Bulova Mens Archive Series LED Computron Stainless Steel Watch

I’m a fairly tall guy at 6’-2” but I don’t consider myself a giant and I needed to leave all the bracelet links in place. I love the watch, but you should take note that you do have to press a button to see the time, date, etc. I was well aware of this functionality and I think this quirkiness is part of its beauty. It is super bright and easily readable even in daylight. The polished stainless is bright and shiny. The friction style clasp is secure. If you want a retro-modern digital watch, this Bulova hits the mark! You will be asked about your “bracelet” and it’s fun to show them.

I bought my first Bulova in Germany when I severed in the Army in 1976 and I love it now just as much as I did them. Bulova reissued this watch with a total redesign of the watch while keeping with the design of the first release. This is a drivers watch and the standard transmissions where the norm then, so it was normal to be removing your right hand from the wheel to shift or to tune the radio. So, it was easy to reach up to the wheel to push a button on the watch. Bulova should of added a sensor to detect movement just like any smart watch, but I am sure they did not as to get 2 year battery life out of a LED watch. I feel that the new watches are made so much better than the 1976 and 1977 models, as the electronics in them were not so good, but it was cutting edge at the time. And with the way the plating was done to the use of a single battery says they rethought the whole design. I love my Computrons and hope to hand then down to the next generation to enjoy.

I wanted a retro LED watch, and it came down to the Hamilton or the Bulova. I made the decision to by the Bulova because of the looks, and the Blue screen. I really like the seven micro-adjusment holes in the clasp, way more then other "normal" watches. It has some weight to it but not too much enough to make it feel like real stainless steel, the fit and finish is fantastic. I have worn it for a full day and I really like it. Now to save up to grab the black one, oh honey my birthday is coming up! This would make a great gift for someone who remembers these from the late 70's early 80's. My only concern and it is a small one. The clasp is pressure fit, there is no secondary latch to press to release the clasp, so if you happen to catch it on something, it my have enough force to open the clasp. The set up of the watch to adjust it to the correct time, day, and date was really easy. If you are looking for the short list of directions you must go to the Bulova web site to read them. No directions were in the box. The link pins are very hard to remove I made an attempt to remove them myself like my other watches, but after pushing gently it was determined that I did not have the right tools for this. I took it to a watch guy who used a jewelers hammer to drive them out of the links to make the adjustments. I would advise the same for you if you purchase this watch. I was 15 bucks for the link adjustment.

This is a watch for watch enthusiasts!! It’s a beautiful vintage design and aesthetic that provides a stylish look that anyone would appreciate. The band, at first feels a bit light and dare I say it, cheap, however this feeling fades with every wear and the overall appreciation of its appearance only increases. It’s also an incredibly accurate timepiece rating -5 seconds in the past month. Also, setting it is not as difficult as other reviews would suggest. I had been eyeing this watch for a few months and I’m glad I finally got it. It’s an accurate timepiece that looks incredible what more could you ask for?!

It exceeded my expectations. I thought the style and look was seamless, but I was afraid that it was going to feel and look cheap in person vs. the online photos, and I was wrong (something I hate admitting, but will do when necessary...LOL). The weight of the watch is good, feels solid, but others may disagree. I prefer a heavier weight watch. It reminds me I'm wearing one and not to pull out my phone to see the time because then I'll get distracted by all the phone apps. You do have to remove links in order to fit your wrist, which means the band is quite large and can fit a variety of wrist sizes. I would strongly encourage a cheap watch repair/link removal kit if you don't already have one. They run about <$10.00. Otherwise, you'll end up with a watch you can't immediately wear. Side note; you'll definitely get some attention from people with It being shiny and cool looking. Back to my review; if you're unaware how to remove watch links, please watch a video. There are small tiny arrows on the underbelly of the wrist band. They direct you of where to push the pins out in order to remove the links. You will need to reuse the same pins, be careful you don't bend them during the removal process. If you can't see the arrow direction, take your phone flashlight. My only disappointment hence the four stars vs. five, was the fact that the battery was already engaged. I have no idea how long the battery is going to last. It could be two years from now or it could be next week. Readability is very clear and bright. You won't have an issue in sunlight. Functionality is exactly what I was looking for, simple and straight forward. It tells the time, provides the date, seconds, and is also equipped with a second time zone, which provides you an opportunity to set a second time for when you're traveling or a colleague is traveling, but you forget how many hours ahead they are from you and you want/need to call them. I thought the value was good considering the price has gone up since my purchase. I am curious why the gold version is more expensive (I guess demand is the culprit). Maybe wait a little longer for it to go on sale? Regardless, I wasn't disappointed, which says a lot since I'm rarely satisfied with merchandise and their quality nowadays.

Watch display is very bright like other reviews say. Don't know if I'd consider it a negative but I do kinda wish it was an always-on display with a less bright light as to not drain the battery. Other than that, I love this watch. It's my favorite in my collection.
