Feeble lume

Hello - first post.

So, new Explorer 2 (226570)

It's a fantastic watch, The accuracy is out of this world. I've owned it for a month and have not had to alter the second hand yet. It feels great too and it's just the right size for my wrist (which is 7.5 inches)

All good then. Well yes, apart from the feeble lume!

The colour is bright and really pops but it just doesn't last. For comparison I have a Hamilton Khaki Field and I have always been able to see the hands in pitch darkness even after several hours (albeit faintly) With the polar though there is nothing visible if it hasn't seen the light for a while.

It's surprising as the marketing would suggest the opposite!

Any similar experiences? Does the lume need some time to 'run in'? Perhaps the Hamilton just has exceptional lume!
