I'm fond of tank style watches and was on the look-out for a silver one with a black band. This one seemed to fill the bill. It's a good looking watch with classic lines. The design is simple but elegant and not too flashy. In fact, it is quite understated compared to many watches I've seen. One thing though, the watch is somewhat small. I had to double check to see if I hadn't received the woman's version by mistake. Compared to a Kenneth Cole tank watch I own, it's half as thick and maybe two-thirds the size. I was afraid it wouldn't look right as I have large hands and wrists. But after trying it on, it actually looks pretty good. It is certainly unobtrusive. On the negative side, the date window is tiny. It's difficult for my fifty year old eyes to read. I haven't owned it long enough to judge it's durability, but based on appearances and Bulova's reputation, it should hold up well.

This watch was a present; my grandson's first watch. It is small enough to fit (almost perfect) yet is easy to read.

When I asked my dad what he wanted for his birthday, he said he wanted a watch that had clean lines and was "classic" looking. After browsing in many stores and online, I kept coming back to this Bulova. It is sleek, yet substantial. It is a good size, not overly large as some men's watches can be. My dad's reaction to the watch was great. He loved it and said it was the best gift he's ever received. He has since mentioned that he wears it nearly daily and that it goes well with his business attire and casual wear. Overall, I think this Bulova was a great choice and with the company's reputation, I know my dad will have this watch for a very long time.

This watch is classy,accurate,and by no means a sissy watch,it is very tough despite it beung a smaller watch.if you do not mind a smaller watch you will love it,if you prefer larger heavier watches then do not buy it.most people will not be able to read the date window.Bulova makes an excellent watch and this one will be around for a long time.

Perfect with suit or "black tie". Compares favorably with finest watches in appearance. Perfect size, elegant but not glitzy.

I wear this watch everyday to work. It works great. I like the clean, simple look of the watch. I use the date feature almost daily. The band is comfortable. Couldn't be happier with my purchase.

GREAT PRICE, SIMILAR WATCH AT MACY'S WAS $150 MY HUSBAND HAS A SMALL WRIST SO THIS LOOKS GREAT ON HIM!!

I'd rather give this a 4.5 star review but I don't get the option for half-stars.

I've had one of these since 2005 and it's a great little watch. Simple, understated and classy. I can wear it with a suit or with more casual clothes, and itt keeps excellent time. The one little teeny problem is the date window -- it's really VERY small and can be hard to read.

I was looking for the black dial but for this price but did not find it so I ordered this white dialed leather strap watch and I love it.

A good deal, my wife chose it for me... and i liked it. Do not expect aything outstanding .. just the same as it looks on the image.
