The picture shows the numerals easy to read but in fact the watch has to be at the right angle for the numbers to be read. Certain angles the numbers blend in with the background and cannot read. Strains eyes when reading time. I should have got the other one with the white background.
Beautiful watch I love it ,the classic design fits me very good
The Sutton is my second Bulova. In a nutshell, I couldn't be anymore pleased. When first seeing it as I opened the protective case, it far exceeded my expectations. Under close examination I found the quality flawless. In fact, I studied it for some time before even trying it on. The Sutton is my 3rd automatic. Like my other Bulova it has the open aperture back which only adds to the "automatic" experience. (Almost want to wear it upside down on occasion just to fully enjoy its full beauty!) Not having a date display is not a problem for me. I have several quartz watches that fill that need. As far as it's reserve, I tracked it three different times with the reserve finishing at about 23 hours the first two times. I discovered that my winds were not complete and on the 3rd track I fully wound 40 complete turns and finished at 42 hours! In summary, the Sutton is well worth the investment and I look forward to many years of enjoyment for under $300 in both appearance and performance. I purchased at bulova.com and had the normal 3 year warranty extended by one additional year. I personally think Bulovas' giving a four warranty says much about the confidence they have in their products. I only wish it had some lume, but then again, I knew that when I purchased.
Love the Sutton. Wish it came with sapphire crystal and butterfly clasp for band. Otherwise, A+ timepiece.
