I purchased this watch at Macy's, attracted by its promise of 10 second/year accuracy and the smooth sweep of its second hand.  Unfortunately, the watch is gaining time at a rate of 30 seconds/year - good for a normal quartz watch, but far from what was promised for the "Precisionist".  I will be sending it in to Bulova for repair (at a charge of 10 bucks, per their published S&H policy) and will update this review when and if the repair solves the problem.

On other matters, the bracelet is of the "hidden clasp" type and is substantial and well made for a watch in this price range.  The case is pretty flimsy, though, with a snap-on sheet metal back and a non-screw down crown that has no visible seal and minimal snag protection.  Don't swim or shower with this watch - its not built for that and will likely leak.  Very weak lume is applied to the hands only and is barely noticeable, let alone readable, in the dark.  The second hand silently and smoothly sweeps along like an old-fashioned electric clock, though. Only my tuning-fork driven, 1-transistor 1963 Bulova Accutron can match this feat, and its not as accurate.

Stay tuned...

UPDATE:  (10/2012)  This watch is NOT aging gracefully.  In particular, it is becoming more and more inaccurate over time - LOTs more.  It is now gaining 60+ seconds per year - i.e. the crystal is unstable and has doubled its drift.  I've never had a quartz watch change its timing drift by more than about 5 seconds in one year.  It looks like the 3-tined tuning fork style crystal in the Precisionist series is not quite perfected.  Or I received an early, defective one.  Do NOT count on the (sometimes) advertised +/- 10 sec./year accuracy.

UPDATE:  (9/2014)  The watch now jams and stops when automatically changing the date at midnight.  A local jeweler opened up the case and found that the calendar wheel has failed and must be replaced.  For a watch that does not see much use, this one certainly died an early death.
