Is the Bulova Series X 98B456 good for swimming?

Yes. It is rated 10 ATM, or 100 meters, which covers swimming and showering. It is not a dive watch and should not be used for scuba diving.

Does it have a sapphire crystal?

Yes. The crystal is sapphire, which is much harder to scratch than the mineral glass used on most quartz watches in this class.

What size is the case and how does it fit?

The case is 42mm across and round, with a 23mm strap width. That is a fairly large case, so it suits medium to larger wrists best.

Can I change the strap?

Yes. The strap is interchangeable, and the 23mm lug width takes replacement bracelets, leather or rubber straps of that size.

Yes. There is a date function on the black dial alongside the index markers.

Is it quartz or automatic?

It is quartz, powered by a battery. You never need to wind it, and it keeps time with the accuracy typical of quartz movements.

About the Bulova Series X Watch 98B456

The Bulova Series X 98B456 is a men's quartz watch with a 42mm stainless steel round case, a black dial with index markers and a date window, and a matching steel bracelet. It stands out for sapphire crystal and 100m water resistance, both above what most quartz watches at this level offer, where mineral glass and 50m ratings are common. The interchangeable strap and 23mm lug width let you swap the bracelet for leather or rubber. It suits someone who wants a durable everyday steel watch with a sporty look rather than a dress watch.
