This is a very smart and sleek looking watch.  It is elegant and looks rich.  However, the previous reviewer is correct in that it has a latch that takes some getting used to.  Learning how to open and close the latch requires some patience until one gets the hang of it.  My only complaint is that the date viewer is so small I am unable to read it even with my bifocals!

This is definitely worth a $100.00 bucks.

2012:  That being said, my watch quit working.  Thought the battery was dead.  It was not.  Turned out the timing went bad.  Fortunately, it was still under warranty as the watch was 2 years old.  Disappointed.  Sent the watch in to Bulova for repair and/or replacement.  The watch has yet to be returned.

April 2014:  Here is the update:  Bulova returned the repaired watch and it has worked perfectly since then.  (No, it did not take 2 years for Bulova to repair/return the watch.  I just forgot to go back and post my experience.  Tempus fugit. Had no idea I have had this watch for 4 years!)  I still really like this watch and use it for special occasions since I have another Bulova watch I use for everyday.  I finally wised up and stopped the battery when I am not wearing the watch since I grew tired of replacing the battery.

Still happy with the watch.
