Muy bonito reloj! Hay que tener en cuenta que el reloj es grande por lo que no es recomendable comprar si tu muñeca es delgada..

Outstanding watch…
Punches so far above its weight. Took it to a professional jeweler to have links removed and they were complimented it as a very well built, beautiful watch. Highly affordable and dead on the time for months on end. Lotta features and it’s easy to use. Wish it could illuminate but I’m nitpicking now. Classy watch!

Amazing timepiece
All I do is stare at it all day. It’s the watch that starts so many conversations and it’s a gem to look at.Simply the best watch for the price. It looks and feels more expensive than what it is.

Great quality, value and performance
I am very pleased with my purchase. This is my fourth Bulova watch using the ultra-high frequency quartz movement used in their Precisionist line. This model is better constructed than any of the other Bulovas that I have had. The quality of the case and band are excellent. Some have complained that the band and case have slightly different finishes (case is stain, band is slightly brushed) but I really could not tell much of a difference. The band is comfortable and drapes nicely around the wrist. It has a butterfly closure that I prefer bu ist hard to find in "sports" watches that normally use a tri-fold closure with a clasp. With the butterfly closure, there is no outer clasp to become scratched. The watch is listed at 45 mm diameter, which is accurate. However, it has a slightly stepped construction in that the diameter of the face of watch is about 41 mm. Therefore, this watch wears smaller than 45 mm. Because of this, I think it is better proportioned than many large chronographs.The best thing about this watch and the reason it was chosen by one astronaut as a backup watch is the legibility of the dial. (FYI: the Omega Speedmaster was the original NASA purchased watch but the Bulova was used as the backup watch by at least one astronaut on the moon mission. In that case, his Omega stopped working and the Bulova had to be used). Being able to see the time at a glance is excellent due to the design of the hands, the dial, and the fact that the sapphire crystal has an anti-reflective coating. You should be aware that the center sweep seconds hand is for chronograph seconds and will move only when activated by the top pusher. Continuous seconds is shown in the lower subdial where the hand will tick 2 times per second. Subdial on the right is for 1/10 seconds, and the subdial on the left is for lapsed minutes up to 60 minutes. The subdials could have been slightly larger and the 60 minute counter should have been reduced to 30 minutes as on many chronographs. The shape of the pushers are unique to this model and have been widely praised. I like them myself and they work great. In case you are wondering about the battery life due to the higher energy consumption of the movement, it far exceeds Bulova's estimate of 2 years. My oldest Bulova Precisionist is more than 3 years old and I have never had to replace the battery even with a continuous sweeping center second hand going continuously for 3 1/2 years. This battery life seems common based on the discussion on many watch forums. I think that this purchase is money well spent.

Value prop alternative to Omega Speemaster Pro
I have always loved the omega speedmaster professional (moon watch) and was doing my research on the countless reference numbers when I stumbled upon the Bulova Moon Watch. I was torn between just saving some more and getting the omega speedmaster reduced (about 2k) or just scratch the itch and hope it's goes away with the Bulova.Since I recently made a big purchase and bought a new Rolex datejust II, I figured why not try the Bulova For the $370 I paid (now listed at $350).I have to say, I am pretty pleased with the Bulova Moon Watch. The bracelet is comfortable and butterfly clasp is outstanding. The watch is precise as hell. The monochromatic dial is appealing and I find myself staring at it often when I wear this on the weekends. The raised sapphire crystal is a really cool and unique feature that I look at often as well.There are some cons in my opinion. Firstly, while this watch is not too big for my wrist (7.25 inches in diameter), Bulova should not have gone larger than 42mm. Even on the substantial bracelet, the watch is top heavy.. also, I wish the bracelet tapered. Lastly, I do wish the entire case matched the brushes surfaces as the bracelet. It's not screaming at me when I look down but just a little thing to note.I do not think this watch is suitable for anyone with a wrist smaller than mine or 7" at most. It's a big watch (not like silly invicta big).I do recommend this to someone who is looking for an omega speedmaster alternative. It satisfied my itch and has a really cool story to tell when people mistake it for the omega or just wonder what's on your wrist. For me, it's in the weekend rotation only since I wear a suit and my Rolex to work everyday.I hope this helps some of you on the fence.
