Nice watch. Large case, but not so big it looks like you are wearing an "arm clock" a la Flavor Flav. I was looking for a classic design divers watch, but did not feel it necessary to spend $1k or more on an Tag Aquaracer, Rolex GMT, or Omega Seamaster. Nor did I want a "cheap" copy. I have owned several Bulova watches. I like the name. I like the look. I like the price. I would definitely recommend this watch to others.

5.0 out of 5 stars High Quality, Low Price, December 11, 2010

This review is from: Bulova Men's 98B130 Marine Star Blue Dial Bracelet Watch (Watch)

Pros:
- Solid stainless steel bracelet. (Does not feel cheap)
- For the price, the diver bezel rotates very smoothly.
- Decent lum
- Added diver clasp is nice to have.
- Good weight, and size. Doesn't seem overly massive like some diver watches.
- Just looks and feels more expensive then it really is.

Cons:
- The picture on Amazon is deceiving. The color blue is much darker and masculine in real life.


Overall:
I'm really satisfied with my purchase. It's a solid watch with good accuracy. If you want a quality constructed divers watch that looks good in either formal or casual occasions, this is for you. If you must have a big name Swiss made watch with automatic movements then look elsewhere.

I've wanted a good dive watch for a while but a Rolex Submariner or Omega Seamaster is way out of my price range. I started looking for something more affordable and the Bulova Marine Star line caught my eye. I was torn between this model and the 98C62. Both seem to be a cross between the Submariner and Seamaster, with this one a bit more like the Rolex and the 98C62 a bit more like the Omega.

The watch is beautiful in person and the pics here on Amazon don't do it justice. The blue is much deeper than in the pics, though not quite a navy blue. The middle of the band along with some accents on the face are shiny, contrasting nicely with the brushed case and outer parts of the band. The only thing I'd change about the look would be to put the date window in the 3 o'clock position but that's really no big deal. It's a good size, though perhaps a bit big if you have a smaller wrist, and there's enough weight to know you're wearing it without being bogged down.

Also, purchasing the watch though Amazon couldn't have been easier. The price was better than ebay and you still have a warranty so that gives some piece of mind. I got the watch within 24 hours of placing my order via Amazon Prime. I can't recommend this watch enough. I got a few compliments in just the first few days wearing it!
