4.0 out of 5 stars Classic Chronograph Watch October 29, 2010

By The Watch Collector

I recently bought this Bulova Adventurer Chronograph watch. It has a classic look to it and I was surprised to see that it was featured on the back cover of Golf Digest Magazine recently. As the owner of many Swiss watches of various prices, I can honestly say that I wear this watch as much, if not more, than the Rolexes that I own. Why? Because it is a very attractive watch. Bulova and Accutron seem to have figured it out that watches can be reasonably priced and still look good. I am a huge fan of both for that very reason. Although the Bulovas are not Swiss Made watches, they are timepieces that I am proud to wear. This particular watch is an exceptional timepiece and I higly recommend it to anyone treasuring watches.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Purchase March 23, 2011

I purchased this watch for my husband for Xmas. It's a great everyday watch as well as one that he can pair with a suit if necessary. Very pleased with the quality, and the bold face is a definite eye catcher.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really nice! Really October 6, 2012

Length: 1:22 Mins

This watch is not all kinds of over the top with complications and extras but is simply very nice and works extremely well and accurate. While I have not measured the split second resolve against an atomic clock I have noted it holds good time against our electronic equipment (cable box, phones and computer) with surprising accuracy for the price. It is borderline for size being on the high end of what I like for large but it's nice in that is shows itself well, it is a looker and people notice it (bezel outside diameter 44.6 mm and 53 mm to the pins for the wrist band). I read some of the negative remarks on it but I disagree with those, one states the second hand location isn't conventional..., so what, the speedometer on my new car isn't in the same location as my last one but that is part of its individuality and notability, actually I like part of it, yes it's different but after you know it use it that way - it's fine.
It is comfortable to wear and doesn't dig into my wrist like others I had before. The luminous dial is a positive feature being either fluorescence or phosphorescence, I don't know which, lights up sufficiently to be seen in total darkness, it doesn't last the evening but I've not seen one which will.
The stop watch feature works well with a positive button feel so your finger can tell the action has been completed simply by the feel of it, nice. I guess the only real negative feature for me is the sweep hand for the stop watch while at rest covers the second hand dial with a large round circle making it tough to tell that sweep is moving or not and it is directly over the 12:00 o'clock position for that dial. It does cover a good sized area over that face. That's it, all in all I like it, it works well, it's comfortable and looks good too with a nice price tag, this is a good deal I'd say.
