Amvox 1 and Master Compressor Geographic..I need your help

 

Gentlemen

I am a longtime lurker and occasional poster at the Purists and over the years have owned /collected and sold on a number of watches but never a JLC ( I know, I know...I'm a fool ;-) ), but I have always had an appreciation for the brand.

Well I think its about time. I am caught between two models, the Amvox 1 in stainless steel and the Master Compressor Geographic . I know that the two watches are different but I would like to hear your opinions and comparisons on them. Also is  the Amvox 1 waterproof and if so to which depth?, is the alarm movement robust ( I wont be doing anything more than a some traveling / beach / swimming / and light hiking ) . Does the rubber strap available for the Geographic fit the Amvox?..what do you think?.

Finally any photos / wrist shots of the two would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks for your time, I look forward to reading your replys. James.

...that you wouldn't even swim in a swimming pool with a Master Compressor Geo? I always thought that the compression keys are specifically designed to make the watch water resistant. When I had my first Compressor Geo on a bracelet I used to swim in a po... 

Sorry, I believed that you spoke

Of The Master World Geo... No, with the Master Compressor Geo, of course you can swim with! Sorry for this confusion! Nicolas

Contrary to Nicolas, I prefer Geo, especially for travelling purposes. Being an owner of the Geo for almost four years, I have always been fascineted with its accuracy and reliability. For swimming, I never tried it (neither did I any of my watches becaus... 

THAT'S THE PROBLEM....

But , typically , I am still no closer to making the decision.lol. I think the new Polaris is fantastic, however when I popped into the JLC boutique here in London, Bond street, they informed me that the watch was completely sold out on pre orders and JLC...
