Reviews
This is my second purchase from Bulova. I’m very impressed and happy with how it feels and looks. I’ve read some reviews that are not flattering but for me it’s a great watch and a great value to complement some of my more expensive watches (that might stand out to a watch connoisseur, but not to the value guy like myself).
What first caught my eye about this watch was the red and blue straps that reminded me of the Marine Dress blue Uniform. Paired up with a rose gold case and pin buckle I could not resist. The case size was perfect for a 7.5" wrist and had a perfect weight (a little on the heavier side if you like that kinda stuff). Match maid in Marine Star heaven.
I love watches and I own many brands but this one is different feel and I am enjoying this watch wearing everyday ❤️❤️🌷❤️❤️😍😍😍
My wife got this for me for Christmas bc I’m a retired Marine and the blue/red band looks like our Dress Blues. It has a rose gold case and matches BEAUTIFULLY with a nice suit or a nice tee shirt.
Having this in your collection would elevate your style. I called it love at first sight. Watch is a little heavy but not too much. The multiple colors band brings that extra style. The ban is a little thick. And likely long lasting.
This isn’t the most expensive watch on the website. However it makes me feel so expensive and important. I absolutely love this watch. Heads turn when I walk by and people always give me a compliment.
What a wonderful watch. The craftsmanship and elegance of this watch is second to none for this category of watches.
In love with this watch, even more beautiful in person, such a stunning piece. Thanks Bulova!

I just purchased this piece at the Hard Rock Hotel in Orlando. I had been looking for another automatic piece with a rubber strap that fits my over 9.5 inch wrist. This watch looks great on us guys who have large wrists. Plus the price was right. Looks like it costs thousands more. I have a Breitling and a Ulysse Nardin and this Bulova looks just as good if not better. Highly recommend this piece.
it always get peoples attention. I probably get at least 20 compliments (including 3 of my friends who are watch collectors) and counting since I bought it Dec of last year.
Got this one as a birthday gift and instantly feel in love with the craftmenship and quality. this is my everyday watch. Head turning and so many compliments. definitely my favorite. The blue and rose gold amazing combination.
Incredible how many complements I get with this watch. The rose gold contrasts the blue face nicely, this watch pops
If unique is what you seek then you have to look no further than this watch. The blue silicone band with the rose gold case is quite an interesting combination. The rose gold is pretty shiny and it stands out. It will definitely garner someone’s attention. The silicone strap is soft and very flexible. The dial is multi-dimensional. It’s texture on the dial coupled with the skeletonized component present a very pleasing view. The dial also has an active second-hand. I love the exhibition casebook. I know it's on the part of the wrist that can’t be seen but it’s aesthetically pleasing to some owners. The crown guards provide a nice bit of protection from accidental bumps. One down-side to this watch may be the case size. It was perfect for me. However, some may prefer a smaller case size. Below are what I consider some Pros and Cons. Pros No battery needed Hacking Feature Water Resistant Cons Mineral Crystal Luminosity Overall, I thinks its a good watch for what it offers.

This watch is amazing and it lives up to what it says it does with the comfy silicone straps makes it an everyday wear watch I used this watch everyday and wouldn't change it for the world from the last Marine star watches this watch hits way different
This was a gift for my younger brother. The dial size was perfect & the rose gold makes it not look too flashy. He loved it.
A really beautiful watch, I get many compliments. It's extremely comfortable and has a nice weight to it. It's my 6th Bulova in my collection, and is so far the most trendy. My oldest watch was a gift to myself for my first management job 20yrs ago and it still keeps time perfectly. I bought Bulova back then for the quality and affordability, and I still do today. Buy this watch and you'll not be disappointed. People will look at your $500 watch and be surprised that it wasn't $5000. I'm a fan for life of the brand!
Purchased 2.5 months ago and received many compliments. Today noticed the blue finish inside a decorative screw is gone. Really a bummer and will see about getting it warrantied. No I did not bang it or anything as the outer portion of the screw shows no wear or marks.

Zero Complaints
Absolute gem. There is not one complaint I have about this piece, that’s how perfect I feel it is. (Note photo of watch still has protective film over the face).
Thank you Bulova
This was a fast delivery I wasn’t expecting. I specifically got this watch for my son’s uncle as a birthday gift. In which I know he will love it. It was already hard for me to pick just one, from the few I was looking at. But I got it done. Dropped it off with his mom. Thank you Bulova and staff
