There has been much postings of late (some by myself) on Ventura digitals.Although i admire the brand and products ,are they superior? well if you read the hype then possibly but in practice.........err imo no
my experience with these has not always been positive
Some quality control issues have been a concern
Considering the much hyped "hand built" etc i found this to be pretty poor..
They do score highly in design,exclusivity and display clarity,but in my experience there is another brand which equals them in sheer build quality, which is also exclusive, and highly desirable at a third of the cost.........
,i challenge anyone who has compared ,and handled both side by side and finds i am wrong.
Junghans Mega 1000,ok it lacks the hardened steel and has (apparent) sync issues in the UK (although i experienced none)in all other respects it challenges the Ventura quality with ease. Now discontinued , its still a beautiful watch at a bargain price(if you can find one...
)
I had one ,sold it and now regret it...
BUT overall i still believe that the SDGA is superior to all digitals.Regarding the lack of a count down timer and chrono.....in all honesty,has anyone ever used these functions? I doubt many people do (me included) so thats no deal breaker IMO.
