Accurate, quality construction and comfortable to wear.
This is the best-looking watch I own (I have more than 20 watches, several chosen mainly for their looks!), it is also light as a feather, and just puts me in a good mood when I wear it. It is super-accurate being the Bulova high-speed quartz, and the retro 'stars and stripes' look is great. The dial is quite large but the lug to lug is smaller than the diameter so it isnt a problem for smaller wrists. I use the supplied leather strap which is comfy and looks good. I might try the supplied mesh-style bracelet once the leather strap has worn out. Dont buy this watch for its legibility - you cannot read the time at a glance, you need to concentrate on finding the arrows at the end of the hands and ignoring the second-hand and the chrono sub-dials. I sometimes think legibility is ultra-important, but in reality, I spend all day on my PC and mobile phone and tend to read the time off them, and I really only read the time off a wristwatch about 3 times a day. So, I wear a watch because I enjoy doing so, and this watch is very enjoyable.

An excellent casual and/or dressy chronograph
The good stuff first: A very eye catching design, it just looks amazing on the wrist. Furthermore, even though it will come off very thick looking, because it has no lugs and hides its bars underneath the body - it wears surprisingly smaller than you might think. The buttons/pushers have a nice feel and resistance and the movement is nice and smooth thanks to their high frequency quartz tech.What I didn't love: the first one here is a taste thing - the provided bracelet just doesn't feel like the right style for the watch. Luckily they do provide a leather strap set in the box you can swap to, that's a nice deep blue color that better fits the watch. However this leads into problem two, the the leather straps are incredibly tight and snug at the hidden lugs - which is fine if you don't ever plan to swap your straps again - but if you do, it's really difficult to get the springbars to disengage with the how tight the leather sits next to the walls.

Something about this watch
I don’t know how I feel about this watch. I definitely think it’s good looking, stylish and classy. But I feel like the case is just so much bigger than the bracelet. It kind of looks weird like the bracelet isn’t big enough to hold a watch that big. I also think the proportion of the case to the bracelet really makes it stand out a lot. Like it might draw too much attention. You can’t wear a watch like that often at all. Also, I don’t like the bracelet. I feel that it looks so much better with the leather strap. I changed it as soon as I took it out of the box. I’m on the fence about whether or not I want to keep this watch, but I’m leaning towards keeping it. Another thing is that it keeps great time. I synced it to my iPhone after taking it out of the box and it’s so accurate, I used it to set the time on one of my automatic watches.

Great watch, but beware of damage from shipping
The watch is great. Such a cool funky retro piece. Very faithful reproduction of the old Chronograph C. Very nice box and presentation. Quality way above the Amazon price. HOWEVER....part of the nice setup from Bulova is the little springbar tool that comes in the box with it. It has rough edges, and is just floating around in the box scratching up the watch the whole time it makes its way to you. First watch arrived with lots of marks all over the unprotected parts of the watch. I returned it for an exchange, and the replacement arrived in better condition since the tool must have wedged itself in one part of the box for a good portion of the ride. The watch still had marks around the bezel, but not nearly as bad as the first, so I kept that one. They should really wrap the tool in plastic so this doesn’t happen. Fine for selling at a jewelry store, but not for mail delivery.

Simply Eye Catching
This watch is truly a great looking watch. It is big, bold, unique, and beautiful. Great time keeping piece, smooth movements, extremely accurate timing. It is easy to read, has solid Lume and the two different bands are cool too. I am not a watch expert by any means but appreciate quality attractive watches and this is both, truly my new favorite watch in my collection and is an heirloom type time piece. I just can't say enough on how much I love this watch.

Simplemente excelente. Preciosa calidad como es de costumbre para Bulova. Un reloj extremadamente versátil ya sea para utilizarlo con un outfit sport como para algo más formal.Empacado perfectamente. La caja impecable. Lo único es que el desarmador no venía asegurado pero aún así todo en perfecto estado. 100% recomendado

Reloj Bulova para Hombres 46mm
El reloj llegó perfecto, sin embargo la almohadilla en dónde se presenta el reloj y la caja interna está un poco rasgada ya que es de una piel muy delgada, aún así el reloj llegó sin rayas y en perfecto estado
