While waiting for more qualified help...
I've only heard good things about the compressor series in general. While I was still doing research on my next purchase
(a travel watch), I ran across the JLC Extreme Alarm. The features look really nice... the alarm, the world time and the 100m
water resistance. Plus, I like the dial. Some would consider it too busy, but I like it a lot. In the end, however, I had to remove
it from my list of candidates because of its size. With my chicken-bone wrist, the 46+mm diameter and 16+mm thickness
would make me feel like I was wearing a frisbee.
Were you looking for people to comment about a specific point or were you asking people about their general "feeling"
of the watch?
I personally like the look of the watch.

if size is the point of comment you're looking for, I would say it does wear smaller than 46mm. was choosing between the ewc, ewa and nsa when i got mine and as a matter of personal taste and need, my choice went to the ewa. i was on the hunt for a world ...
Something about fashion

Let me tell you my personal -and perhaps isolated- opinion about sizes. I always have thought that enormous watches are made only for fashion people. Obviously I´m convinced that JLC make watches for people fallen in love, but always is possible they...
I have this watch

and I like the large bulky size and busy dial. I love watches that are substantial. Others here prefer smaller watches with cleaner dials. There is no right or wrong answer. So it comes down to a matter of taste. Certainly the EWA has many good features t...
