Mens Archive Series LED Computron Stainless Steel Watch

Bought this as a gift for my son who really loves watches. Kind of funny cuz his father loved them and collected them and my father did as well so it must be a man thing. Anyway he says the quality is fabulous and he really loves the style.

Very nice retro style

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.

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.

Great watch

Just as advertised

My husband loves this item! He gets so many compliments on it! It is difficult to change the time. But it’s a small inconvenience compared to the look and feel.

the thin band is not great, but all in all, its a very cool retro watch that will get a ton of attention. because its bulova, it is about 100 too much, but whatever, nobody else is making a watch this interesting. worth it and I do like it
