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.
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.
The leather strap was just too small for my wrist and couldn't wear it so it was returned. Did not try the cloth strap because I didn't want to possibly scratch it and not be able to return it.
