Amazon.com Product Description
Athletic and sophisticated, the Bulova Men's Marine Star Alarm Watch #98A000 features Japanese quartz movement. A silver-tone stainless steel bracelet band with a push-button safety and a textured silver-tone dial with red and black accents highlight the bold look of this watch's unidirectional bezel, which is crafted from stainless steel, finished in black, and provides silver-tone indices for quick reference, including large Arabic numerals. The watch offers two alarm modes to choose from, vibration and sound. A subdial at nine o'clock makes it easy to set your alarm, and an indicator window at two-o'clock makes it easy to check if the alarm is on or off. This timepiece is water resistant to 330 feet and is backed by a two-year manufacturer warranty.

About Bulova
In 1875, a young Czech immigrant named Joseph Bulova set up shop in New York City, and a legendary American watch brand was born. Bulova was trained as a jeweler, and his expertise carried over into his watchmaking career, which began around 1911 with boudoir clocks and pocket watches, and soon evolved to include what was then one of the latest and most fashionable technological innovations: the wristwatch.

Bulova introduced its first line of wristwatches in 1919. The company grew and prospered, and soon early radio and television ads were declaring, "America runs on Bulova time." In the 1950s, continuing its legacy of innovation, Bulova introduced Accutron, the first electronic watch, and the first breakthrough in timekeeping technology in over 300 years. The Accutron timing mechanism was later adapted for use by NASA computers and a Bulova timer was even placed on the moon to control transmissions of data. Bulova timepieces have kept official time aboard Air Force One and have also served as official timepieces for U.S. Olympic teams.

Today, Bulova maintains its tradition of excellence in technology and design, offering a diverse collection of beautiful precision timepieces for every occasion.

Customer Reviews

Great Watch
I looked at a large number of watches in the $200-400 price range, and picked this one. Excellent design, a bit sporty/nautical yet still classic enough to wear with a suit. The steel is high-quality and the face texture looks very sleek, even more so than it appears in the photos. All the details are very sharp.

I got this at a discount, but even at MSRP this is a great watch for the price. I think the size is acceptable. Any larger would be too large, but it works.

Marine Star Alarm
I love the watch. Casual enough for khakis/jeans, classy enough for suits. I have a client that is in a different time zone and have set the alarm dial to their time to remove the errors in my mental math. The dial is easy to read, alarm is easy to set/unset/reset, and the alarm is perfect, in either mode. My only complaint (ergo the 4 star rating) is the lack of a day of month feature.

Truly a sportmans watch that can be worn for any occasion.
I was easily drawn to this particular watch as it had the rotating bezel which I find more useful than a chronograph for my timing needs. Being waterproof to 100 meters gives me the assurance if I forget to take it off stepping into the shower or the hot tub, it will survive. The alarm which is simple to set works very well was an added benefit but I would have preferred the day-date window except I do like the idea of using it for a 2nd time zone. My only complaint is that the hands could have been given a wider phosphorescent coating to read in the dark.
