Is The Jaeger LeCoultre Polaris Any Good?!

When I saw the Jaeger LeCoultre Polaris I knew that I had to get it behind the lens. It's a truly awesome watch!

I have the JLC POLARIS MARINER DATE in blue and sold a Rolex to buy it. Absolutely love the watch and far more proud to wear it than the Rolex. Great brand.

I am currently wearing the JLC Polaris Date, black face on black rubber strap 2020 model and LOVE it

Dude JLC is pure class and low profile haute horlogerie. Excellent content!

Most important thing about the clasp is not mentioned! The clasp have two on the fly micro adjustments. Particularly 2.5mm from each side of clasp. Must better system than on Rolex, Omega and I own this watch and I love it. I have almost 30 watches (Omega, Rolex, Blancpain, Brequet, Oris, Longines, Tudor, Tissot....), many are even more expensive than my JLC Polaris automatic, but from all 30 watches I own this is by far most comfortable one! My wrist is 18cm and it simply become part of my arm when I am wearing it. It is that good. Ergonomics, size, weight, centre of gravity, thickness....perfect balance. And that micro adjustments I mentioned before, during summer time when my wrist expands and shrinks....makes it absolutely perfect wear.
Now....this is by no means diver watch. first only 100m water resistant, but more this lose rotating bezel....It is so lose and bi directional so, for any diver using it for purpose of diving it would be dangerous. I love rotating bezel; i am using them on all my divers almost every day for measing any activity, etc....but this one is so misleading cause even just rubbing against skin can rotate it! So, this is what I hate about this watch. It would be better to not having it, rather to having it, using it and possibly putting you into trouble.
Movement is so precise! But only 40 hours power reserve ....not today standard.
Last but not a least. From all my watches, even much bigger ones (with rotating bezel) this is by far watch with largest diameter of dial. And therefore so legible!

With all good and just love it!
Watch that will stick with me very long time. Unless JLC make something same wearable(cannot be better than this) but fixing the bezel and power reserve

Chose this exact Polaris over the VC Overseas. Really fell in love with it. It’s been over two years and I still find it amazing.

The Polaris is not a diver, it‘s ment to be a more luxurious alternative to the Explorer and Aqua Terra. If you look at it that way it‘s an absolute perfekt daily driver.

I love JLC. There is something special about them, the polaris is a personal favourites of mine.

I bought the green Polaris date and it’s fuckin beautiful! I love it. JLC are the greatest

[brownmcpherson]

The Chronograph version is gorgeous and has a respectable power reserve.

[nicolasalonzo]

Dream watch! I think the version with rubber strap is great. I am not a bracelet guy. There is an amazing version in green/brown.

Today Harrison I am wearing my own JLC. A Classic Reverso Duo Face Small Seconds. I love the Polaris.

The Polaris has been on my grail list for a while. Unfortunately paying off the mortgage is a bit more important right now so will probably the one that got away.

I am very conflicted with this particular Polaris model. I was initially set on purchasing this specific model, but I ended up with the Polaris Mariner Date. The Mariner is more of a dive watch while this Polaris is more of a sporty and daily watch.

I would say it was worth it a few years ago, but with the price hikes they have done for the retail price of this piece, you’re better off with a different watch. And this is someone who is a big fan of JLC and have purchased two Reversos and a Polaris Mariner in the collection.

Own the Chrono Polaris and love it, fills out the dial perfectly … nice review👌

[juancarloshernandez]

I am wearing my Rado Captain Cook, 42mm in blue with beads of rice stainless steel bracelet. I got this watch on a great deal, almost new for less than $1.100 Dollars. I have an Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra, a Rolex Datejust, a Longines Legend Diver and hands-down, the Rado is the watch I get the most compliments on. People seem to love this watch.

[dgftw]

I really want the black dial version. I just wish it had a higher power reserve

[wummrs]

JLC has become my favorite watch brand - when I get money I’ll be spending it with them.

[nikcertified]

what a great review! I own the exact watch I love it. I bought the factory blue rubber strap and deployment clasp. very comfortable and not prone to any scratches the factory bracelet does. today I'm wearing my grand seiko white birch evolution 9 model.

[LAM_AUT_ECU]

I had it on my wrist early this year but finally went for the new Omega Moonwatch. Hard choice though!

Great video Harrison, once again. Today, I’m wearing a Certina PH 500m in blue dial and NATO strap. Fantastic watch and really luvin’ it🙏
