"In a forest of watchmakers there are only a few which have been genuine manufactories since day one, Seiko is one of them."
I find BGW9 readable longer, but I do enjoy both.

I chose blue, because it looks cooler and lasts almost as long.

A man's watch is a very cherished thing. You steal that, you might as well be stealing his soul.
Blue looks way cooler! so even though it is a bit weaker then green, I prefer blue. Or how about both?
According to the lume chart, C3 green lume is the brightest and longest lasting!

Green, easier to read when it starts fading.
Calm down.....It's just a watch....

You not only buy a watch, but the company behind it.
I have to say that lume appearing white when not glowing is important to me. I just let go my blue Sumo because the way the lume appeared greenish when it was light out really clashed with the blue dial and I just couldn't warm to it.

Blue looks cool but nothing tops great C3 green lume.
Lots of dive watches.
My PO has C3 that is nuclear bright at night. It fades quite a bit by morning, but still quite readable. The Sub-C has BGW9 and, while not as intense at full charge, has the coolest blue color. And, as observed already, it seems to maintain its intensity longer, so it might be slightly more readable by morning.
Which do I prefer? Honestly, I can't say....
