I have never had a chonograph watch, not sure that I will use that function, but nice to have if I am timing something.  But...the watch looks very cool.  Perfect size, as I do not like the size of a 'man' watch.  This is large enough to see without my glasses but looks still looks like a womens watch.  Band is attractive, I have had multiple compliments.  Keeps good time as well.  This is my second Bulova watch, my first one still works perfect, just wanted to have a little larger face.  The only drawback is that the date does not set seperately from the hands.  This requires turning the hands counter clockwise until the date is correct.  A little strange as my other watch has a seperate 'stop' on the pull out to set date.  cannot read the date with my glasses anyway so it does not bother me that much....just an OCD issue.
