This piece screams classy and sophisticated. It’s a gift to my man for our one year anniversary. He’s been looking at it for a while. I know he’s going to love it!!
Hefty watch. The weight, the design and angles all contribute to first impression: precision machinist did this. The looks pair perfectly with the accuracy of the precisionist movement. I love the way the 1/100th dial echos the watch outline. Not your typical watch face layout which helps this one stand out.
This is a big heavy watch, being about 16 mm thick and 45 mm diameter. Weighing in at over 9.8 oz (which is over half a pound), it's one of the heaviest watches I own. All that being said, it's probably also one of the nicest watches I own. Even though it has a ridiculous 1/1000th of a second capability, human beings aren't even that accurate in their own reaction time. But, it is really cool to see that type of accuracy on a watch. I'm glad it has an on/off switch for the seconds hand. I don't run the smooth seconds hand all the time, for longer battery life. But, it is fun to show off! The open area on the face between the subdials is a little odd, took me a while to get used to. It has a screw down crown, accommodating its 300m water resistance rating. The butterfly clasp band has large links and polished surfaces making it very attractive. Overall, a very large heavy watch not made for small wrists or timid individuals. I have an 8-1/4-in wrist, see my photos.
This is a big, hefty watch, definitely not for the timid. I wear my watches with many bracelets on each wrist simultaneously, so I need a watch that can balance with the contrasting thinness and lightness of the bracelets and the alternate wristwatch. The time keeping is perfect. I set all my watches to time.gov and this Bulova Precisionist is aptly named. It has not varied a second in the two weeks or so since I set it. The polish on the case and bracelet is like a mirror finish. I love this great watch. It is so worth its price. Now to find a Bulova moon phase watch to wear on the other wrist.
