    Questions and answers

    Is the Bulova 97B227 worth it at $158?
    At $158 at JCPenney as of November 3, 2026, it is a fair price for a quartz dress watch with a steel case and bracelet. You are paying for the look and the Bulova name, not for a luxury movement.
    Can I swim with this watch?
    No. It is rated 30 m, which covers splashes and hand washing only. The 100 m rating in some listings does not match Bulova's spec for this model, so treat it as not swim-proof.
    Is it quartz or automatic?
    It is quartz, powered by a battery, so it needs no winding. Some listings call it mechanical or automatic, but the 97B227 is a quartz watch.
    What size wrist does the bracelet fit?
    The bracelet is 20 mm wide and listed as fitting up to a 7 in wrist. Larger wrists may need extra links from a jeweler.
    What comes in the box?
    The watch arrives new in its original Bulova box. A warranty card is normally included; check the listing for the covered period.
    When is it cheapest?
    Dress watches like this usually dip during holiday sales and Father's Day promotions. Track the price history here rather than buying at full list.
