Reviews
I have enjoyed wearing this watch. It is easy to see and is not too large, being I have small wrists. It is so comfortable that I forget that I have it on. It was a gift to me, but after receiving it and wearing it I would have bought one for myself. I like the fact that it isn’t battery operated and is self winding and a classic watch not loaded with a lot of unnecessary extra features. It’s a watch not a computer! Thanks for still making a simple, rugged, well made watch, and not made in China.
The perfect watch for me. I like the size, not bulky for my wrist. I have a small wrist and this fits perfect. Another reason I like it is it is luminous at night. Easy to read dial also. Great watch.
I have had a Bulova watch to wear since 1969. Most were automatics, but I had a space accutron and I currently have the Ultra High frequency large pocket watch. This hack watch is an almost exact copy of the watch I was issued in the Marine Corps. The Benrus I was issued in 1971 failed after 8 weeks, and I was issued a used Bulova from 1961 or 62. That Bulova ran until 1984 and it was a 17 jewel watch. My new one I just purchased is 21 jewel, but keeps perfect time. I set it to the NIST clock on the internet, I just checked it, and after 5 days is still exact to the second. I expect it will be a very great timepiece. Good job Bulova!
The Bulova Men Military Hack watch has a sleek design, but the face might feel small on larger wrists. The 40mm size would be preferred, 38mm may be a bit misleading. Additionally, the slim belt could be a preference concern; some may appreciate it, while others might prefer a larger one for a bolder look. Overall, it's a stylish piece, but consider sizing preferences before purchasing.

Great watch. Being an active duty military member I wanted something with heritage. Apparently quality and durability are not key components. A leather strap replacement will be 75 dollars. Very sad and disappointing. I have not worn this watch through any rough rotations. I'm a chaplain and my job does not have a major physical demand. The watch is great, the strap is trash. IF you do get this watch go with the nylon strap and not the leather.

Great Looking Timepiece
Love the watch and the appropriate NATO band. I especially like the watchface with the red 24HR inner track - it sets the face off from others. Buy one; you’ll love it!
My Hack
Love my new Bulova Military Hack watch I just wish the band was a little bit longer
An excellent time keeper
It's so hard today to find a watch just simply a watch. I had several different brands of watches over the years. Most of them didn't last very long. I admit that I'm tough on watches. Usually when you buy a high quality watch you get stuck with features that you don't need or want. Having served in the military for a few years I need a good watch that's durable and accurate that doesn't use batteries. I have a Bulova that my wife gave me for my Birthday a few years ago and it's great but it uses batteries. I have high hopes for this watch.
Great rugged watch
