- Is the Bulova Crystal Octava a real automatic watch?
- Yes. It uses a 21-jewel automatic movement that winds from the motion of your wrist. If you leave it off for a few days it will stop and need resetting or hand-winding.
- Can I swim or shower with it?
- No. Water resistance is rated at 30 meters, which covers splashes and rain only. Keep it off for swimming, showering and washing dishes.
- Does it need a battery?
- No. The automatic movement is powered by wrist motion. There is no battery to replace, but it does need regular wear or manual winding to keep running.
- What is the open aperture on the dial?
- It is a cutout that shows part of the movement inside, typically the balance wheel. It is decorative and does not add functions.
- How does it compare with a plain stainless steel dress watch?
- It trades the clean look of a plain dress watch for 251 crystals and a gold-tone finish. You get the same automatic movement class, but far more sparkle and more upkeep.
