BulovaMen's Precisionist Gray Ion-Plated Stainless Steel 8-Hand Chronograph with Blue and Orange Accents Style: 98B343

Very handsome watch. Looks great on my husband who is a big guy. Came in perfect condition. Great affordable gift option!

First, a quick mention of the fact that Amazon came through for me where a big jewelry retailer could not (every kiss begins with...). I initially purchased this watch on clearance from the other retailer, received an obviously-used (and damaged!) watch, returned it and ordered from Amazon instead. The deal wasn't QUITE as good but Amazon sent me a perfect, never-worn watch on the first try. So, thanks for that!The watch itself? It's large, heavy and not very practical. But it's also utterly fantastic.Things I particularly love about it:- Precisionist movement (cool to watch the second hand sweep on a quartz watch)- Crazy dial with all sorts of details to admire from different angles (pictures can't do this justice)- Curved case/bezel/crystal (another thing you really need to see in person - it isn't quite as pronounced as something like a Richard Mille but it's neat)I recommend checking this out at a store first if you can. That could shift things in either direction for you. But this is definitely one of the coolest watches in my collection.

This is my first Bulova and have to say its a hefty timepiece, great details on the dial face, bezel and essentially, the entire watch. The bracelet is chunky, although detailed with a combination of brushed and polished finishes, with the Bulova logo, however I found it to be a little brash and ungainly. I promptly substituted it with a 24mm NATO strap natostrapco.com and now the watch looks proportional and easier on the wrist.This inner details of the watch face are spectacular; the carbon fiber is industrial, the "engraved" steel ring connecting all the hour markings and the blue/cobalt ring that only reflects when light shines on it. The crystal has a complex curve on it and this is the only watch I have seen that has such a curve on it. The outer ring on the face is raised and has the tachymeter markings as well. The non rotating bezel is polished and has black engraved markings such as diver 60 min markings; the side of the bezel is also textured and 4 hex screws holding everything together. The case is large and tall, with a dual brushed and polished steel finish. The 3 push buttons are polished and the screw down crown has an engraved Bulova logo, it is has an engraved angled gear patten for handling and is protected with crown guards on either side.Now down to the mechanics, in a word its fabulous. The stop watch in motion is absolutely gorgeous to look and the primary driving force behind the purchase of this watch. The smooth motion of the large second's hand is sublime and the added infinity symbol of the precisionist line is a nice touch. The transition from normal mode to the stopwatch function and back again is nice to see as it moves faster to move to the 12 o'clock position to zero the stop watch and then rushes to catch up to the current time once switching back from the stopwatch to the normal mode.Then there are the sub-dials; top most displaying two needle hands measuring 10th and 100th of a second, left one measuring the minutes, the right one measuring the hours and the bottom most the 1000th of a second, while the large second's hand, doing its thing measuring the seconds. The hour and minute's hands are hollow broad sword style hands, with luminous markings on the tips (luminous markings are on each hour marking as well, however that is one downside to this watch, not at all bright and frankly a bit poor, however not a deal breaker for me).This watch is great and a lot going for it, the size may deter a few people, but replacing the bracelet with a leather/Ballistics Nylon or NATO / ZULU strap changes the characteristics of the watch and reduces the acreage it occupies on your wrist. In is a good way, by reducing the BLING factor of this watch, not something that I was going for. It looks more understated and you will blind fewer pilots and thus make the skies a safer place... which is a real public service.SSSSSOOOOOO....UPs are...- Great watch- Awesome movement- Great detail and finishDOWNs are...- Brash bracelet (decided to replace it with a 24mm ballistics nylon NATO from natostrapco.com)- Large / heavy (may apply to individuals with slimmer wrists, but on my 7" wrist looks great once the bracelet was removed)- Luminous markings are not too bright (not a deal breaker at all)

Beautiful, comfortable, easy to set!

Was casually shopping for another watch to add to collection. Debated on nice Citizen and Tissot watches that I almost purchased but did not. Thankfully found this BEAUTIFUL Bulova! Absolutely beautiful time piece! My new favorite. The brushed and polished stainless steel, large case, crystal and bezel, carbon fiber dial and sweeping second hand dial are absolutely just stunning. The size of the watch is perfect. As masculine a watch as you're going to get without being ridiculously over the top. The weight is perfect as well. Heavy enough to remind you that this is a quality piece. Feels like a gauntlet. This watch commands attention and admiration! People who see it stare at it. Very easy to size the bracelet w/ the correct tools and setting the time was easy using just the crown (unlike certain Citizen pieces). After sizing and setting time, I buffed and polished the case and bracelet and she shined brilliantly. Price was PERFECT and was even able to do Amazon interest free monthly pmt plan. Shipping was a fast 2 DAYS. Purchased Monday and received Wednesday. Didn't have to go anywhere to find my new favorite piece. Amazon is the absolute KING of retail. I've owned the 2-Tone (stainless/yellow gold) Blue Submariner Rolex which I absolutely loved. This Bulova piece is every bit as impressive without the hefty price tag. Plus it's an American brand since 1875.

UN RELOJ MUY BONITO, DE EXCELENTE CALIDAD, LLEGO EN PERFECTAS CONDICIONES AUNQUE DEMORO MUCHO EN ADUANAS

Me gustó el tamaño y como se mira en la muñeca además de la presición

Bought this watch over a year ago and it has been excellent. I get compliments on it all the time. A must have in your collection .... Man card approved! Bulova does not disappoint with the quality and the price point. Absolutely love the sweeping hand motion and features. Casual yet flashy, this watch is not for sissies. Man card approved.

Its in your face, loud and proud. Not at all subtle. Curved Crystal looks great. This is the colorway to get IMO. I love it. Nice presentation. 7" 1/8 wrist with 2 links removed is a perfect fit. Decent weighted hinged box is much nicer than I thought it would be. The movement is very impressive. Came with Tags and booklets. Good value. Even the wife likes it. 👍

Easy to read time, looks great and GREAT quality.
