I purchaced the 96C101 which was a bit more colorful than the 96C100. Other than the color and Roman vs Arabic numerals these watches are identical. My watch runs great, looks great, is big since I like big, and trouble free. I am waiting for the 96C100 to drop a bit more in price. My son picked the 96C100 up for $99 and he loves it. Me I would like to have both and just waiting for the price to drop down again.

I researched the Invict watches and they are no comparison to the Bulova Watches. I had two other Bulova watches that were 35 years old and were stolen during Hurricane Katrina. They worked for 35 years and never needed anything done to them. They would have been worth a lot of money today since they had 18K gold in the face and band.

The Bulova is worth more than the Invicta, but I am good at pricing watches, wait for the Stainless steel Bulova's to come down to around $100-#120 and the stainless steel Invicta's to be under $50 for best consumer price.

I must give Bulova and Amazon a 5 star for the Bulova Watches. If you want a good cheap watch for under $50 look at Invicta, if you want an outstanding watch look at Bulova.

On a side note, the Japanese Quartz is every bit as good as the Swiss Quartz in keeping good time. I check my watches with the Navy Ship Cesium Clock and Navy GPS time throughout the year and the Japanese quartz has been 1-2 seconds per year more accurate then the Swiss Quartz Bulova I owned before. I believe the difference was more related to the two different manufacturer batteries I had in each watch. The battery in my old watch had to be replaced about every 4-5 years, which is about normal for those type of watches. The digital illuminated watches only last for about 3 years.
