I purchased this watch because of it's unique design. Very smart looking. However, in the three years, I have had the motor replaced due to failure and it continues to lose about 3 minutes per day. I expected more from a Bulova of this caliber. I had the option of battery-powered, but felt the mainspring better reflected the design intent. I suspect the band was vinyl but I replaced it.
I got this watch as a gift over 4 years ago, and I still love it! The only complaint I have is that it runs a bit fast (About 2 minutes fast by the next day). Admittedly, I dropped the watch and had to get it repaired as a hand broke loose, but it still works great. I did end up switching from a leather band to a metal band though. While I really like the leather, after a while it looked tired. The metal band is much easier to clean, and it does not lose its appearance in the same way that the leather did.
I bought a watch for my brother in law n my father in law as a gift they loved it . The design, style and color has it's own uniqueness. It gives a grace to ur personality.
LOVE this watch. Not many flaws. It is mechanical, so you need to be wearing it for the time to accurately reflect it for the power. What I will say, is that sometimes I'll notice it speeds up a few minutes. Not wearing it for at least one day will also stop the battery. Otherwise great watch.
