Bulova Men's Modern - 96A204

Nice looking watch, gets lots of compliments

Quality is very poor and the seller didn’t even respond to my enquiry. Face chipped massively on first wear with no trauma to the watch. Don’t waste your money.

Photos of this watch don't do it justice. Firstly, the entire face of the watch is a one-piece crystal (the blue outer ring is not a bezel, it's the housing below the crystal, an unusual feature). I was also surprised by the bracelet, which is well-made and is of polished steel (heavy links, but they look flat/matte in the photo). Similarly, all the silver on the face is equally polished/shiny to match the bracelet, which is eye-catching and appealing to look at. At 42mm, the watch is the perfect size for my wrist and is heavy, but not the heaviest I've worn. I've tracked the automatic mechanism and it keeps very good time (solid Miyota Japanese movement -- but it doesn't hack). The gears on the lowest window can be seen moving at all times; the mechanism in the window to the left of the crown moves about when the crown is operated; the other two windows have no moving mechanisms (places for date windows!) The watch back is also glass, such that you can see the lower gears moving, and if one hold the watch to the light, the watch can be seen through. Down sides: there's no other features but keeping time, also unusual nowadays. There's no date window, which I already miss as I look at this all the time in my other watches. The crown pops and is not screw-down (so I wouldn't put it near water despite being resistant). The automatic mechanism doesn't hack. Very happy with this watch -- it's pretty and unique enough that it well outweighs the downsides. If you're considering buying, try looking at it in a jewelry store first. I'll be looking for more in Bulova.

Relógio belíssimo. É uma jóia, de fato. O único porém é o vidro de cristal mineral, que provavelmente vai arranhar ou trincar com o tempo. A substituição desse item é algo que me preocupa.

Absolutely a masterpiece of a watch, i’ve gotten a lot of compliments and it gets lots of attention.
