I have had this watch for about two weeks now. For the money, I am very satisfied. It feels sturdy, has a good fit and finish, ticks smoothly, holds good time, and has a decent enough power reserve. The band feels substantial and has very little play inbetween the links. I personally love the skeletonized look of the movement - seeing the escapement operate is very satisfying for a mechanically inclined individual like myself. I recently took this watch up to 14,500 feet at the top of Mt. Whitney and it had no issues operating at that altitude, or in low temperature/wet environments. I've washed my hands with it on many times and so far no water has gotten inside. The surface has also held up perfectly well even after rubbing up against a few things. Overall, I am very satisfied with this watch. It is a no-nonsense high quality approach to the classic automatic movement.
The Automatic is a work of art time piece. Excellent craftsmanship and exceptional beauty. The watch has heft so you can feel that you're wearing it, as well as its transparent design with the glass backing so you can see the internal workings. Bulova is the top of the class!
I love this watch! The look, the feel, the comfort, but the clasp comes undone at random times. I was at a sports venue and the watch literally came undone while I was cheering and flew three rows in the air off my wrist. If not for that, the watch would be perfect.
