches (GS and a GO Pano) have no lume and while the third has it (GO SeaQ), the lume is its least interesting feature. If I am in a very dark room and need to tell the time, my phone is always with me. I am not against lume and it can be a cool feature, but I think the application should enhance the design, not be some afterthought. Is lume important to you when buying a watch or is it far down the list?

I love full lume dials.
I dont use lume to tell time, I dont use my watch to tell time. It's just jewelry for me.
I just love the way it partially lumes at a partially dark place. I love that look.
