This proprietary manufactured movement, including the signature floating second hand, also offers a resistance to gravitational error that makes it superior in performance to any mechanical watch on the market.Summary of FeaturesPrecision timing to 1/1,000th of a second12-hour chronograph functionOne of the world’s most accurate movements – accurate to within seconds a yearPrecisionist-class torsional resonator movement proven in laboratory testing to be three times more accurate than standard quartzStainless steel case and braceletCurved mineral crystalMultiple-layer black carbon fiber, blue and silver dialYellow continuously sweeping second handLuminous hour and minute handsLuminous markersCalendar windowTachymeterScrew-backScrew-down crownWater resistant to 300 metersAbout BulovaIn 1875, Joseph Bulova, a 23-year-old immigrant, set up shop in New York City and a legendary American watch brand was born. Since then, Bulova has stood proudly in the vanguard of timekeeping innovation, committed to the legacy of creativity and excellence established by its founder.A pioneering force in the industry, Bulova transformed how watches were worn and how time was perceived, registering over 50 patents as he and his company built a record of creativity including the first full lines of men’s (1919) and ladies’ (1924) wristwatches, the first clock/radio (1928) and the first electric clock (1931). To ensure the utmost in precision, in 1920, Bulova even established its own observatory – located atop its New York skyscraper. With that same spirit of innovation, following World War II, determined “to serve those who served us,” Bulova established The Bulova School of Watchmaking, using new and unique methods to train disabled veterans for positions in the watch and jewelry industry. Then, in 1960, Bulova changed timekeeping forever with the revolutionary Accutron, the world’s first fully electronic watch. An integral component of U.S. space technology, Accutron timing was used on 46 NASA missions, including Apollo XI, the first lunar landing (1969).Today, as one of the world’s most recognized brands, Bulova has expanded across the globe, with four separate watch brands, Bulova, Bulova AccuSwiss, Bulova Accutron II and Caravelle New York, as well as the award-winning Bulova Clocks.The signature Bulova brand provides an extensive selection of watches for every occasion, crafted of the finest materials, including 315L surgical grade stainless steel, diamonds, mother-of-pearl, carbon fiber, top-quality leather and Bulova’s proprietary Duramic nylon/ceramic composite, and powered by Precisionist-class quartz, automatic and quartz movements. An industry leader in diamond watch styling, with the new Diamond Gallery offering exquisite designs in stainless steel with sapphire crystals, Bulova is also known for Precisionist, featuring Bulova’s proprietary Precisionist-class quartz torsional resonator movement for accuracy to within seconds per year, the Marine Star collection, combining high-performance sports timekeeping with superior durability and water resistance to a minimum of 100 meters, and a comprehensive selection of classic styles, each with a three-year limited warranty.

Absolutely love this watch!
I ordered this watch a few months ago and absolutely love it! This is my first Precisionist watch and I have been really impressed. Don't get me wrong, I love all kinds of watches - automatic, quartz, manual wind, etc, but this watch is such a great value for the performance!My favorite feature by far is the smooth sweeping motion. It is actually significantly smoother than any of my automatics that I own (although I will say, I do not own any high-end automatics, just a few entry-level and a few mid-level automatics).To get an automatic watch that has a sweeping motion as smooth as this Precisionist watch, you would have to spend SIGNIFICANTLY more money.I love the color combination on this watch. I mostly wear it with the included brown leather band (which wore in very nicely and still looks perfect after wearing it daily for months now). Sometimes when I wear black suits for work, I will swap out the band for a black leather band, and it still looks like it could have been shipped that way too.This is a great entry level watch with a great movement that I have thoroughly enjoyed so far!

A Great Deal for a Handsome and Accurate Watch
I bought the blue face/black band of this watch earlier in the year and have enjoyed wearing it. Keeps very accurate time and looks good both with dress clothes and casual. This version was a bit more expensive; though, in my opinion, still a bargain for what you get. No watch at this price will keep such good time and look so good. Others have written about the band, and so I will add a couple of thoughts: first, the brown band is more of a brown/gray mix, which matches no footwear or belts I have or can find; 2. the band is stiff for about 8 hours of wear. Once you get it broken in, it is easy to put on and very comfortable. I often forget I am wearing a watch. FYI, I have a smaller wrist and so have it secured on the second to last hole. Lots of extra strap, but still comfortable to wear.I can highly recommend this handsome watch as a real bargain, and good looking, too.

Unique quartz sweeping second - an eye-catcher!
So this is it - the famous Bulova 262 kHz quartz movement with the smooth sweeping second.Finished in 2012 they announced an accuracy of 10 sec/year. Nowadays they say 5 sec/monthwhich is quite a difference but a good value, too. But no longer HAQ (high accuracy quartz).Typically the movement achieves 2 sec/month. Due to the high quartz frequency and thesweeping second this results in a bit higher energy consumption. That was compensated witha fairly large CR2016 75 mAh battery which could reach a lifespan of 3 years. Sometimes only2 years if the watch got some longer running time before selling or not so good temperatureconditions.Thus energy consumption is technically around 0,003 mA which is 3 times higher than a normalquartz movement uses.Despite some rumours the movement uses no temperature compensation so it works best on thewrist at around 26°C/79°F. Lower temperature results in slower movement. Enough said on this.Let's talk about the watch itself:A beautiful silver/rose-gold watch with gray dial. But too much polishing. In my opinion brushingwould give a more useful appearance. You see every finger print and more which is kind of annoying.A good microfiber cloth gets permanent attention.I changed the leather strap (22 mm) in the very first contact to one of my favourites althoughit should get more flexibility during some days of wearing.The mineral instead of a sapphire glass is a con but when it is scratchy I will let it change toa sapphire one (~40 $).Seldom to read is the huge problem of color fading and deterioration of the rose-gold hands butif you look closely and open-minded to the pictures available in the net it is fairly evident. Ifinally got one of the newest batch which doesn't have this problem.Buyers should be aware of it - to accept it as a personal special edition for me is not a solution.Because I like the watch, the look and especially the sweeping second I bought the blue one, too,and probably will buy the black one also. It seems availability is going to run out, so be fast.They certainly will be a good catch at around 180-200 dollars.

Great watch, lots of bang for the buck!
This is a watch that provides a lot for its price point, this a high frequency quartz watch that is different from standard quartz pieces, as it has very high accuracy, a claimed time deviation of no more than 5 seconds/month vs. about 15 sec/month for normal quartz. It also has nice construction quality, good finish and a 100 meter water resistance. Great as a daily use low cost watch alternative.

Superbe montre à un prix très raisonnable ...
Superbe montre BULOVA neuve, à prix modéré (sans surtaxe douanière pour l'UE car vendue en Allemagne) qui fonctionne parfaitement. Classique, sobre, élégante, que demander de +... avec sa trotteuse fluide hypnotique digne de grand mouvement mécanique à 36000 alternances/h.

Excelente reloj
The media could not be loaded. Excelente reloj Bulova. Llegó impecable, es maravilloso el desplazamiento del segundero. Me gustan mucho más los relojes mecánicos (automáticos, cuerda) pero, ¿Cómo decirle no a un movimiento de cuarzo de alta precisión?.
