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.

Opinions in general. I'm trying to make a decision between this one and the Navy Seals Alarm. Thanks very much for you opinion.

It certainly is a matter of choice...

...however I would select the Navy Seals Alarm simply because of the cleaner, simpler dial. N

Do you need to WT function? If not, I would go for the NSD personally.

The NSD has a more rugged appeal. cheers PAt

Size is the real issue

I think size is the real issue. I was really interested in this watch and my AD disswaded me from purchasing it because of the size, said that it didn't suit me. That having been said I have purchased similar size watches since then. I think that the Navy... 

A matter of taste.

Between the EWA and the NSA, I choose the NSA, for its cleaner dial, smaller size. Did you try the EWA " Tide to Time " version ( titanium case, blue and black dial  ? This is a nice option, but the size is the same ( 46, 3 mm ) and will not suit ever...

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...  

love it...

What I love about the watch is the quick strap change system and the watch straps that are available for the watch. I have the Tides of Time and get complements every time it is worn. Good luck. gen.

Go for it

Buddy, I think you are making a fab choice, you'll never regret a Jaeger, the watch will stand out in a crowd, emphasise refined tastes! Mechanically superb. So GO FOR IT. All the best!
