    • Worth the money!
I was in the market for an automatic watch and decided to get this one. I'm very impressed. The strap didn't fit my small wrist so I swapped that out and everything else is good so far. Very accurate, it hacks as the name implies. I love that it has hand winding in addition to the automatic movement. Great combo. I typically like the backs on automatic watches to where you can see the internals, but in this case I actually like the design of the back. I like the theme of this watch in general. I don't mind the 30m of water resistance but I'll probably end up getting a Bulova Mil-ship one of these days. Comparing it to my Seiko5 SNK809, I think the Bulova is the clear winner and worth the money. The Bulova may not have a day/date display like the Seiko5, but the Bulova hacks and hand winds, the Seiko does not. That's not a big deal to me as I can easily throw a couple pocket calendars with my prep stuff. Speaking of prepping, this is a great prepper's watch. Mechanical automatic movement means no worries about not being able to keep track of time in an EMP scenario. The only concern in that scenario would be forgetting to wind it and losing track of time. Just make sure to have a G-shock in a faraday cage bag along with other survival electronics like a solar USB rechargeable hub/power station, USB rechargeable batteries, electric lighters, radio, etc. so you can reference the G-shock watch when setting the time. ... show more

    • Classic military watch supporting a good cause
Nice 3 hand military hack watch that supports a great cause, the Veterans Watchmakers Initiative, the special etching of troops with a clock on the backside of the watch denotes this special model. Easy to read luminous dial. Keeps time accurately, and being an automatic it gives consistent performance as long as you’re wearing it. Does hold reserve power for a day or so if you take it off. Easy to set and the band fits well. A very nice watch that performs as well as watches twice the price. ... show more

    • Love the look
I’m a big fan of “issue” watches and this is a faithful reissue of the Bulova “GI” timepiece. The look is outstanding, especially when installing a Ritche od green nato strap, imo. Yes the strap covers the VWI insignia but so does my wrist…I like supporting,in a small way, the VWI and for the money, I got a quality watch. Mine gains about 6-8 seconds a day but no worries. I’m not timing the Olympics with it. The hack feature and manual winding capability is a delightful plus! Couldn’t be more pleased with this acquisition… ... show more

This is a well made watch that looks good and keeps good time. It does gain about 10 seconds a day but that's common for mechanical watches. Even Rolex watches gain about 5 minutes a month. The only reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 is the watch is heavier than what I'm used to. Not the fault of the watch. Mechanical watches are heavier than battery operated watches. It'll take a while to get used to extra weight. All in all, a fine time piece that keeps very good time and is high quality. If you want a quality watch that has 21 jewel movement and don't want to spend hundreds of dollars more for a Swiss made watch, I highly recommend this one. ... show more

    • Quality
So far the watch is keeping excellent time. It appears well built with high quality materials. I really like that it is self winding. I think this is a good purchase!

    • surprisingly nice watch
This watch is basic yet appealing. After some adjustments, it runs well with a deviation of about +4 seconds. It's comfortable to wear and looks excellent on a NATO strap.

This to review the 2020 Bulova A-17A homage watch. At first impressions, it’s a good watch for the price. The automatic movement is unidirectional winding so the winding weight is not heavy as in bi-directional automatic movements. The 21 jewel movement is low end Miyota by Citizen of Japan. The case and band are both Chinese. The watch was assembled in China. The watch should be fairly accurate but do not expect Rolex (+/- 2 sec) a day accuracy. I’m expecting (+/- 15-30 sec) which is within mil specs believe it or not. It does hack. I like it and included photos for you to look at to see what you are getting. Also I included a side by side comparison of an original 1958 A-17A which is the model this watch is based on. ... show more
