My son gave me this watch as a Christmas present, when I opened the box the first thing that caught my attention was its design and how well I thank my son for the gift and Bulova for such good watches
I purchased this watch today and couldn't decide between a metal (a different model) or rubber band. I went with rubber and don't regret it. I have a titanium citizen, a titanium Oakley (both discontinued models) and a few giant Diesel watches. The Diesels are obnoxious and flashy but feel too large after a short while. I wore this all day and while it felt heavy, I liked it. It didn't restrict my wrist movement or feel awkward and I got several compliments on it.
Excellent build quality and long-term timing precision. I like the shared use of the main seconds sweep hand for normal timekeeping and stopwatch functions. I wish all chronographs had that same design. Ridiculous number of gauge dials for a manually operated stopwatch - precision reported to 1 ms is stupid. Dial is confusing to read at a glance because the dial highlights match the hands highlights. I think the hands need a distinctly different highlight color.
I love the movment and the sweeping hand on the precisionist collection. This watch is great looking, but it is huge and the band is to large for me. I have never had an issue with a band being too large.. I think 42mm would have been a perfect size or different options for the band
