Hi Gary, i also got a reply on the bulova video that said i was shortlisted to win the watch. any clue about this?
I don't think Bulova gets enough credit for their outstanding watches and great history. I do appreciate that you are letting people know how good these are. Thanks and keep up the good work!
Glad to see that you are giving high precision quartz a bit of love, because you can't doubt the appeal of seeing that seconds hand move across the dial so elegantly. Cheers, Gary!
A quartz seconds hand that looks like an automatic, and a stunning design! What’s not to love? This thing is awesome

Technically, this Bulova movement does NOT look like the movement of an automatic. It’s smoother than those.
I had no idea a quartz movement could have such a smooth sweep with the seconds hand. That, in itself, I find quite amazing despite it’s large size. Anyway, thank you for sharing and it IS a beautiful time piece! The winner shall certainly enjoy this one.
If Bulova made it a) smaller, b) screw down everything and c) Sapphire, I'd gladly pay twice the price. So much potential! Enthusiasts like us would embrace it - but Bulova seems to be afraid of really taking off again.

I really don't get putting in a higher quality movement and not going sapphire. Wrist size and taste varies on what size people like. 40mm seems to be a happy compromise for smaller and larger wrist. I agree 42mm will cut out half your base.

@@russelldow1131 Its not really a higher quality movement per se tho, its just using a new technology. The precisionist is still priced and built at an "entry level" for Citizen group watches like basic eco-drives. The finish and build quality is in line with entry level eco-drives rather than the higher quality stuff from Citizen. If you want to see a mid-range quartz movement from Citizen, look at the exceeds - not quite at Chronomaster level but a world apart from precisionists or basic eco-drives.

@@JimIBobIJones ohh you are so wrong about the movement. This Bulova Accutron movement is actually old, from the 1960's pre quartz crisis. This movement was extremely sought after since it was the most accurate movement at the time. It was standard issue to CIA agents and Blackbird pilots. If you put your ear to the watch you will actually hear the tuning fork hum, which is why Bulova adopted the symbol as it logo. Thanks to Citizen takeover of Bulova these horological treasures are fading away.

@@JR-gp2zk uhhh it's not the same accutron smart guy. Bulova went bust and was bought by citizen. Modern Bulova accutron is quartz crystal cut differently from a standard quartz made by Citizen as the new owners. Historical Accutrons used actual tuning forks l, not quartz. They aren't the same.
The smooth second hand is mesmerising, automatic looks with quartz accuracy. The perfect combination
Loved this , such an interesting video explaining in simple terms about a watch I’ve just seen and fell in love with .
Another great video Gary, I too was one who thought there is only one type of quartz movement,my bad....so much info and knowledge we get through your videos ... Wishing you good luck and congrats it's your 100 th giveaway ,another reason to celebrate ...cheers.
Bulova used to make a lot of great looking watches - however lately, near every watch they make has an open heart, or an overdesigned look. I agree there is an opportunity for Bulova to use this movement in a smaller case, opening this fantastic movement to a wider audience (I just hope their current designer has a day off!) Thanks for 100 giveaways - they seem to be getting better and better!

Bulova made quite a few watches with this movement about 5 years ago but has dropped all but one or two 262kHz 3 hander designs. I have one of the older Surveyors with that movement, it's such a nice, simple design with a decent case size. Their design direction now is make'um big, garish and ugly. I'm convinced mama Citizen has dictated the direction but it makes no sense why they're taking that tack. The only watches they have worth buying are from their archive series.

I never understood why Bulova didn't put this movement in more (all) of their watches - it's a real USP. There are a few designs that use it but most are quite gaudy looking. This in my opinion is the best looking one! Other than the retro "steampunky" Accutron, that looks cool too.

Thanks a lot for this video! I'm in my first year of watch collecting, so learning about the high precision quartz movements surely adds a lot of possibilities. I absolutely love this Bulova dial and seconds hand sweeping smoothness. You got a subscriber! Samuele, Italy.
Hi Gary. Thank you yet again for a great content. Keep doing your amazing job, that already made me purchase 2 watches!
I love a smooth sweep quartz, the sky-high accuracy is a nice bonus too! I had no idea Bulova made a watch with a movement like this at such a low price point. Thanks for giving it away, someone's going to be very happy 😊
I have the Lunar Pilot, but have always longed for the larger sweeping seconds hand found in the Precisionist. Appreciate your no nonsense videos, and nice zoomed in shots of the dial.

