beautiful functional watch
this watch may be big...but it's so in season! my wrist is pretty small (but not thin) but it still looks good on my arm! the gold tone is beautiful...and the watch hands are glow in the dark! (which is not very useful bc the numbers aren't).
also this watch (according to the manual guide)does not run on battery power...it runs on the movement of your arm (therefore it is important to get this resized to your wrist size). So this watch will last for a LONG time.
it's a bit heavy but i like the weight.
overall this is a beautiful functional watch. i love LOVE it :)

Great WatchI upgraded to the eco-drive from a watch that recharged by wrist motion. So far I'm a lot happier with the eco-drive. It holds a charge a lot longer so it's not a problem to leave it unworn for a day or two. I didn't like the green military style band on this one but it was easy to swap for a leather 20mm band. The stock band was a tad small for my wrist. I would expect a lot of men would need to swap it. The numbers look big in the picture and they're big on the watch. I like the big numbers others might not.
May 2008 Update:
I still like this watch as much as the day it arrived! It works perfectly never runs out of battery and looks good. For those of you who haven't paid for a decent watch you might not realize you're missing out on a good quality glass / crystal face. Mine still is scratch free. The watch looks pretty much brand new even though I wear it every day.

Tons of Compliments!
I admit I am a watchhead. I bought this watch not expecting much intending it to be my daily "beater" watch for work but have been very surprised and have received almost daily compliments. As the specifications indicate it is a bit large for a medium/slim lady's wrist (in a good way) is tall (not a low profile watch - so beware of tight shirt cuffs) and has tiny tiny diamonds (just enough to reflect...not look like blingy sparkle). While this is not comparable to my Tag Jaeger or Omega but it is a solidly made watch for the money. Good value!

Big watch for big guyI purchased this watch as a gift for my son. He's a big guy so needs a big watch. He's a mechanical engineering student and this watch fits the engineer image. He was thrilled when he opened the package and said it is exactly what he wants. I was impressed with the ordering & shipping process. The item arrived quickly and all cross border (US - Canada) fees were dealt with efficiently. Amazon even credited my account when the tariff was reduced. Thank you!

Exactly!!I am an avid collector of high end watches (Breitling Rolex and Tag) as well as excellent moderate watches including Oakley Minute Machine. This watch has every bit of the cosmetic finish and flare of high end watches with the movement of moderate watches. This particualr watch looks very much like the picture but also has a even better appearance in person.
Size matters...my wrist is about an 8"or9" (use a tape measure) and if you are in that range I see no problem with the watch. Otherwise it may look odd but thats what some may want anyway. Very comfortable band and case. It is aggressive looking but understated since it is a dark watch. Packaging and shipping was perfect from Amazon.
I would highly recommend this watch as your everyday or fun watch. Primarily it lives up to what I have saw prior to purchase and is made well considering the price point and looks much more expensive than the price point.

AMAZ-ZZIIINNNG!This watch really truly is. I also made the unfortunate mistake of buying this watch at an after-Thanksgiving day department store promo with the added benefit of long lines and $100 more to the price. Save some money and get this beautiful sparkly here... notice the way it catches the light when you're driving. Shine and beauty and you would not believe how many compliments!!!

WOW!MODERN FEMININE UNIQUE AND SOPHISTICATED. This watch is even more beautiful in person! I've had it for about 1 month now and have gotten so many compliments. I can't stop looking at it it's just that pretty. This particular model really stands out especially when you compare it to the other Bulova watches for women or women's watches in general. Not to mention it looks like it costs a fortune! This model is much bigger and heavier than your average women's watch so it is not a watch to buy if you want something discrete. The diamonds are very very tiny and you can barely see them so if you are looking for something with bigger more visible diamonds you will need to spend a lot more. My favorite thing about this watch besides the fact that the face is so gorgeous and unique is that I can dress it up or down. It can look sporty or super dressy. It goes with everything!
PS. I was considering Bulova's Diamond Chronograph Watch #96R19 (very popular model). In person this one is waaaay better looking and much more sophisticated! Not to mention I wanted something not everybody has. It looks like it costs 10x more than the #96R19. I am so glad I saw them in person before making a decision.

I have the blue dialLarge heavy man's man watch. Gets plenty of looks and the bracelet is just beautiful. Keeps excellent time as most quartz movements do. I use it as an everyday casual watch and have banged it numerous times the sapphire crystal remains scratchless. Thought about buying another or collecting all three colors.
This watch could be improved if the night illuminators didn't take so long to charge. Also it lacks a perpetual calendar but the date is easy to change and only has to be done once every two months.
Try this before spending $2000 - $5000 on breitling tag omega

Huge disappointment
Very disappointed with the quality of this watch. I liked the look but after wearing it only for one week I noticed that my watch stopped and the reason was the dis-attached weekday hand that was obstructing the minute hand from moving. I would not recommend this watch to anyone due to its low quality and craftsmanship.
