Is the 96A187 a real automatic watch?

Yes. It uses a self-winding automatic movement with 21 jewels, so it winds from the motion of your wrist. It has no battery.

It is rated to 100m, which covers swimming and showering. Avoid pressing the crown underwater and skip diving.

How does it compare with the Bulova Classic quartz models?

The automatic adds a sweeping seconds hand and a see-through case back, but it is thicker and needs wearing to keep running. Quartz versions are thinner and need only a battery change.

The watch comes in a Bulova box with the product documents.

No. The dial is time-only, with no date window.

How does the clasp work?

It uses a deployment clasp on the stainless steel bracelet, so you open and close the clasp rather than unbuckling a strap.
