There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Let me preface this review by saying this is my first real big boy watch. I did buy a Tissot which did not work out. I did countless hours of research before settling on this watch. What initially attracted me to this was the very smooth sweeping second hand. I assure you after about 6 months of constant wear as a "beater", the movement appears to be holding true to the accuracy claim. I measured the accuracy against time.gov. The second hand is cruising smooth and cool. It has kept perfect time for me without gaining or losing so much as a second. I just adjusted it for daylight savings and I trust it can be relied upon for accuracy year round.
The overall presentation of the watch is stellar. The watch is big and serious. As an engineer, this watch tells people to calm the heck down because I know what I am talking about. The heavy steel bracelet and case have remained looking great even while collecting some dings and scratches. The bracelet is strong and the clasp is sturdy, albeit scratched. However, The 4 hex case screws and the space between the bezel and the case tend to collect a lot of grime and are difficult to clean. My arms are more muscular than average and I think this big monster helps accentuate my physique.
I have conked my wife with this thing and the hex screws have scraped her. Sometimes it's hard to find a comfortable position at night with this on my wrist. This beast is no joke.
The Window
I was worried that the non-sapphire window would scratch. This has not happened at all and the window is 100% free of scratches. However the window is curved and can make the face difficult to see at non-direct angles because the image of the face becomes warped. The window is also very reflective, which I personally find to be the greatest drawback of this watch from a presentation perspective, and because of the curve, I often am blasted with reflected ceiling lighting or sun before finding the right angle for viewing the face.
The Face
If you are bothering to read this, I do not need to sell you on the face of the watch. It looks exceptional. However I will warn you about a couple things. The luminescence is quite weak and the watch is difficult to read in darkness. Tragically, the minutes gauge on the chrono is too cluttered and small to read effectively. The small minutes gauge might be a deal breaker for real chronograph users because the minute gauge is a pretty important gauge. It would have been more useful to swap the placement of the 1/1000 gauge with the minute gauge when this watch was designed. I was hoping to be able to make more use out of the chronograph but due to the tiny minute gauge, I have not used the chronograph very much.
The Chronograph
The Chrono is fun to use. The buttons feel sturdy and everything functions. When starting the chrono, the second hand moves quickly into the 12 o clock position and then ticks (rather than sweeps) steadily. When stopping the chrono, the second hand resumes measuring real-world time. Cool! It is possible to pause and resume a chrono measurement.
There is a gauge for measuring to the tenth and hundredth of a second which seems to be (sadly) a tad slow but I have not attempted to measure/calibrate it in any scientific way. Also, the 1/10 and 1/100 gauge stops moving after 30 seconds but provides a readout after the chono is stopped. For the first 30 seconds and for 30 seconds after resuming a chronograph measurement I am mesmerized by those tiny hands whirring around with high accuracy at such an incredible rate.
The 1/1000 gauge does not move until the chronograph is stopped. So, it supposedly provides a final reading of the measurement to the precision of one one-thousandth of a second. The 1/1000 gauge is fun, but get real, there is no way anyone would ever use this or check it for accuracy without a robot. The human reaction time needed to depress the stop/start button totally negates any real usefulness of the 1/1000 gauge (or even 1/100 for that matter). I seriously question the 1/1000 gauge accuracy and challenge it's prominent placement on the face. Still, 1/1000 is kinda neat.
The crown/water resistance
Adjusting the time and date feels crisp and satisfying, both via the crown. There appears to be no issue with leakage or water submersion. I have not taken the watch diving, but showering and swimming is not a problem.
Thanks
I have enjoyed wearing this watch over the past 6 months. I hope the details of this review help someone make a decision one way or the other on this watch. I am afraid I have been bitten by the horology bug. I will be transitioning to a much different watch for a while... a Marathon GSAR automatic.
I have no problems with itching or any Discoloration. The Bulova Precisionist is Genuine! It carries a lil Weight some will say but I am use to it because of my height.
Only modification I have done is to remove a link to suit me!
