I am SERIOUSLY losing confidence in the decision making of JLC, especially those responsible for the direction of the brand !!
JLC should have presented something special and groundbreaking like what FPJ has provided or PP- I know they are capable of doing so. Only Watch is an accurate read of the market mood and they should have put in some actual effort to serve the brand better instead of just slapping on a new dial.

The now not so new Polaris line has been underwhelming at be
