  • Our take on the Bulova 97d121

    The Bulova 97D121 is a men's quartz chronograph in gold-tone stainless steel with a black dial and date window. It runs on a battery, so there is no winding or charging, and the mineral crystal and 30 m water resistance suit everyday wear rather than swimming. Against rivals at the same level, it offers a chronograph and date in a gold-tone case where many competitors give you only a three-hand dial. Owners of similar Bulova chronographs praise the looks and the legible dial, but note that gold-tone plating can wear and that 30 m is minimal water protection.

    Questions and answers

    Is the Bulova 97D121 good for everyday wear?
    Yes. The stainless steel case and bracelet and quartz movement suit daily office and casual wear. Keep it away from swimming and showers because water resistance is only 30 m.
    Can I swim with this watch?
    No. Its 3 ATM rating covers splashes and brief hand washing, not swimming, showering or diving.
    Does it need winding or charging?
    Neither. It is a battery quartz watch, so you only replace the battery when it stops.
    What does the chronograph do?
    The pushers run a stopwatch for timing events, and the subdials show the elapsed time. The date window adds a daily calendar.
    How does it compare with an automatic Bulova?
    Quartz is more accurate and needs no winding, while automatics appeal to buyers who want a mechanical movement. This model favors low maintenance and a lower profile on the wrist.
    What is in the box?
    The watch on its stainless steel bracelet, with the Bulova documentation. Check the listing for any extra packaging.
    Where is the Bulova 97d121 cheapest?
    At JCPenney, for $431.25, as of our latest check.
