Love the style,heft and second hand movement. Not happy that the lugs on the face loosen and fall off. Only use for special occasions. I don't think this would stand up to every day use.
I've had this watch for over 5 years. I wore it so I that the strap broke, $90 for a replacement. It's eye catching and masculine. Sweeping second hand.
Bought this for a family friend in honor of a major milestone. I wanted a durable, accurate and attractive watch to last him for years. I bought this one because I've had an earlier version of this watch myself for 12 years. (Mine has rose gold only on the face and hands, and originally came with a heavy, metal bracelet.) The *only* quibble I've had with mine is that it is not quite as accurate as Bulova claims. Mine gains 6 to 7 seconds a month instead the 5 or less claimed. Still the most accurate watch I've ever owned. Highly recommended.
I bought my Icon 5 years ago. I recieve compliments whenever and wherever I wear it. From Dubai to Cabo to New York city. I snorkel in it with no problem. I have a Bulova collection of 5.
