I bought the watch for its historical value. The case is nice I found the strap cheap, and the NATO strap awkward. I did and an after market leather strap on it and it’s was much better.
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.
