I like the watch but......

I like the looks and feel of the timepiece but I am disappointed in what I perceive is its inability to "wind itself" much more than 24 hours, hardly the "automatic" feature I was expecting. It holds its time well, I know that because I've been pacing it alongside my battery powered 15-year-old Timex. I wind the Bulova upon rising each day to make sure it is always functioning.

An excellent time keeper

It's so hard today to find a watch just simply a watch. I had several different brands of watches over the years. Most of them didn't last very long. I admit that I'm tough on watches. Usually when you buy a high quality watch you get stuck with features that you don't need or want. Having served in the military for a few years I need a good watch that's durable and accurate that doesn't use batteries. I have a Bulova that my wife gave me for my Birthday a few years ago and it's great but it uses batteries. I have high hopes for this watch.

It's good, but at this price it could be better

Bought this watch because I wanted something mechanical that wasn't going to look like a hubcap on my wrist and which didn't have half a dozen tiny, useless dials on the face. This watch tells you the time and nothing more which, to my mind, is all a watch needs to be. Accuracy is decent. I've set the watch to the NIS website every morning for a week, and noted a gain of about ten seconds a day. The hacking feature makes this easy to compensate for, if second to second accuracy is important to you. The lume is decently bright, but fades quickly; curiously, they omitted to add any to the second hand. Time will tell whether this watch holds up to the rigors of daily wear. Already the watch has several tiny nicks in the bezel, which is surprising to me since it's stainless steel and I've been careful not to bang it around. By comparison another automatic I've owned for years, and haven't been particularly careful with, looks brand new, and it cost about 1/3 of this watch. At this price point, I would have expected more durability.

Great rugged watch

I have enjoyed wearing this watch. It is easy to see and is not too large, being I have small wrists. It is so comfortable that I forget that I have it on. It was a gift to me, but after receiving it and wearing it I would have bought one for myself. I like the fact that it isn’t battery operated and is self winding and a classic watch not loaded with a lot of unnecessary extra features. It’s a watch not a computer! Thanks for still making a simple, rugged, well made watch, and not made in China.
