JLC blew a great opportunity

The digital hour change should have been instantaneous. A dragging hour seems such a major compromise and a poor horological choice. The entire sense of anticipation of that milli-second flash of digital display changing is denied when the hour will now crawl painfully through to the next. For almost 15 mins each hour , I guess the wearer will hate to look at the time.
The verso side digital time should have been independently settable for the minute indication as well. Not having this is a let down for a rather pricey offering.
A nice opportunity and a landmark event (90 years of reverso) wasted by JLC. They took the easy route.
The watch could have been a true value for money, But given the lack of the two key features, now I think collectors may be less enthusiastic.
