Bulova Mens Classic Dress 6-Hand Multi-Function Day Date Quartz Watch Black Patterned Dial 43mm

I have had this watch for just over a month now. During that time the accuracy has been excellent, running just three seconds fast per month. At that rate it will only be around half a minute fast in one year’s time. I really like the silver on black hands and face, they make the watch easy to read in office, home and low light conditions. However In bright sunlight while driving, I do have to twist the wrist on occasion to get a good viewing angle. That is part of the unique character of this watch, the way the hands and dial change from silver to almost black, and the face turns from solid black to striped, depending on the lighting conditions and viewing angle. The alignment of the watch hands is perfect, and it is nice to have an analog date and day display. Overall the watch is solid, and Bulova’s attention to quality is obvious. The watch band is also very well constructed, and was relatively easy to adjust if you have the watch link pin remover tool. There are arrows on the links indicating which direction to push the link pins out. Just be sure you reinsert the pins correctly, as the pins have wide and narrow ends. You can purchase the tool on Amazon for around ten bucks, or have your local jeweler or watch kiosk resize it instead. Be sure and keep the leftover links and pins for spares, or future resizing. There was plenty of adjustment range on the watch band, and even a half link fine size adjustment on the clasp. I did notice that the Black Ionic plating on the watch band is wearing off after a month, in the area where I drag it across my desk daily while typing. I attached a photo showing the area of wear on the band. My only criticism goes to the design implementation of the smaller 24 hour dial time indicator. It is Not independently adjustable from the main time, for let’s say something like GMT. So it’s a useless feature for me, as I can convert from 12 to 24 hour format in my head easy enough.

This is my third Bulova (this year) and my favorite maker of timepieces. I'm lucky enough to financially afford most any maker but always spend on the Bulova brand. I'm also very hard on my watches and go through them quickly so cost can keep me away from a top of the line brands. Yes I make enough but buying 2 or 3 Rolex's a year would be stupid. I work with horses everyday but I hate wearing a watch with fabric and or rubber watch band and prefer metal. I also like wearing a nice watch everyday even at work which why I prefer Bulova's. Not too costly, very well made, really great looking watches that take a beating that I know for a fact. You can spend more on other great looking watches but you can't beat the bang for a buck that Bulova puts into their products. Read more

This watch matches well with my suits, got me feeling a little fancy over here when I go job hunting. All jokes aside, it is very well made and I would highly recommend it, Bulova has a knack for good design if you’re looking for a first watch, this in particular is my favorite, it is also water resistant as claimed. The band might be a bit big for your wrist so take off some links, I have a size 6.5 inch wrist so i had to take off about 5 or so links. If you don’t know how to, just go to your local jewelry store or go watch a YouTube video if you have the materials. Best part is that it came already set with the date and time so I didn’t need to configure anything. Read more

Great looking addition to my collection. There are plenty of links depending on wrist size, I had to remove 5 of them! Read more

Excelente watch. Had to get it adjusted to fit but I like the way it looks. My first black metallic band. Can use casual or dress up for sure. Can't fo wrong with Bulova. Read more

I was searching for a new watch, and this one was my "first choice". Unfortunately, I talked myself out of it, thinking that it was a small watch (looking at the pictures of it on Amazon, the face appears small in comparison to the size of the band), and purchased a Citizen watch instead. When it arrived, it had scratches on the band, so I took the opportunity to send it back and purchase this one instead. This one arrived and I was a bit shocked at the size. The band is actually a lot wider than what I'd call a traditional men's dress watch, which means the face itself is actually a good size. I'm 6'1" tall, medium build, this watch looks "solid" on my arm. If you're smaller in size, this watch would definitely be too big for you. Having worn it for a couple days now, here are some pro's and con's for the watch: PROS: 1) It's solid. Very solid. You definitely won't feel like you're going to break it. 2) The black face with the slight pattern looks nice. It's not too distracting, but does add character to the watch. 3) The chrono feature is a nice way to display the day of the week, the day of the month, and the 24 hour time equivalent. 4) It's water resistant up to 30 meters, so no worry about getting it wet! (Note: This number may not actually be correct. It's listed as 30m on the Amazon listing though another reviewer says that the manual doesn't list it as 30m resistant.) 5) It's classy enough to wear to work with a tie, but casual enough to wear with jeans and a polo. 6) The price is excellent. I purchased at $169.15, while local jewelry stores were selling the same model for $289. CONS: 1) It's a heavy watch (stainless steel band and case) so you'll definitely notice it on your arm. It may in fact be the heaviest watch I've ever owned (even heavier than the Fossil chrono I had a few years back). 2) While I do like the three chrono dials, they can be somewhat difficult to read in low light situations. Of course, this isn't a big deal - how many times do you find yourself in a movie theatre, wondering if it's Monday the 26th or Tuesday the 27th? 3) Speaking of low light, there is no "glow in the dark" on this watch. If it's pitch black, you're NOT going to read this watch. A couple of other notes. It doesn't have a perpetual motion second hand, but it's also NOT a precisionist model watch, so don't expect that if it's what you're looking for. It's also battery powered, so you'll eventually have to replace that once it wears down (no movement or solar charging on this one). All in all, I'm very pleased with this watch. It's a great buy if you're looking for a watch you can wear for work and play. UPDATE: 6 months later, I'm still loving this watch. I've gotten used to the larger size and weight. And surprisingly, after having worn it nearly every day since I got it, there are no scratches on the face (which is unheard of considering how rough I am on watches). If you're on the fence, definitely give this one a shot! Read more

Very nice for half the price you can buy from a jewelry store. Read more
