Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Unwrap elegance with Bulova's Diamond-Accented Automatic Watch. An ornate, silver-toned brass bezel swings around a mother-of pearl dial that is accented with 44 diamonds. The dial also features inset heart patterns that host diamond embellishments and offer a sneak peek into the watch's inner workings. Japanese automatic movement powers luminous, silver-toned hands, which are protected by a flat metalized mineral crystal. The watch stays in place with a silver-toned, stainless steel bracelet and a luxurious, push-button deployment clasp. This classy timepiece is water resistant up to 99 feet, which is fine for washing hands or doing the dishes, but should not be submerged for a long period of time.

The Bulova Story

In 1875, a young Czech immigrant named Joseph Bulova set up shop in New York City, and a legendary American watch brand was born. Bulova was trained as a jeweler, and his expertise carried over into his watchmaking career, which began around 1911 with boudoir clocks and pocket watches, and soon evolved to include what was then one of the latest and most fashionable technological innovations: the wristwatch.

Bulova introduced its first line of wristwatches in 1919. The company grew and prospered, and soon early radio and television ads were declaring, "America runs on Bulova time." In the 1950s, continuing its legacy of innovation, Bulova introduced Accutron, the first electronic watch, and the first breakthrough in timekeeping technology in over 300 years. The Accutron timing mechanism was later adapted for use by NASA computers and a Bulova timer was even placed on the moon to control transmissions of data. Bulova timepieces have kept official time aboard Air Force One and have also served as official timepieces for U.S. Olympic teams.

Today, Bulova maintains its tradition of excellence in technology and design, offering a diverse collection of beautiful precision timepieces for every occasion.

This review is from: Bulova Women's 96R122 Diamond Accented Automatic Watch (Watch)

Bought this watch as a gift for my daughter. The diamonds are TINY around the bezel and on the face but it does give just a little sparkle without over-the-top bling. The skeleton heart cut-out, though, is what makes this watch special. The mechanism almost makes the heart look like it's beating--really cool! I also love the bracelet; it's very substantial and the face is nice and large but not too large; she has a tiny wrist but she likes a bigger watch. She loves it! Also the price and delivery were excellent!

I wanted to go on-line and update my review because there has been a change in my opinion on this watch. It's still beautiful BUT in the first month of wearing it, we (daughter who was given this watch as a gift and I) were out shopping on a very hot day in Florida and she noticed that her watch had condensation on the inside of the crystal. It was exceedingly hot and instead of sending it back in that day (she had just gotten it within the month and didn't want to part with it), we waited hoping it was just a fluke. Well, it wasn't. The condensation continues to film up the inside of the crystal periodically. We called Dexclusive who sold our watch to us and it took every bit of 6 weeks to get a return authorization because they promise to send you the directions to return the watch but they never do and getting hold of them is nearly impossible if you have a job because of their hours. E-mail gets you no response or a request for an order number that, when you send it, they ignore you and don't send return information.

Anyway, they will not (according to them) exchange the watch for another one without a defect in the seal, they will only "fix it." This is very distressing to me because I bought a new watch for a reason. If I wanted a repair, I'd have gone to the pawn shop. Don't order anything from Dexclusive!

My wife saw this this watch in several adds prior to Christmas. It looks very impressive in the adds and was a must have on her Christmas list. The Watch list for $750 but I was able to manage about $300 less that that though a Amazon reseller, Princeton Watches. She liked the heart shape cut out and the mother-of-pearl face looked great. The diamonds around the face really made it stand out. My only complaint is that the diamonds that are placed on each hour are so small that it makes it look a bit cheesy or cheap. I think it would look a lot better if they had left the diamonds off the face. It's a nice watch and for the sale price I am very happy.

Loved the watch when I got it; but that ended after 3 days! The watch was going faster than the time I set it to on my cell phone clock with a second hand. I would reset the time and after a few more days, same thing. The second hand would speed up causing the minute hand to move faster. I messed with it for a couple of weeks and gave up. I could not return the defective watch back to Amazon because I had the band adjusted at Macys for $13.50. I called Bulova and they told me to send it back for repairs. That cost me $40 to insure it and send it UPS then I also had to include a $10 check for return shipping. I just sent it back yesterday so let's see what happens in the next week or so. I will keep you posted! I am disappointed that I got a lemon heart watch. :(

I just paid out over $60 additional for the watch. Amazon help me out here!!!
