WOW factor: 11

The 96B251 comes with a leather and a nylon strap and looks great on both. Perhaps more importantly, it feels good on the wrist. The watch features the HPQ NP20 movement that also powers the 98A285 50th Anniversary Limited Edition that I've owned since 2021; I've set that watch once when it arrived, and it is still exact compared to time.gov. Bought directly from Bulova around Thanksgiving at a discount. I was considering an automatic, but service on a Moonwatch is more expensive than my new Lunar Pilot. It's a no-brainer: buy it!

Looks great, Terrible quality movement

I wanted to love this watch. Right out of the box the looks are superb. The only exception is the printing on the date dial which is of poor quality. If I had a do-over, I would prefer the non-date face with the stainless steel case. Unfortunately, while timing contractions in the hospital nonetheless, the timer function broke suddenly. This was a brand new watch shipped directly to me from Bulova. None of the hands would reset to zero and the remainder of the two day birth experience was done with no watch. Bummer. After sending it in for service, I received it back still broken. First try of the timer yielded hands that reset to anywhere but zero. What a letdown for $500+. Do yourself a favor and choose a different watch. Sorry to be a downer.

Water resistant - NOT

Went scuba diving to 15m with the watch, which is water resistant to 50m. The chrono stopped working after the second dive. There was condensation inside the crystal. Overnight the watch died. Will get a replacement. Hoping it’s a fluke.
