Summary

The Bulova 96A119 Automatic watch is not only beautiful to the eyes, but also suits most wardrobe choices. Its dial might appear complicated from a distance but that’s certainly not the case. The stainless steel bracelet is well polished and is quite comfortable. It’s not a diving watch so you might want to keep it away from the water. Also, you will need to be conscious of the dial window since the mineral crystal protection is sensitive to scratch and similar traumas. However, at its price point, this Bulova wrist watch can be considered as a great purchase.
