They're fine if you want to sit up or lay fully down but are a complete disappointment for positions in between. I can overlook the airlines who still have recliners on regional aircraft (JL included), but to install these low end lie flats on a brand new plane isn't a good look.
​​​​​​Quite different seats between NH 787-9 and JL

JL Skysuite III

NH 787-9


The Skysuite III is probably one of the least attractive reverse herringbone seats out there. The lag of a legrest does quite annoy me, but otherwise it works pretty well for intra Asia flights. Admittedly Singapore and Jakarta are quite long intra Asia flights, that really should see the Apex Suites on night flights.
One point from my side is that getting a window seat on Skysuite III is actually more important than on the Apex Suites.
