2. CX 650 leaving SIN at 06:45AM. Lie flat 1-2-1 seat. 1 hour layover in HKG.
I am inclined to take option 2, but is the 1 hour layover enough? I don't mind skipping the J Lounge. If I were flying F, I'd definitely take option 1, though.
Any thoughts?

Absolutely agree.
I'm on CX 826, so I'm lucky I have more than one option to connect from SIN-HKG. Given my recent multiple flights on this route in both directions, on more than one airline, I chose a minimum 3 hour cnx. All of my flights were on time, it was deplaning and connecting inside HKIA that took time.
I chose CX 710 from SIN. Given the flight is 4 hours or less, I really didn't care about the J cabin config.
I am, however, considering skipping my last night at the hotel in SIN and heading to Changi T1 and checking into the Aerotel. It's USD $39 for 6 hours, so that would be perfect overnight, then head to the lounge or gate in the morning without the hassle of getting up at 4am and getting to Changi from hotel in the city.
