Men's 96B158 Precisionist Leather Strap Watch One Size

This watch is probably the closest things you can get if you can't afford the GS springdrive. Buttery smooth sweeping seconds hand. Just wish the diameter bit smaller at 40mm but it is what it is. This is not the best watch but will keep distracting you with the 16tick persecond.

The sweeping second hand was what attracted me to buy this watch with simple unqiue dial for semi and formal wear. Definitely the strap need to be changed to a better aftermarket leather strap.

日本には正規に輸入されてないモデルのようです。ブローバの時計で、この価格でスイープ運針は珍しいと思います。文字盤にも細かい模様が彫ってあり、写真で見るよりもきれいな時計です。ちょっと大ぶりな時計ですが、平均的な日本人男性なら問題ない大きさだと思います。

Great gift for grandson. Delivered at time quoted

Great value at this price, strap is a bit cheap feeling but that's easily rectified. Love that sweeping movement of the second hand , smoother than any mechanical watch.

Let me be clear: pictures do not do this watch justice. It really is a stunning timepiece that stands out among a sea of dress watches which are either extremely conservative and dull or garish and tacky. In photographs, the stainless steel case of the watch appears dull and uninspired. In person, this watch's combination of polished and brushed stainless steel is very attractive and shines brightly. In the stock photos on Amazon, the wave detail on the face of the watch appears very boring. In person, one can truly see the level of detail that that went into the design of the dial - not only the actual lines and their contours, but the exquisite gray color which adds a lot of classy pizzazz to an otherwise conservative watch face. It's a very subtle addition to the design of the watch, but it pulls the look of the timepiece together perfectly. The hour markers are chrome accented which creates a nice contrast with the steely dial. I also think that pictures make the watch seem a lot more squat or round than it really is. To make a long story short, you have to see this watch in person to really appreciate how nice-looking it is.The hands and the hour markers have lume on them. The lume is actually pretty bright but doesn't last long at all. I never expect dress watches to have decent lume, so I wasn't bothered by this shortcoming. The size is a tad larger than what I prefer in a dress watch, but it's much more elegant and reasonably sized than other affordable watches and Bulova Precisionists.Due to the high-frequency quartz movement, the second hand sweeps as smooth as butter, and more smoothly than any ETA movement I've seen. . I love automatic watches and rarely buy quartz, but this watch seemed to give me the best of both worlds: the ease and accuracy of quartz with the sweeping second hand of an automatic. Bulova claims this movement to be accurate to 10 seconds a year, and after several weeks of wearing this watch, I've not noticed any loss or gain of time.Bottom line: this is a really great watch. It doesn't have a sapphire crystal or a Swiss automatic movement, but it does have an exquisite appearance, an accurate movement, and a sweeping second hand. At this price, it can't be beat.
