Great review. When i saw this in the display case it caught my eye, I looked at it for a while then kept it moving. Went back three weeks later trying to decide to purchase or not, it looked great on one hand but a little over the top on other, asked to look at it and boy did this thing have some weight to it! Loved it! Bought it for half of the retail cost. I get, especially ladies, wanting to look at it closer and giving compliments all the time. Once I got a little too close to a wooden door frame and it took a nice little chunk out of it, not a scratch on the watch - wow! This is one of the best timepieces I have ever purchased. If you're thinking about it, just go for it. You won't regret it.

YOU WILL NEVER BE BORED LOOKING AT THIS WATCH...THAT IS FOR SURE

I've had this watch for a couple years now. It's a good feel & I'm always getting complemented on it.

I just bought this beautiful piece for $700 and I got to say I am loving it, it looks even better in person. This watch is not as heavy as the reviews I have read on this watch. In fact, it is quite comfortable on my wrist.

After I watched this review last year, I got the one in gunmetal & blue. Love it, thanks! 👍

that like the first time ever i watch a Review for a Watch... but im like in love with this and i need it now

Excellent review. I have owned the watch for 3 years now and I love it.

love this watch bought it a few weeks ago and I have had nothing but compliments on it, this is going to be the first of many Bulovas

I just ordered this watch! I'm super excited to see it!

How much you buy

wornandwound; Nice review. I have a Precisionist 96B175 identical to the one in your review and I absolutely LOVE IT for its bold styling and the unparalleled accuracy. Yes, it is BIG but that is its beauty and what sold me on this extraordinary timepiece!

I own this watch I absolutely love it sits perfectly on the wrist a well balanced watch love wearing when not at work

Ive got 2 Bulova Precisionist watches both over 10 years old. Over those 10 years I haven’t had one issue with either of them. They are simply the most reliable watches I’ve owned over my life. They’re comfortable, look great, and they tell the time. Never let anyone convince you you need to spend over $1,000 on a quality watch when you can buy a Bulova.

The dial IS carbon fiber, and the hex screws on the bezel are real functional screws. I own this watch, and I enjoy it. I like it better than my Omega Speedmaster reduced automatic. In fact I am selling my Omega tomorrow.

Normally not a fan of quartz watches, but this beast... WOW! Might have to add it to my list!

Beautiful review, very complete and fair. I own this very model #96B175. It's the King of my collection because of its bold and massive design. So much to say about this piece but you've covered it well. I like large case watches so this model fills the bill for me. You are absolutely correct regarding the 1/1000th sub dial @ 6 o'clock it's so fast that my fingers cannot keep up with it, but it is, as you say, nice to know this chrono has a level of super precision. Hence the name...wait for it...Precisionist! Cheers. 11/2/2020.

Wow, I'm impressed with the video. Very well done. Thanks for the review.

A very in-depth and interesting review, I decided it was not for me but the review was very helpful. I actually like the watch a lot, it's just a bit too big for my tastes.

I ordered one of these because of the smooth seconds hand, tho I am disappointed that it changes to dead-beat in chronograph mode. I would prefer the date at 3 pm (and even better if it had a day). I really like that it is at least 46 mm and heavy. After watching your video I can hardly wait for mine to arrive in the mail. Thanks for posting this.

I just ordered the black and red Precisionist a couple days ago. I based my selection because I thought the watch while very busy was also very well designed and esthetically pleasing. However I also based my decision off the advertised 46.5mm watch face size. Now after watching your review I now know this isn't really accurate when taking the crown into consideration as well. Bummed out because I'm going to have to sell it as 47mm is really the max I can wear on my wrist. Very sad, but hey that's on me for not researching as throughly as I should have. Hope all who have this watch get to enjoy it and I envy you. Cheers

I don't think a lot of the people are getting that the whole point of this watch is to be over the top. If you've heard their head designer speak in regards to this watch, he says that it's meant to be big and a "statement piece" and it's not for everyone. Personally I would not own one, but on a bigger wrist I can see this looking pretty good

Given the 300M water resistance, are the pushers screw-down? If so, it could actually be used for timing scuba dives.

