Info on Nokta Makro Legend
« on: February 02, 2022, 10:21 pm »
I took the plunge and fished around for videos on the Legend the other night, surprised to find that there really wasn't much out there ??

Doesn't seem to be much reliable info out there, a few poor depth tests that don't prove anything really.

I expected to find a lot more ??

Not really, they have recalled the test ones while they do more modifications. Guessing, like XP, they’ve learnt the importance of confidentiality agreements. To be fair though they usually they don’t work and leak like a sieve so guessing they must have picked their testers carefully?

Looks like live models might be a few more weeks away at least. I do hope they are good machines. Minelab need another shake of their tree and Garret need a rocket up their arse. Competition leads to innovation which is good for us 👍🏼

Hmm I have a bad feeling about this. Cast iron promises that they would be released summer 2021 ! Things really ain't going to plan !

I suspect the more likely reason is that that don't want to incur the wrath of Dilek and who can blame them! ;D

I wonder why  ;) Garrett need to be careful, they still do ok in the US I believe but they aren’t innovating and keeping up. Heavy machines with no unique advantages are quickly ignored and disappear into the detector graveyard. They are loosing market share in all their historical strongholds and they don’t seem to have a response…

I used the Apex for a couple of weeks, very disappointing performance, it felt ok with reasonably good build quality. I think Garret should have a re-think about their target market.

Yeah that seems to be a lot of conclusions about the Apex.
Garrett are a big operation so they can produce new machines pretty quickly, but as you say, either look hard at your target audience and if you want to compete at the top end, take a breath, do the RnD, and produce quality over quantity.

That's good news for the Legend owners Bob.
