I wanted a nice skeleton watch, and this one is a real eye catcher. I first saw it in a jewelry store for over 2x the price here, so I bought it online along with a link tool. On the first day I wore it I received many compliments on the style, and everyone loves the skeleton face and back. It keeps accurate time and you will find yourself staring at the movement, wondering what each gear does.

Maybe I'm biased, mine was a gift from my wife the day before our wedding.
There is no calendar on this watch, no timer, stopwatch, camera, no phases of the moon, or blood-pressure moniotor. It's a watch. I love mine, it keeps accurate time, looks great, and represents a special day for my wife and me.

Received this as a gift and I love this watch! I'm not a guy who normally wears big metal watches but this watch is great! It is a beautiful watch, well made, and fascinating to look at. With the see-through face you get to see all the inner workings of the watch and it is fantastic. Since I have started wearing it I have received numerous favorable comments on it and they all want to know the make and where to buy one. So thanks to that special woman of mine for a fantastic gift!

Bought this watch recently and I am very impressed. I've seen this watch in half a dozen jewelry stores in the area marking it at the full retail price ($525), so this is a great deal. The quality is amazing, and these last few days it has kept excellent time. Automatics do require a little more maintainance as the years go by, however this is part of my appeal to automatics. This watch is rated at about 20-40 seconds/day, and so far it has been much more accurate than that.

***Update:I have owned this watch for approximately 1 month and it has kept excellent time, even when not in use. I manually wind the watch approximately once a week (for lubrication), and simply let the automatic winding mechanism keep it running. It is important that you do not let these watches stop, as this can cause inproper lubrication thus causing excessive wear on the gear train. I Love the watch!

this is a great watch for the price bulova is a great brand and they make excellent watches!! this automatic watch keeps great track of time at night i put it away and in the morning its still going. however its best to buy a watch winder so it will be ready for the weekend or for whenever you want to wear the watch! overall if you want to buy a nice looking watch without breaking the bank this is the watch for you!!!

I was looking for something in this style of watch and within my price range. Bulova has the best selection and I don't think I could be happier with any other watch.

This was my first experience with a "self-winding" watch, so out of the box I was more than a little lost. After reading the instructions and a brief "which direction do I wind a watch" search on google, it was up and running. Runs for about 2 days with zero wear and continuously when worn each day. Keeps excellent time, dead on with my auto-updating G-Shock timepiece a week after setting it.

Sadly I've managed to scratch the dead center of the watch face within this first month of owning it... Not familiar with wearing a watch this nice. I don't think it has anything to do with the face scratching easily, but I was surprised when it left a mark.

Again, excellent watch, absolutely magnificent quality.

I purchased this for my boyfriend for his birthday at the end of May. He doesn't normally wear a watch. He was skeptical for the first week because he thought it was a little big. After wearing it at work he realized it was average size for watches out now. He has recieved many compliments and now loves to wear it everywhere. It has worn really well so far with no scratches on the band or face. It is really unique looking. He gets a lot of compliments. Well worth the expense! The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I don't know how well it is going to wear after months-years.

I just saw this watch on sale at Buy.com for 169.00!It has a Miyota engine,made by Citizen,which is a low cost,but pretty reliable movement.
