This watch has a classy and beautiful design. The titanium case and wristband have been abused and beaten daily by yours truly, but the brushed metal still looks great.  It's also much lighter due to the titanium construction than other watches made entirely from stainless steel.  The Mineral face has not a single scratch or mark even though the round metal Bezel has suffered a few.  I've owned watches in the past made only from Stainless steel, but after wearing this titanium watch for a year or so now, I will never buy another watch unless it's titanium.  I would also be more than happy to own another watch made by Bulova, but by no means because the first Bulova stopped keeping time or failed me in any way.  Great watch! Well worth the price.

Five Years Later!  UPDATE:  This is the best watch I've ever owned.  It's received many compliments over the last five years.  The last person that said, "hey.. nice watch.."  I grinned and said, "yeah! it's five years old and you'd never know it .." I like taking the watch off and placing it into the hands of those who notice and they are amazed at how light it is because of the titanium steel band and case. I found something out by wearing this titanium band every day and that is that it is extremely tough.  It does show some wear now on the bottom clasp but it's still minor compared to the disaster that stainless steel exhibits after five years of identical wear.  The most impressive detail about the titanium case and band ..  NO oxidation whatsoever.  I work outdoors in a humid climate and upon inspection, no corrosion.  My past Stainless steel watches would last a couple years before they started getting grimy..  I'll never own another stainless steel watch again.  Titanium.  Bulova.  Oh.. and I forgot to mention, I have had to replace the battery twice!  Good luck and if you buy a Titanium Bulova, wear it every day and don't worry about it .. it's made to last and look good years later.  I'll do another update in another five years.  :)
