  • An affordable, beautiful dress watch with a smooth-sweeping second hand
Let me be clear: pictures do not do this watch justice. It really is a stunning timepiece that stands out among a sea of dress watches which are either extremely conservative and dull or garish and tacky. In photographs, the stainless steel case of the watch appears dull and uninspired. In person, this watch's combination of polished and brushed stainless steel is very attractive and shines brightly. In the stock photos on Amazon, the wave detail on the face of the watch appears very boring. In person, one can truly see the level of detail that that went into the design of the dial - not only the actual lines and their contours, but the exquisite gray color which adds a lot of classy pizzazz to an otherwise conservative watch face. It's a very subtle addition to the design of the watch, but it pulls the look of the timepiece together perfectly. The hour markers are chrome accented which creates a nice contrast with the steely dial. I also think that pictures make the watch seem a lot more squat or round than it really is. To make a long story short, you have to see this watch in person to really appreciate how nice-looking it is. The hands and the hour markers have lume on them. The lume is actually pretty bright but doesn't last long at all. I never expect dress watches to have decent lume, so I wasn't bothered by this shortcoming. The size is a tad larger than what I prefer in a dress watch, but it's much more elegant and reasonably sized than other affordable watches and Bulova Precisionists. Due to the high-frequency quartz movement, the second hand sweeps as smooth as butter, and more smoothly than any ETA movement I've seen. . I love automatic watches and rarely buy quartz, but this watch seemed to give me the best of both worlds: the ease and accuracy of quartz with the sweeping second hand of an automatic. Bulova claims this movement to be accurate to 10 seconds a year, and after several weeks of wearing this watch, I've not noticed any loss or gain of time. Bottom line: this is a really great watch. It doesn't have a sapphire crystal or a Swiss automatic movement, but it does have an exquisite appearance, an accurate movement, and a sweeping second hand. At this price, it can't be beat. ... show more

  • Excellent watch. Looks great, and the quality is obvious
I like watches. I particularly like Bolova watches. I have two others. A rugged sports chrono, and a Frank Lloyd Wright special edition. I also have a super thin Rotary. I have always wanted a Precisionist. But these were usually a bit out of my price range. Amazon had a special sale price, and I grabbed it. I am so glad that I did. The quality is obvious, and the sweep second hand is mesmerizing. The size is perfect. It is not the huge diameter that seems to be the fad right now. It is has a classic look. It is simple, yet elegant. I have always thought that the other much more expensive brand that features the sweep second hand, was ostentatious. That is the watch that I have seen every car salesman wear. I find them to be boorish. Even if they were in my price range, I probably wouldn't own one. I like the understated look of this watch. It looks expensive. Classic, but not gaudy. I switch out my watches, depending on the occasion. But this will probably be my daily wear. ... show more

  • Beautiful and unbelievably accurate
This watch is probably the simplest design of the Bulova Precisionist line. It is elegant with an extremely interesting face and the famous smoothly moving second hand. I bought it to use as a dress watch. It is appropriate for office wear, a dinner date or possibly even with a tuxedo. Others have correctly pointed out that the leather band supplied is awful. I replaced it with an inexpensive but infinitely better black leather band. The watch also looks great with a stainless mesh bracelet. The watch’s accuracy is, so far, astonishing. Using the Watch Tracker app, I compared the time shown on the watch to the Atomic Clock numerous times over a two month period. During the first month the watch was kept indoors at around 72F for 95% of the time. It was worn only occasionally. During the second month the watch was worn approximately 12 hours a day. The app measured a total difference of -0.2 seconds over 60 days, a rate of loss of only 0.004 seconds per day! The app's potential measurement error is estimated to be +/- 0.25 seconds (per measurement). So, based on the measured difference of -0.2 seconds over two months, the range of possible total offset is -0.7 seconds to +0.3 seconds over two months, which projects as a worst case gain or loss of between -4.2 seconds and +1.8 seconds per year. After a reset for DST, the accuracy for the third month remained remarkable, measured at a rate of -1.1 seconds per year. We'll see if this amazing level of accuracy continues for this watch. If so, the expected annual gain or loss will be consistent with Bulova's circa 2010 marketing claim, now abandoned, that the watch is accurate to 10 seconds per year. UPDATE- After seven months (with two resets) the watch has lost a combined total of 0.7 seconds, or a tenth of a second per month, and continues on the same projected annual loss of about one second per year. Incredible. I paid $258, at which price this watch is a good value. ... show more

  • Wonderful watch, arrived safely. No documentation
The watch itself is beautiful, and the sweep is indeed mesmerizing, I would say it gives spring drive a run for its money in the smoothness category, at a much lower price point. The only thing that was a bit strange is that the watch arrived with 0 documentation which seemed odd. Otherwise it’s a beautiful watch that I look forward to having for a long time. ... show more

  • Beautiful dial and incredibly smooth sweep
The media could not be loaded. What a joy to watch the seconds hand sweep around the face of this watch. The quartz precisionist movement rivals the Grand Seiko for smoothness all while delivering amazing accuracy. Because this is a quartz movement, it is very lightweight and thin. It sits on the wrist comfortably and despite its size, is easy to forget it's even there. Pull the trigger on this watch. You won't regret it. ... show more
