Geo vs Amvox

 

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 because any weight on my wrist disturbs me when I swim). But honestly speaking, I am more fascinated with my wife's classical discontinued Master Geocraphic, especially with the operation of its movement. I would even consider to trade my Compressor if I knew I would find an unused discontinued version with a hinged case back.

But as Polaris is concerned, I'm totaly with Nicolas. Tribute to Polaris is the watch to fascinate with; in all terms. I'm desperately waiting for the SS version and hoping to have the chance to get one.

So James, welcome to the world of JLC. Once you step in, it's almost impossible to get out. Isn't it the case Nicolas?

Sincerely

Ahmet

If you want to travel ,the problem is that both are good... The Amvox I because of its alarm. The Master Geo because of its Worlld time... But no one of these watches are made to swim with, so be careful... If you really want to swim with a JLC, go on the...  

Nicholas, are you saying...

...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

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...
