Bracelet is soft, flexible and beautiful design. I love men's watches and is usually come in big doesn't fit me except this one. It fits perfectly on my wrist. The blue and red markers/hands stand out which makes the watch more tasteful and interesting. The blue strap is great to wear on the weekend.

Love my Bulovas
Watches are my passion, bulovas are my favorite. I own 10. My dad wore his little square watch for approximately 30 yrs. For my high school graduation in 1972 I received the classic jet star which I wore for 30 yrs. Recently I purchased the commemorative stainless steel Jet Star, which is essentially the watch received in 1972. One proud fellow!!! Once again thank you.
My Second Bulova
Wow! I am a Bulova fan. The sweep on the second hand is impressive! The colors are incredible and the reflections when the sun shines on it keep me looking at it. My other is a Surveyor Burgundy and it's nice to have the Automatic and Precisionist movements.I haven't worn it on the leather strap, but the stainless one is very comfortable. I ordered a fairly expensive Swiss moonphase but returned it immediately because the quality did not match my Bulovas. I am very pleased with the price and quality of Bulovas!
Bulova Response
Tick with STYLE
I had one watch for years until I sent it to a jeweler for repair. The jeweler was either too old or confused to work on the Watch. This old watch was a W3 divers model accurate to two or three seconds a day. It was an amazing watch. Anyhoo the jeweler goofed the watch up and it died. Too expensive to repair! The search was on for a new watch. I ran across the Bulova Accutron. I’m 76 years old so I remember the first accutrons. I was really taken by the red, white and blue colors and the style! The workmanship is the finest I have ever seen on any watch. The watch case and bracelet are perfect…….not a flaw. The watch style is not over stated or diminished…..it’s perfect, IMHO. Accuracy! I’ve had the watch for only a week but it hasn’t lost of gained a second. I don’t know how long this watch will last but I sincerely hope it lasts as long as my other mechanical watch. Bulova you did a fantastic job on this watch and I appreciate it very much. Thank you! BEST Will
Everyday watch
Wow! I needed a new watch and just accidentally spotted the red white and blue watch! An election year, my candidate is in the White House…..what could be more fitting. Workmanship is top of the line. The band is especially nice. Visibility is outstanding. I can read it anywhere. Great watch Bulova ya do good!
