This is a fantastic watch. I love the smooth sweep of the second hand. I also love the accuracy. The red dial looks great and the bracelet is comfortable. I am so happy I bought this watch.
Fits great on the wrist, and the dial is an amazing burgundy that looks much better in person than in the product photos. Also the sweeping seconds looks much nicer than the “ticking” seconds on all other quartz watches.
I purchased my Jet Star directly bbbthe crimson red dial and it is amazing! The case and bracelet look and feel cheap. The highly polished parts of the case and bracelet look like fake plastic chrome. Bulova needs to take a page from Seiko and Citizen on their fit, finish and bracelets. I am being generous in rating this watch 2 stars. The only reason for 2 stars are the dial and movement. Everything else is a 1 star rating. Would I buy this watch again? Probably not!
As I mentioned in a previous review, I purchased 2 Jet Stars: red dial and gold-tone dial. The red dial Jet Star has a comfortable steel bracelet and I really like the deployant clasp. The dial contrasts (dark red face with black chapter and silver and red hands) make it easy to read and add quiet elegance to the watch. The machining of the stainless steel case is superb. The HPQ is an accurate and precise movement.
Fantastic execution on an archive release, while incorporating a modern with the precisionist movement. The red is so red.

This watch looks great on the wrist. The case size fits nicely, and it's great that the bracelet has built in quick release metal straps. The deployant is easy and firm, and the deep purple maroon color looks great.
I just received the Red Jet Star in the mail today. Right out of the box, the watch is quite stunning. The sunburst dial is hypnotic in optimal lighting. The bracelet is very comfortable and a fingerprint magnet - but that is the price you pay for the flash. I am looking forward to keeping this on my wrist for the next few months. Definitely a daily driver for the proper setting. Would make an excellent gift to anyone who wears a watch.
I recently purchased this watch from a local dealer. The dial looks so much better in real life then in the stock pictures. It has a lot of heft to the watch, however the sizing of the case and the unique square H bracelet really impress me. The red hues remind me of the Mazda Soul Red Crystal paint as the color changes upon the angle of the light hitting it. I love the smooth second hand sweep and while I realize that the battery may need to be changed every 2 to 3 years the screw down case back and quick release band should make it an easy effort. Major negatives is that it does attract fingerprints easily and while it is domed there is still quite a bit of reflective glare from the sapphire crystal. An antiglare coating would have been appreciated. Beautiful watch overall, I love mine!

I purchased this watch for the smooth sweep of second hand and the incredibly accurate time. It hits it out of the park in both these parameters and the red wine color dial is exactly the right color
Excellently styled, can fit a multitude of wrist sizes, highly accurate with low maintenance quartz movement. The movement mimics the second hand of a high-beat mechanical movement. Fair price for what the watch is.

Gorgeous watch, fits my wrist perfectly. Love the minimal pins in the band coupled with quick release at the watch connection. I also like the seamless butterfly clasp. Color is unique, second hand smooth, hyper accurate as advertised. I enjoy it every day. Great price too! I like the Bulova history. My dad had an early Accutron from the 1960's and I had a similar looking quartz Bulova in the 1980's. The Jet Star is a home run
The pictures don't do it justice. 5 stars!
