Patrick, I have been using my TTP 65 more and more...
...as one of my daily wear watches. I decided that since I believe all of my watches are to be worn, I need to wear this one as often as I like and whenever I like. It is a tool watch and it is meant to be worn. It was designed for rougher activities than normal daily life would involve, so why worry about it? It holds up just fine.
As Nicolas mentioned above, the plexy crystal is the weak point, but minor scratches can be buffed out, and JLC was kind enough to provide a spare in the box in case of real damage.
All that said, i would not submerge MINE in a glass of beer, but our fearless Moderator is, well, fearless. ;-)
Here is my TTP 65 (sorry, not the 68) on a brown croc strao:
Good luck.

How "fragile" is the Polaris 68?
Took delivery of the new JLC Navy Seals last week - no worries about brute strength there, but I'm thinking of adding a Polaris 68, but I'm a bit concerned about the robustness of the piece. I've got a big family with lots of kids and a rather active life...

TT Polaris 65 and 68
The two tributes to Polaris 65 and 68 are both marvelous watches. My TTP 68 is a nice sturdy watch, though the strap is crap. The strap is the watch's weakest point. I agree that you shouldn't try to bang the plexi against a wall even if JLC provides a re...
I'm a true believer
I am one of those people that still thinks that Santa Claus really exists. This year is going to be a test. Best regards, George
Well, it wasn't said in the warranty that didn't have to submerge it ...
In a glass of beer! I'm fearless because I trust my Polaris is able to stand all these experiences of Life. Best, my friend. Happy to see that your love affair with the TTP 65 is still alive! Nicolas.
Well, you're right, the warranty did not advise against beer dunking
I can't argue with you about that. Yes, the love affair has not only lasted but deepend. It fits really well within my quite small collection, and I just love wearing it. In fact, I am wearing it right now. Just took my dog to the park to play fetch with ...
Mines are never too far from my wrist, too.
In the " watches of charm " category, they are very strong competitors, indeed. I wonder what kind of watch JLC will plan to beat them... Best, Nicolas.
Good for everyday use
I agree with the above comments for the tribute to polaris. The watch is light, lugs are relatively short and the prominent domed plexi crystal usually takes any of the impact. Polywatch takes out any of the light scratches and I even have a small gouge o...
It's tough...
The tribute '68 is a tough steel watch - not in need of any babying in my experience. Agree with the comments on the strap, albeit I have been too lazy to change mine; it will fall apart sometime this season I expect. I've not found that the plexiglass is...
