Keeps good time. Accurate to within seconds of my cell phone and Regulator wall clock. Cloth band is very comfortable, but a bit long for my wrist, so I just fold the excess band back under the 2nd sliding strap holder.

I love it for everyday wear, non vwi was cool too, but went with this one.
Bought this watch through a certified reseller and i am happy with the purchase. 38mm makes for a perfect everyday watch.
Really loving this 38mm field watch. Love that it harks back to the A-11 watch issued in WW2 by Bulova. My grandfather was at D-day so this is small way to help remember him. Beautiful domed crystal. Movement timing is quite good, better than the spec suggests. The single position crown is really satisfying to use and of course it's awesome that it hacks. Only complaint is the strap. I needed to add two holes, which made it fray, so I'll need to replace it with a NATO. Would love if Bulova included the non-VWI black leather nato strap too.
I love this watch but it came with no user instructions. There was a note indicating that there was setting instructions within the pamphlet but, there was only a note about where to go on the website to download a pdf file for user instructions. DUH!!!! Why not put the instructions in the box???? I received the watch and wanted to wear it that day. High marks for the watch and low marks for the company.
Excellent basic military watch however the illuminating dial markers and hands illumination level was low. In pitch black after exposure to bright light the numbers,hands and markers were dim.
Classic design watch with cool history. The watch seems dirty and has an amazing look. Got this for a birthday present for my son, and like other reviews note the band is really designed for someone with giant wrists apparently. We have it on the last hole in the band and it's still a bit loose. They really should add another couple adjustment holes.
I would have given the review 5 stars EXCEPT the was no set up up manual. There was was a pamphlet with a title set up instructions but, when you opened up pamphlet there were directions on where to find it on the website to download. DUH!!! JUST PUT THE INSTRUCTIONS IN PAMPHLET!!!!! When I open a watch box want to take out the watch and set it up and wear it at that moment NOT DOWNLOAD A PDF FILE!! The watch is just what I wanted. The watch looks even better than the image on the Bulova website. The crown is large and is very easy to grasp to change the time setting. It is comfortable on the wrist has a very classy appearance for a military style watch. The OD woven watch band is OK for those, like myself, who like the military look and has a comfortable feel. The appearance is so good that you could replace the band with a nice leather one and use it as a dress watch. Truly very nice piece of hardware.
