5 digit Polar Explorer for everyday use?
I all of sudden have an interest in a Polar Explorer. Which 5 digit reference is recommended for everyday use? I won’t be doing anything crazy with it just usual office duty and the occasional vacation.

5 digit Exp2s are great for everyday wear. It's very comfortable and flies under the radar. Highly recommended. Grab one before the price goes up even higher!

I’m on the fence now 5-digit Exp 2 / BB GMT. Those exp 2s are a lot of bang for the buck for a daily driver.

Love mine...it’s very versatile and flies under the radar as others have said for years. Great contrast to my GMT LN, which is a bit flashier.

Best looking 5 digit after the Kermit IMO. The polar version is lovely.

The polar 5 digit got me back into watches some years ago, it's great for every day.