I just got this watch as a gift... people see just a little bit or the face out of my cuff and go crazy...watch really stands out and get attention...when I then pull back cuff and show whole watch..they go nuts!

Trust me get bulova watches used. At Zales is $900 and Macy it’s $500 but online usually goes between $250 and $350 used.

Excellent review “Perhaps a little too garish”, yes that’s what I’m debating myself Can you recommend anything similar, perhaps a little more subtle?

How do you get the second hand going again after you use the chronograph?

This has been growing on me to the point where I’m gonna get it

This watch in my opinion is a real steal at $799.00. You can pick them up off of eBay cheaper at around the mid $400.00’s. I own two these beautiful watches & I’ve grown to love them over some of my Breitlings & Omegas... YES I DID SAY THAT. I own several fine watches in my collection & this Bolivia in my opinion ranks one of the top of my daily wearable watches out there.

The design is perfect. That’s why I like it so much

I'm strangely fascinated by the design on this watch.

EXCELLENT REVIEW GLAD ITS NOT THE PLAYED OUT 42MM SIZE

How do you change the time on this watch?

I agree. Especially compared with the designs from the 60,s and 70,s.(Like the spaceview).

Nice review!

It seems like some new Citizen Super Titanium models. They use a sweep seconds hand as well. Nice watch though.

Nice watch. Think I wanna get one. The one thing I really dont like is the fact thar it hasn't got a 24 hour time.which is a big shame they could have easily put one instead of the 1000th of a second timer..... Also I wonder what makes it worth $800 does it use a battery??

Look at that movement!!!!! Beautiful!!!!

at $180-250 it currently sells for, day and night, it's actually a steal. Too big for me, but would be a better option over many of the Casio offerings of similar size and function.

Yes is true is a watch that goes unnoticed. In fact my next watch would be a Bulova Precisionist Chrono but the other model. I mean the 97B122, Fits a lot better with my style. Those watches are perfect. 10s a year, and I can tell from practice the precision from real life generally beats the paper.I use a 20+/- s/month Miyota 0S60 and in the real life gets away just few seconds every 3 months or so.. is very accurate!

So if it vibrates at 8 times a second is this comparable to 8 beats a second Automatic. How smooth is this sucker running?

Wicked watch!!!!!!!! You are a SUPERB reviewer, my friend. But did you say mechanical watches deviate 4 to 6 seconds a day??? That's horrible......

This is quartz? Did they just turn up the ticks per second on this to make it a sweep? Does that mean battery dies faster.

@Slim7321

Yes a Quartz with a patented hi frequency movement exclusively by bulova. The battery might not last as long as in other watches that tick once a second but they last several years and that's good enough for me. I have two precisionists (98B150 and 97b122) and I love them both

Very dependable timepiece

As big as it is with 4 buttons and all it does is keep time and a stop watch? No alarms? light?

I have a small wrist. It's 6 1/2 inches. I'm a small guy but my watches are always at least 46mm. Do you think this watch would look silly on me? Do you think it's too deep for a watch? Would you say non chrono is worthwhile or is the cheaper non chrono very good also. Would you go black or silver watch? Is the gold and black a big no no for a guy?

BIGCHIPSKI You can pull the crown out if you really badly want to. but to be honest there is no need. if you are not using the split second features the battery is around a 7 year battery so there is no need to save the battery by 7 years or even 5 really you want to have the water and dust keeping checked on it. It wont damage the watch by any means to pull it out. a lot of watches ship this way it'll just keep the watch stopped. but on the other hand gears are meant to move. so I would think you need to keep it running to keep it lubed for say.

Not only is it 8.5" (thats WAY above the average wrist size), but my wrist is wide and flat, so watches are hard to find in a decent size ( a 38mm watch looks like a womans watch on my wrist).
