Setting 3 is the 5 year setting. You can easily see it indoors, but on a sunny day you’ll want to bump it to 5 or 6. Haven’t needed to go beyond that.
Oh and one of mine is the green dot, because I had to be different and special. While I like it pretty much the same as the red dot, battery life is “only” one year on setting 3. But...I change all my batteries every six months. Cheap insurance. Never found a dead red dot on an MRO or RMR, but twice the green dot has been out. I suspect the green dot is a huge drain on the battery when you up the brightness. Not a problem, just something to be aware of.
