I really like seeing all the gears working in a watch, so I wanted a skeletonized watch. But all the ones I looked at had cheap looking gear cut outs added and felt really weak. Not the Bulova. The gears all look precisely cut and clean. The watch is a perfect blend of class and industrial. The only draw back is it must be wound up daily, but on the plus side there is no battery to change.
I recently purchased this watch last weekend and I love everything about it from the open face , aggressive styling of the band and dark look . My only complaint and the reason for the 4 stars is the lack of brightness from the glow marks on the hands and minuets. I would prefer brightness to last all night and be significantly brighter and I'm aware this is common in the watch industry but for $650 I'd expect to be able to tell what time it is wether it's 12am or 12pm . The glow lasts for about 10 minuets after it gets dark then good luck . Other than this 10/10
I received this watch as a father's day gift in 2018, and wore it frequently, until the band broke in 2020. This was my favorite watch. I have tried emailing them twice and never receive a response. Terrible customer service. I own 1 other bulova, but it is a chronograph, and while it looks really cool I've never found them to be useful in my life style. I wear it on occasion. This watch, the skeleton, is by far the best looking and timekeeping piece I have, I just wish they actually took care of their customers. I bought another one this year, for my sons 18th birthday, that shows how much i/we love its design. Would be a 5 star if they actually took care of it, like you'd think they ought to do when you buy a higher end time piece. When I think that it's literally been 3 years since I could wear it, it really chaps my hide.
