Perfect for me!,

This review is from: Bulova Men's 96C100 Marine Star Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch (Watch)
First off, I didn't buy it from Amazon. I purchased it locally at a store sale, and improved over Amazon's price. Not bragging... well, maybe a little. Just a case of being at the right place at the right time.
That said, I still feel like this watch is a great price from Amazon. It's just that nice!
It was the largest watch in the jewelry case, which is what first caught my eye. I'm a big guy, and just don't care for the weenie-size offerings of most manufacturers. There are some bigger watches on Amazon, but this one at 1 3/4" case diameter is perfect without being gaudy. A word of caution: it is very heavy at 1/2" thick, and if the band isn't tight tight, the crown will be jabbing the back of your hand when your arm is down.
One reviewer stated the second hand wasn't aligned with the tick marks. Mine is spot on. Another reviewer stated the glow-in-the-dark feature was less than stellar, however I haven't had opportunity to check that out yet so I...Read more

Nice unique watch,

This watch looks and feels like very high quality. The steel is well polished and the face is beautiful. The large numbers (all 12 of them) are very distinct and make it easy to tell the time. Many watches have 4 numbers and then dashes, but this watch is unique with all twelve large numbers. It keeps time very well and could easily be your low maintenance everyday watch. Some people prefer a quartz watch like this because it only needs battery maintenance once per year, rather than having to reset the clock every time you let it sit for 3 days like most automatics. Taking away one star because i don't like day dates on my watches. I believe watches are show pieces like jewelry and I don't want to mess with dates every other month. My cell phone is my gadget device.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bulova Men's 96C100 Marine Star Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch (Watch)
A Bulova like this one can be a very expensive watch in some other countries. Since I travel frequently, I have the oportunity to compare prices and I can say that for me this purchase was a very good deal.
For those who like big watches this is indeed a great choise.
