I may have set a record between the time I first saw the ad for this and when I purchased it. The first impressions are how big and heavy it is. It can be a bit rough on your wrist when the crown pushes against the back of the hand. Adjusting the bracelet to take up the slack helps. It's almost as if transformers made a watch. We put it to the test to see how well it keeps time and so far, it seems right on the mark. The continuous sweep second hand actually pulses very finely as if it was on a very fine ratchet. There is a subtle Citizen look to this watch and for good reason now that the company bought the Bulova name. Being a collector, this was another must have. If you want a good daily workhorse, I'd suggest something a little lighter and less bulkier. The price is a bit steep but the design and line is a bit novel so why not. Adjusting the bracelet is done by removing pins, then links and re assembling the band. Fine tuning is done on the clasp. The bracelet is nice enough but the primary latch feels a little cheesy. The size and weight could be a problem. This is not a watch for working around equipment or in tight places. It could almost double as a travel clock due to its size. The manual says it needs a battery once every year and that's disappointing as many watches will run for several.

Pros: Easy to read dial, smooth second hand, nice date window.
Cons: Big, heavy, battery life.
Bottom line: Fun for collections and occasional wear but not for every day. Nice for the night stand, though.
