I bought this watch when my last Bulova watch broke, which I had for 10 years. I got this one because the wider bands were really coming back in style. I love it. It's really perfect and has the bling I was looking for. Only bad thing is my daughter loves it and I was going to buy it for her birthday. I purchased it on Amazon in August 2011 for $179 and now it's gone up ; (  oh well, still worth the buy.
