Bulova Men’s 98B104 Marine Star Calendar Watch Review

My Thoughts

Unless you haven’t done a thorough job of shopping for your next watch, you’d know that the Bulova brand is one of the most respected brands on the planet when it comes to timepieces. This should not come as a surprise because Bulova has been impressing global watch fans since the late 1800s. That’s quite a pedigree for any watch company.

An American brand, Bulova more than holds its own when it comes to watch design, movement type, and special features. This ability to more than match classic Swiss makes with its distinct ‘can do’ attitude and laser focus on precision, Bulova is definitely a brand to keep in mind if you’re looking for a time piece that you can rely on whether you are indoors or outdoors. The Bulova Men’s 98B104 Marine Star Calendar Watch does a great job of living up to Bulova fans’ expectations. You get the same mix of quality, design, value and versatility you have come to expect from this great brand.

Design: Men’s Luxury Sports watch

Make no mistake about it, designing a proper luxury sports watch takes an eye for detail. You can’t just simply slap some sporty elements and add a dash of luxury or plug it into a luxury frame. Such efforts normally fall flat on their faces. Bulova has been at the men’s watch design game for long enough to know how far to push the envelope. The 98B104 has just that finely tuned balance between ruggedness and luxury that it looks great in a wide variety of indoor and outdoor settings.

Designed primarily for marine settings this Bulova piece looks commanding without screaming out ‘Hey, look at me!’ Considering how well Bulova addresses this tight mix of indoor and outdoor versatility and luxury, it is no surprise that many sports luxury watch afficionados says that this model looks similar to the Hublot Big Bang timepiece that weighs it in at $25,000. That’s quite a compliment considering the fact that the 98B104 will only set you back $239.

Movement Type: Japanese Quartz

Thanks to Japanese technology, the quartz movement of this unit is impeccable. Japanese quartz technology has truly worked out the kinks of quartz-driven watches. Thanks to the high level of Japanese attention to detail, quartz movement watches can hold their own to automatic watches and deliver a high level of reliability and peace of mind. This model doesn’t just look great, it is also powered by a reliable and consistent movement technology.

Special Features: Chronograph and water resistance

Resistant to depths as low as 330 feet, this sporty men’s luxury watch also has a chronograph. These features truly close the circle when it comes to sporty appeal. You don’t have to worry about getting this unit wet while out in the Great Outdoors. Also, its chronograph features gives it a more rugged and utilitarian look.

The big danger with sporty luxury watches is balance. You can’t go overboard. The 98B104 Marine Star Calendar timepiece is able to deliver this balance and, at less than $300, deliver solid value at the same time. This should not be surpising. After all, this is Bulova we’re talking about. Get one today.
