Stand on their own. I wouldnt say that one is an improvement over the other...just different. I like the skeleton hands better but yes they are immediately more visible. Luminosity is not a real factor for me. In the summer here it never gets dark. In the winter it never really gets that light in the daytime and I find that the incidental and indoor lighting is never enough to charge the luminous material enough to be useful on any of my watches with that feature. I can see it being handy in a theater in the summer but little else. We golf at midnight up here in the summer.
