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.
Perfect field watch
Purchased this watch to replace a cheap field watch that failed. I loved the genes (WW2) of this watch, along with its connection to the Veterans Watch Initiative. The watch is beautiful, a perfect size and very legible. The band is big for my wrist but I tuck the end of the band under and secure it with the second sliding metal clasp. Really pleased with this watch!
Love my new Hack Watch by Bulova.
Great looking watch with understated style. Easy to read. Elegant in its simplicity. Wear it all day every day.
Nice Watch!
This is a great watch! I like how the watch is made and the readability of the dial. I'm new to mechanical watches and this seems to be a good entry level watch for someone like myself. It's nice that 10% of the purchase goes towards the Veteran Watchmaker Initiative. The only issue i have was the watch strap was a little big for me, but my wrist is 5.75" so I feel this complaint is me being an exception.
Great watch
Looks as good or better than $1000 feild watches. Love it.
