This is a reliable and gorgeous watch. The edges of the rectangular face tend to chip and replacing the face crystal is a difficult proposition and expensive. A round face would chip less and a rectangular or square face that was set inside the watch, instead of with exposed edges, would chip less. Two years after purchasing, I am having to ship it back to Bulova to have the face crystal replaced at an expense of about $70 including shipping. In short, it is delicate.
Absolutely beautiful watch. My daughter loves the styling of her new Bulova Quadra watch.
Bought watch for my wife for Valentines Day. She loved it and me too!!!
