This is my first Bulova and have to say its a hefty timepiece, great details on the dial face, bezel and essentially, the entire watch. The bracelet is chunky, although detailed with a combination of brushed and polished finishes, with the Bulova logo, however I found it to be a little brash and ungainly. I promptly substituted it with a 24mm NATO strap natostrapco.com and now the watch looks proportional and easier on the wrist. This inner details of the watch face are spectacular; the carbon fiber is industrial, the "engraved" steel ring connecting all the hour markings and the blue/cobalt ring that only reflects when light shines on it. The crystal has a complex curve on it and this is the only watch I have seen that has such a curve on it. The outer ring on the face is raised and has the tachymeter markings as well. The non rotating bezel is polished and has black engraved markings such as diver 60 min markings; the side of the bezel is also textured and 4 hex screws holding everything together. The case is large and tall, with a dual brushed and polished steel finish. The 3 push buttons are polished and the screw down crown has an engraved Bulova logo, it is has an engraved angled gear patten for handling and is protected with crown guards on either side. Now down to the mechanics, in a word its fabulous. The stop watch in motion is absolutely gorgeous to look and the primary driving force behind the purchase of this watch. The smooth motion of the large second's hand is sublime and the added infinity symbol of the precisionist line is a nice touch. The transition from normal mode to the stopwatch function and back again is nice to see as it moves faster to move to the 12 o'clock position to zero the stop watch and then rushes to catch up to the current time once switching back from the stopwatch to the normal mode. Then there are the sub-dials; top most displaying two needle hands measuring 10th and 100th of a second, left one measuring the minutes, the right one measuring the hours and the bottom most the 1000th of a second, while the large second's hand, doing its thing measuring the seconds. The hour and minute's hands are hollow broad sword style hands, with luminous markings on the tips (luminous markings are on each hour marking as well, however that is one downside to this watch, not at all bright and frankly a bit poor, however not a deal breaker for me). This watch is great and a lot going for it, the size may deter a few people, but replacing the bracelet with a leather/Ballistics Nylon or NATO / ZULU strap changes the characteristics of the watch and reduces the acreage it occupies on your wrist. In is a good way, by reducing the BLING factor of this watch, not something that I was going for. It looks more understated and you will blind fewer pilots and thus make the skies a safer place... which is a real public service. SSSSSOOOOOO.... UPs are... - Great watch - Awesome movement - Great detail and finish DOWNs are... - Brash bracelet (decided to replace it with a 24mm ballistics nylon NATO from natostrapco.com) - Large / heavy (may apply to individuals with slimmer wrists, but on my 7" wrist looks great once the bracelet was removed) - Luminous markings are not too bright (not a deal breaker at all)

A man's watch ! Beautifully built. A stoic timepiece. The Stainless Steel band is a perfect compliment. The watch itself is something IN itself. Just an amazing piece. The sweeping second hand is an almost perpetual movement like a rolex. Very hard to distinguish a difference in movement. It looks great. A dress watch for some...but I'm a daily wearer. I'll wear a watch for years. I have no fear to put this watch through the paces of daily life. It is very rugged. I love it and I'm a hard person to please. As for weight...it may not be up everyones alley. This watch has weight to it and you should do the weight and size research before you buy. Again...A man's watch ! There are great deals on this watch if you pay attention to sale days. With that said take the deals when you can, because it went up $100 the day after I purchased it.

First, a quick mention of the fact that Amazon came through for me where a big jewelry retailer could not (every kiss begins with...). I initially purchased this watch on clearance from the other retailer, received an obviously-used (and damaged!) watch, returned it and ordered from Amazon instead. The deal wasn't QUITE as good but Amazon sent me a perfect, never-worn watch on the first try. So, thanks for that! The watch itself? It's large, heavy and not very practical. But it's also utterly fantastic. Things I particularly love about it: - Precisionist movement (cool to watch the second hand sweep on a quartz watch) - Crazy dial with all sorts of details to admire from different angles (pictures can't do this justice) - Curved case/bezel/crystal (another thing you really need to see in person - it isn't quite as pronounced as something like a Richard Mille but it's neat) I recommend checking this out at a store first if you can. That could shift things in either direction for you. But this is definitely one of the coolest watches in my collection.

This Bulova Precisionist 98B228 model is a masterpiece. It is beautifully crafted and oozes quality and precision. The Bulova 98B228 is a beefy, robust timepiece and while it is on the larger side, it is not excessively so. It is a perfect masculine size for the bigger guys - nice and heavy yet superbly well balanced. The watch is replete with functional and decorative complications and details, which in combination makes the face, case and band strikingly intricate. This watch sports perfectly polished components, which are tastefully mated with brushed and gold plated elements. The textural trifecta coupled with the gracefully curved crystal coalesces to form a lavish, lustrous, light catching work of art for your wrist. The 98B228 is extremely accurate (<1 second per month). When you unscrew the crown and open it to the last detent to set the time, the second hand zeros out. By simply pushing the crown inward to time sync (like depressing the pusher on a stopwatch) the time will be set to the split second - fantastic. My 98B228 currently matches the official NIST clock to the second at the time of this review. The calendar is not perpetual, but I have no issues with changing the date five times a year. This watch and the other models in this series are a great value. I really love watches, but I do not understand spending thousands of dollars on a single one. I fell in love with this Bulova - so much so that I've purchased two other versions of the top-level Precisionist. All three together cost me less that 1/3 of a Breitling or low end Rolex!! Get one...or three; you won't be disappointed!
