The Bulova Women's Sport Marine Star Diamond Watch #96R000 is a luxurious take on the diving watch, with superior, ultra-durable build and sumptuous details -- not least of which are the 16 genuine diamonds. Luminous indices and hands make for easy and accurate timekeeping on the square silver dial, which also sports a unique, wavy-patterned background, as well as three subdials with chronograph functionality. The brushed, polished stainless steel, silver-tone bezel bracelet, and case offer handsome durability. Like every Bulova watch, this one is built to last with top-quality materials, anti-magnetic and shock-resistant construction, and the unique, scratch-resistant Dura-Crystal. It is powered by Japanese-quartz movement and is water resistant to 330 feet. In 1875, a young Czech immigrant named Joseph Bulova set up shop in New York City, and a legendary American watch brand was born. Bulova was trained as a jeweler, and his expertise carried over into his watchmaking career, which began around 1911 with boudoir clocks and pocket watches, and soon evolved to include what was then one of the latest and most fashionable technological innovations: the wristwatch. Bulova introduced its first line of wristwatches in 1919. The company grew and prospered, and soon early radio and television ads were declaring, "America runs on Bulova time." In the 1950s, continuing its legacy of innovation, Bulova introduced Accutron, the first electronic watch, and the first breakthrough in timekeeping technology in over 300 years. The Accutron timing mechanism was later adapted for use by NASA computers and a Bulova timer was even placed on the moon to control transmissions of data. Bulova timepieces have kept official time aboard Air Force One and have also served as official timepieces for U.S. Olympic teams. Today, Bulova maintains its tradition of excellence in technology and design, offering a diverse collection of beautiful precision timepieces for every occasion. This trendy Bulova timepiece cannot escape anyone's eye. Its dazzling display will have anyone give a second glance. The chronograph, stainless steel bracelet watch with a diamond accented dial will surely dazzle anyone.

Wrong Price
I absolutely love this watch but I was charged 50.00 too much. The price was posted (see below) as 242.02 but when it rang up I actually paid 291.00.

Love it!!
I loved the look of the watch and wasn't disappointed when I received it! It has a beautiful face and the diamonds add a hint of sparkle without being overbearing. I also like that I can look at my watch and see the day of the week.The only problem that I've had with the watch so far is its stopwatch feature.About a month after I purchased the watch, the stopwatch hand doesn't stop at the top of the watch dial anymore (it's off a little to the left side). Other than that, I am very happy with the watch!

Beautiful, well-made watch! Great find!
First, thanks to those who previously wrote reviews, it was so helpful with making my decision. I've been looking for a dressier watch for some time now and just haven't found one that I loved enough to buy. Prior to finding this watch, I was almost decided on the popular Michael Kors one in stainless steel with diamonds. However, I finally settled on this one and just received it from Amazon. All I can say is WOW. This is one beautiful, well-made watch. I agree with all other reviews in that this is not for someone who likes dainty watches. While I love chunky jewelry (and watches) I found some too chunky. For example, the Michael Kors is a little too big for me, but this Bulova is the PERFECT size. It's chunky, but not too big. The diamonds are very small (only 4 per side, 16 total), but the way I can best describe how they designed the perimeter is that it's similar to marcasite - it appears more sparkly even with fewer diamonds. It sparkles just enough to look tasteful, not tacky or cheap. Also, I love the band as it doesn't have an extra fastener so it's seamless. Another important detail, in my opinion, is that this watch has some trendier details (diamond trim), but is still so classic unlike other trendier watches that will go out of style soon. Lastly, the watch has a nice weight to it - not too light like cheaper watches. I highly recommend using Amazon; I've looked around at retail stores and the price is in fact $575 and here you can get it for 1/2 with free shipping. I absolutely love this watch and if you're considering it, stop thinking and purchase it today, you'll be happy you did!

**Did not receive the exact watch shown**
Beware: The watch I received was a fake. After looking at it closely, and comparing to the watch shown. Then doing a bit of research, I was certain it was not a genuine Bulova. The differences were that the Bulova trademark which is a tine was missing at the top of watch. In this case it replaces the 12 o'clock spot. The model number was missing at the bottom of watch below the 6 o'clock mark. The top button for the second hand made a noise when you pushed it, and it should not make a noise. On the back of watch was where I found a model number but that is not where it belonged. There may have been other things I did not notice. I gave this 3 stars for effort I guess. The watch pictured is very nice, it is not what I got from the seller I choose. I have returned this back to Amazon and reordered from a different seller and this time it looks authentic and is very pretty.This one also came with a diamond certificate (just states they are conflict free diamonds) and the tag on watch was slightly different. As others have said the diamond accents are barely there but the watch is really pretty. I am going to post pictures of the fake vs. authentic that I received. Amazon was great about taking care me.

Everything I expected
I`ve just received it, and I`m really happy with it. The only comment I have to make (not negative..just an observation) is that the white background in the picture, makes the matte finish on the band of the watch appear more matte than it appears in person.Other than that, the watch feels substantial on my wrist and gives the feeling that it is a sturdy watch that will stand the test of time however, I can`t really speak to it`s durability since I`ve only had it for an hour.The diamonds on the bezel are just enough to and add a bit of sparkle without being too ostentatious. As a package..this watch is perfectly understated BLING.The markers on the face glow in the dark as well (nice touch)It`s not the watch for you if you like a small dainty watch. It is larger and sits higher off the wrist than the "normal" woman`s watch and has a slightly masculine feel...while still clearly looking like a woman`s watch.What really helped to sell this watch for me were the pictures that someone posted here on Amazon, of the watch on her hand. It brought this watch to life for me. I wish there were pictures like that of all the watches being sold on Amazon.

Beautiful Watch, but something's tricky
The watch is absolutely gorgeous! I went to Macy's first to try it on to see if it was exactly what I wanted, but bought it new off of amazon because it was so much cheaper. When I received it in the mail I tried to set the time, but it wouldn't work. I tried it again, step by step as the directions stated, and it did work. Later that day, I realized the watch hadn't kept the time and just stopped. So again, I reset it, and it has worked ever since.

Elegant, Modern and Artistic watch
I bought this watch because I have received bonuses from my company, they gave Amazon coupons instead of cash. I was so hesistate to get things on line because things could be look differently in person. When I received an deal of the week email, I decided to get it, it turned out perfect. I wear this watch to work everyday and received a tons of compliments. Some of the previous comments said this watch is big, but I think it's a right size, very modern and elegant. I would definitely recommend to everyone.
