Not to me (obviously).
They add interest, and are more readable.
It's not the luminous material per se. It's the filament within the hands.
One reason I much prefer the original Saxonia over the current iteration. Those watches had much more character.

Lange & Sohne 1815 Up and Down Wempe Edition.
The 1815 Up and Down is a delicious watch. Here, in this limited edition of 25 pieces, in white gold, with this blue dial, it is sublime. Best, Nicolas ...
