 Bulova 96B05 By: Bulova Average Rating: 4.0 Total Reviews: 1 More Information Solid  On: 2006-12-01I have owned the watch for a period of about a day. So far, there are no surprises or disappointments. I have slender wrists, so I needed to get my watch sized, and had 3 links removed. This is in no way a fault of the watch. Any watch with metal bands will need to be sized. The material is exactly what I wanted. The hour marks have a nice luster to them as well as the rim around the face of the watch. It is not overly gaudy and shiny (like chrome). The band has a dull shine to it, and fits comfortably around my wrist. The clasp releases and snaps without much effort. The hands are clear and easy to read against the black background of the face. Also, the date is easily set, adjusted and read. The best part of course, is that when the room is quiet enough, you can hear the faint ticking of the second hand. The only downside to the watch so far is that the face is a little smaller than I am accustomed to seeing on mens watches. I personally like it, as the smaller bulk provides less sliding around my wrists. However, it can easily be interpreted to be "less masculine" compared to other watches. Again, Im not bothered by this, but can see it being an issue with others. Overall, a very solid watch. It is classy in its simplicity. |
