- Is the Bulova Marc Anthony 97A200 a good first automatic watch?
- Yes, if you want a dress watch with visible mechanics. The open-heart dial and see-through caseback make the automatic movement easy to appreciate, and there is no battery to replace. Expect to wear it regularly or wind it by hand to keep it running.
- How does it compare with a Seiko or Tissot dress automatic?
- It is larger than most Seiko Presage and Tissot Le Locle models, at 44 mm, and its champagne open-heart dial is more decorative. Those rivals usually offer a date window and higher water resistance. Choose the Bulova for the dial and the Marc Anthony name.
- Does the 97A200 have a date window?
- No. The dial is clean, with the open-heart aperture as the main feature. If you want a date, look at other Bulova automatics or a Seiko Presage.
- What is in the box?
- The watch on its stainless steel bracelet, with Bulova's standard paperwork. A display box is typical for the line, but confirm the contents with the seller.
- Can I wear it every day?
- It works as a daily dress watch, but the automatic movement needs motion to stay wound, and water resistance is limited. Take it off for swimming, showers and heavy chores.
- Is the 44 mm case too big?
- It wears large and suits wrists around 7 inches or more. On a slim wrist the lugs may overhang. Try it on if you can before committing.
- Where is the Bulova Marc Anthony with 44X44 MM Champagne Round Dial Stainless Steel Watch Band; Autumatic 97A200 cheapest?
