This is my first $300 watch, my first Bulova, my first automatic, my first "skeleton" watch, and my first watch with Roman numerals. I had HIGH HOPES for this piece. I took months to finally make a choice and then purchase it. Love the brown/gold/rose color scheme and leather wrist band (no need to have a metal band "adjusted" later). That's the "good"; now for the "bad": The watch does not hold a "charge" more than 12 hrs after being sufficiently wound up. I tried calling and emailing Bullova for assistance, and they NEVER responded. So their customer service is horrible. Their app wouldn't let me register the watch, so I had to do it on their website. But again, I can't get ahold of their customer service. I will say THIS: if you wind the watch AND wear it EVERY DAY, you'll be fine. But you'll have to wear ONLY this watch. You won't be able to alternate with others. 4 year warranty does me NO GOOD if I can NOT reach them for assistance. I'm about to turn the watch back in before we Amazon inspection period is up.
