Discussion: Newly announced Polaris vs Discontinued Master Compressor
The new Polaris is an interesting sports line. At first glance, I found it very sexy; however, after a while and looking at it in person, I slowly thought it was a bit bland. It’s my personal opinion only. The new Polaris does contain a few changes that I welcome, such as a thinner bezel. The design also appears to be more versatile than the Master Compressor line.
I start to compare it to the discontinued Master Compressor line. I start to think it had a more distinct design that was unmistakeable JLC with an ingenious design in crown design. I was sad when the model line was discontinued.
What are your thoughts?

I agree.
At first I really wanted one of the new Polaris watches but I looked into it more. 38/42 hour power reserves and movements that seem smaller than the case. The bracelets use push pins which is a huge turn off for me. Water resistance is not on par with ot...
Polaris Geogaphique WT versus Master Compressor Geographique... Some elements of comparison
The new Polaris is slightly bigger, with its 42 mm. Not sure it is thicker. You have a point on the movement. It is small for that case. A solid case back would have been a more interesting choice, I think. Now, the case of the Master Compressor Geographi...
Agree 100%!!! The Compressors were amazing and ingenious..
while the Polaris is "nice," but not ground breaking. JLC's Extreme series - with shock absorber cases -was one of the coolest creations in all of Haute Horlogeri's sport series, and I, personally, thought it smoked the ROO series. How I wish JLC would ha...

If the master compressor line up was revamped at 44mm and had the quick strap change with a variety of straps I would Take it over my roo any day. I have been waiting patiently . It's seems JLC doesn't want to go that route
