- Is the Bulova 97L177 good for everyday wear?
- Yes. Quartz keeps it accurate with no winding, and 30 m resistance covers handwashing and rain. Take it off before swimming or showering.
- Can I swim with this watch?
- No. The 30 m rating means splash resistance only, so keep it out of pools, showers and the sea.
- Does it have a date window?
- No. The dial shows time only, with Roman numerals and plain markers.
- Is the bracelet real gold?
- No. It is gold-tone stainless steel, so the color is a finish rather than solid gold.
- Can I resize the bracelet myself?
- It uses a clasp and pin-linked bracelet. Most owners have links removed by a jeweler, since the pins are small and easy to bend.
- How does it compare with a sapphire-crystal dress watch?
- Sapphire resists scratches far better. This watch uses mineral glass, which is more prone to scuffs but cheaper to replace.
