I got this watch because I already had a Bulova watch.  Its a battery powered watch with day and date - I've had it for about 3 years.  It works just fine, but needs a new battery about once a year.  The new self-winding watch is really nice - a bigger face and a nice look.  The ONLY reason I didn't give it 5-stars is that it doesn't have a day and date display.  And to get one, I'd have had to spend a lot more $$$!  This is a good watch and I don't have to use batteries - good for me and the environment - I just need to move my wrist from time to time!  I'd give it 4.5 stars if I could!!
