Color: Stainless Steel/ Blue and Yellow Accents
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)

I had a Bulova watch for 5 years and have been blown away by the quality and durability. It’s a tank of a watch. It got beat up everyday and is still trucking along but I wanted an upgrade. It’s so beautiful. It has so many cool features and is waterproof in 900 feet! It’s just as heavy duty as my other one and I can tell it’s gonna last. Bulova is super high quality and this thing is amazing!

This watch is fantastic! It looks amazing and it feels amazing on my wrist. It is heavy in a good way (It feels like it is a quality piece of craftsmanship). It looks and feels like whoever built it really cared about what they were doing. The glass is crystal clear and the size is really nice for someone like me who has bad vision. The band is super comfortable and also feels like good quality. I highly recommend this watch.It keeps perfect time which is another huge plus. I have other watches that I need to adjust by a minute or 2 every month. No need with this watch! I highly recommend this watch and I feel it is a good value for the price.

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!

The watch came in great shape and looks even better than the photos. If you’re deciding between this and the other blue band blue dial, I’d say go with this one. It looks more sophisticated less childish than the other colored dial watch. Don’t mean to put down a diff watch however I hope this helps someone deciding between the two. If you’re a young buck finishing high school, get the other blue dial. If you’re a jet setter and want a suitable watch to travel with and not worry about it getting dinged, this is perfect for travel, or any other circumstance. Cheers!

Beautiful quality watch. I couldn’t keep it because it’s quite large. Just didn’t look right on me. I have medium sized wrists.

You're in the great room at a large convention. All the usual suspects are represented on the various wrists there, Rolex, Patek Phillipe, Breitling, etc. It's a sea of cookie cutter figures: everyone dressed the same in black suits, grey suits, brown suits. You, however, know that in these settings, a man's socks and watch are the difference makers. This watch makes a bold statement of contemporary style mixed with ageless Bulova quality. It garners the right kind of attention and builds on the pieces of a well appointed outfit. I have many watches across the spectrum and must say that this piece sits beside the usual suspects with all the pride of a favoured Clydesdale. The sweeping second is nothing short of elegant and the materials maintain a clean shine. The glass compliments the matte face perfectly. The chronograph arrangement has a masculine styling layout and the band continues this bold theme all the way around. As a timepiece you will have a hard time finding something better. Seriously, it keeps time better than Rolex by a mile. It does however have two drawbacks you should be aware of. One is battery life. The sweeping design runs the battery constantly so expect to replace it up to twice a year. The second issue, for some, will be the weight. This thing is made completely of solid steel and as such it is quite heavy. It is around a full pound. The weight and battery life aside, I am completely satisfied with this watch. My recommendation applies to most any lifestyle as this watch works well dressed up and dressed down. This watch says you know your watchmaking and aren't afraid to pay for quality over the more known names in this price range (i.e. Movado using cheaper materials inside watches with their logo). Joseph Bulova created a legacy in watchmaking and the Bulova family pedigree is apparent in this piece. Add this to your collection, you won't be disappointed.
