    Yes Bulova, more of this. These are good looking watches. You actually appropriately used sapphire. And the Precisionist movement is a great quartz movement that needs to continue to be developed and you're using it in an actually reasonably sized and classically styled watch. Precisionist line needs more of this. Not sure if I'll end up getting one of these but they are enticing and I hope these do well enough that Bulova considers doing more Precisionist watches like these.

      I finally saw one at Macy's and the bracelet isn't all the heavy compared to many Tissot, Mido, and Hamilton watches. I like the fact Bulova finally made a Precisonist watch with a smaller case size. I really want to buy a JetStar watch with that pretty red dial but not sure if there is enough removable end links for someone with a 6 inch wrist.

    That sweeping second hand. That dial. And the accuracy. And the price! Honestly for us guys who cannot afford luxury watches like Rolex or even Tudor for that matter, this is an absolute must for anyone who loves watches. Bracelet is quite nice and I love the red dial. Looking for deals right now!

    Just got mine last week! Bulova knocked it out of the park with this one! I ordered the limited edition with red/blue accents. Just a gorgeous watch all around.
    The sweeping seconds hands is truly mesmerizing - and yes I know it’s been said many times in this comments section - but the seconds hand is truly mesmerizing! 😊

  • @j1d7s

    I never thought I would buy a Bulova, they have made models in the last years which are quite unappealing and either too noisy, too big or too uninteresting for my taste. I only would have considered one of their military / field watches.
    But some weeks ago I stumbled upon the Bulova Oceanographer with the black dial and red accents and while the cheap non-hacking Miyota 8215 was a bit of a let-down, I just love the vintage aesthetics and the quite unique indices on that watch.
    I just ordered the Bulova Jet Star with the red / burgundy dial today (sorry, I live in Europe, so I ordered it here...) out of the same reasons I bought the oceanographer. I think it looks gorgeous and it has just the perfect amount of vintage looks. The case design and overall looks reminded me of the Citizen Series8, which I quite liked did not get because they look a bit too industrial for me and I did not like the crown guard on those. So this Bulova hits a sweet spot again. I am thinking about getting the gold tone, too...

    Bulova not marketing and selling this movement to other manufacturers is keeping the lion in the cage. Think of any popular automatic and you have a host watch for this movement that would sell like hotcakes. A true quartz crisis. Having said this, I’ll buy what Bulova have on offer (as long as it fits my skinny wrist). In fact, I bought the red and the gold Jet Stars. Thanks for the video!

    I own an older Bulova with the Precisionist movement and the sweep of the seconds hand is mesmerizing. It's a shame that the vast majority of models with this movement have been ugly as sin (like, Invicta level ugly). This new Jet Star range is certainly a step in the right direction.

    No problem to praise Bulova watches. When they were independent or under the roof at Citizen, I do normally not buy watches in a short time period, but i must hit the brake for not buying 30 Bulova’s in a year. So, now it’s time to close my tablet and only look at the silhouette of my Bulova. Love it, love it!

    Whoever is making the design choices at Bulova is absolutely killing it right now. I found the Devil Diver a couple of years back and thought it was a fluke in their lineup. Then I saw the Lunar Pilot. I have both now. And I plan on adding the Jet Star and the Oceanographer GMT. I love a good comeback story!

  • @jimsutter2748

    I am not typically a big fan of gold watches as silver typically works best with my skin tone but i gotta say that this watch looks great in gold especially with that leather strap, love the retro feel and the dome effect.
    Good job to Bulova for making insanely good high frequency Quartz movement for such a good price too, I am becoming more of a fan of them with each of these great movements.

    I am a Bulova fan. They occasionally offer watches with the wow factor. They are like the Pontiac of old of watches; they can be innovative, sporty and luxurious but don't always get the credit they deserve.
    I wish that Citizen and Bulova would introduce a hybrid eco-drive powered precisionist movement. It seems so obvious.

  • @bayflowshow65
    @bayflowshow65 Год назад

    I own the Bulova Lunor Pilot. I wear that watch almost daily. I respect the quartz movement due to it’s accuracy. But to see the same frequency and a sweeping second hand here, I think it’s probably the best quartz watch out there.
    Some quartz haters have to consider the art that the sweeping second hand offers. But like anything, time will tell since this is a legitimate new watch.
