Worthless for Navigation - or Anything Else

I bought this watch just before Christmas and wished I had not spent the money on it. Unfortunately, the watch does not keep time. In my particular case, the watch I now own gains between 60 and 120 seconds per day. My disappointment arises from the fact that I will need to return it for service. To confirm this review, the serial number of the watch I now own is 182K02903 mand was purchased through Kay Jewelers in Lake Havasu City, AZ. Don't waste your time with this watch.

Bulova Response We are sorry to hear about the issue with your A-15 Pilot timepiece. It is unusual for this to occur as this watch is designed with a 21-jewel automatic movement that keeps time accurately when fully wound. Your satisfaction is important to us. We will contact you via email to provide solutions.

Great watch, suggestion to make it better

I purchased this watch today from my favorite local jewelry store. The watch is wonderful and beautiful. The upper and lower controls on the stem side of the watch which control the moving parts inside and under the crystal (the Rotating Elapsed Hour and Minute Dial Rings) are fascinating, but in order for the dials to work properly they need to be locked down. So, if you, Bulova, make another edition of this watch, please have the stems for the rotating dials pull out, then adjust the dials, and then push back in to lock the dials in place. They are way too easily moved which will change the elapsed time. Those adjustment stems just need to lock down to prevent the dials from moving once they are set. But otherwise, the watch is beautiful and seems to work wonderfully. I have a number of Bulova watches and Bulova is my favorite watch brand by far. All my recent purchases have been Automatic watches, which I love.

Military watch works great for civilan use

Lived up to its product description in every way. Inner dual time zone dial is not tight enough to avoid inadvertent movement, which might mislead wearer about accurate time in second time zone elsewhere. Only a small issue for me, though, because infrequently used. Illumination in the dark could be longer lasting during night-time sleeping. I do miss a date funtion. Otherwise, the dial and watchband look and function great. I much prefer its automatic movement without the hassle and ever increasing cost of replacing batteries. Would buy it again without hesitation.
