- Is the Bulova Maquina 98A341 a good first automatic watch?
- Yes, if you want a bold look. It has sapphire glass and a 42-hour reserve, and it is simple to wind and set. It is less versatile than a plain-dial automatic.
- Can I swim with it?
- No. Its 50m rating covers splashes, rain and handwashing only. Do not swim or shower with it.
- What is the power reserve?
- About 42 hours. Worn daily it stays wound; left off for two days it will stop and need resetting.
- Can I change the strap?
- Yes, but it uses a 24mm lug width, so you need a 24mm strap. A black leather or rubber strap tones down the red look.
- How does it compare with a Seiko 5 Sports?
- The Bulova adds sapphire crystal and a skeleton dial. The Seiko 5 offers more classic dials and often a day-date. Pick the Bulova for style, the Seiko for versatility.
- Is the dial easy to read?
- Less than a plain dial. The open skeleton design and index markers make quick reading harder, especially in low light.