Same boat as you. I love my Lunar Pilot but had to get a precisionist too - that second hand is mesmerising!
Well done, Gary. Fantastic to see a creator including the viewers in things like this so often 👏
A really nice review. Today I got information about a new watch and new movement from you. Keep up the great content.
Love the glide. I’ve never understood why more brands don’t offer high beat second hands, even if they’re not as accurate as this one. I know it affects battery life but I’d be ok changing a battery every year or two instead of every decade if it meant it looked so much nicer and I no longer was constantly bothered by the hand missing the damn markers. They’re already dialing the crystal back from tens of thousands of vibrations a second to one - just stop shorter.
As the owner of a Precisionist it's my favorite Quartz. That sweep is just beautiful - better than any NH35 automatic, for sure. Imagine if Bulova made that movement available to micro brands the way its parent (Citizen) made Miyotas? It's just a shame so many Bulova Precisonists are so ugly and gaudy. I really wonder who designs their watches.

Agreed. I like this model and just ordered the blue dial. But many of the others are just obscene, like an invicta or something. I’d check out the precisionist moon chronograph, it’s very classy.

Love the way of yours by comparing the high end item to the affordable one in the precision. A valuable education for my horology. Thanks 🙏
I'm also getting more into Quartz watches recently. Thanks or the review of a not so well-known watch, very interesting tech indeed! Glad i've stumbled across your channel, you gained a new subscriber! :)
Great work Gary well deserved milestones. Love the watch and the movement.
I've had a bad week and your videos have brightened it up. The real giveaway is this awesome content!
I'm so glad I just stumbled across your channel and this video; I've been a watch lover for over 25 years, almost entirely quartz until recently. My oldest - and most accurate - watch is a Seiko chronograph bought in 1988 and it still runs and keeps almost perfect time. So it was refreshing to find a watch channel on KZread that was proudly not Quartz Snob Central! Subscribed...
I like how this Bulova gives you the look of an automatic movement watch and the precision of a high end quartz watch.. amazing!
Awesome video and giveaway! I’m genuinely intrigued after watching this video about the Bulova, and may dive into their brand more.
Hi Gary, well one hundred giveaway’s what a milestone in your watch saga. Well done to you Gary,you have made 100 of your subscribers/patrons very happy.Bulova with a great second hand sweep,it’s up there with the best of them. So thanks for the chance to win such a great giveaway,good luck to everyone else.
That's a great 100th giveaway Gary. It's a very nice watch. Bulova is such a historic brand too.
This was the first one of your videos that I watched. I liked it. I'll check out more.
Your 100th giveaway! What a great thing! Congratulations on your channel’s success! Love this Bulova!
Thanks so much for this review. I am subscribed to many watch channels but, until now, was not aware of your channel. I am now a subscriber. I was not aware of this Precisionist movement, so I am intrigued by it. I have always been a fan of the engineering that goes into a Timepiece, especially Mechanical Watches, that require no battery. I do own quartz watches, Seiko, Citizen Eco Drive and a Micro Brand (Kingsbury), Kingsbury makes watches that have a simple, yet quite pleasing look. What has drawn me to this watch is not so much the look of the watch, but the feat of engineering that is behind the Dial. I would purchase one just for that reason. Thanks again for your review.
Great job on the review Gary! Lovely watch with interesting movement.
Congrats on the 100th giveaway Gary! Bulova's designs are usually a miss from me, but I really like how sleek this dial is. And with such a smooth sweep, you almost wonder why get an automatic! ; )
Thanks for doing all the wonderful giveaway bro. Appreciate it.
I'm a hig bulova fan, thanks for the video. I've got several including a lunar pilot with that movement, super great value.
Great channel! Love the reviews, keep them coming!

Thanks Gary first review I've seen on Bulova (I'm new to this world / addiction!!)
Always look forward to your reviews, keep up the good work.
Man it's just impossible to not like the seconds hand! I feel this mix of black & metallic is just perfect for the precisionist. Great review on a Bulova that has earned the spotlight!
This one's a killer. That seconds hand does it for me! Awesome of you to give away such a beautiful watch!
Congratulations ont he 100th give away! Been watching you since your old apartment days.
Such an interesting watch. My first watch was a Bulova back in the '70s that my parents gave me when I headed off to college. I have a small watch collection now that is crying for my addition from the Bulova finally. Great videos and keep it up.

Hello and thank you much for bringing this watch model to our attention. You manage to explain quite clearly the working, level of precision and what a bargain they really are.

Please keep posting videos, do keep us informed about these veritable time machines.
