Our take on the Bulova Marine Star Diamond Accent Watch 98D176

The Bulova Marine Star 98D176 is a men's quartz watch with a gold-tone stainless steel case and bracelet, a black dial with Roman numerals, diamond accents and a date window. It is rated 10 ATM (100 m), so it handles swimming and showering, and the mineral crystal resists everyday scratches. Against sportier Marine Star models it trades chronograph functions and a rotating bezel for a dressier look; against entry-level fashion watches it offers a real dive-style water rating and a known watch brand. It suits buyers who want a gold-tone watch that works with a suit but can still take a dunking.

Questions and answers

Can I swim with the Bulova Marine Star 98D176?
Yes. It is rated 10 ATM (100 m), which covers swimming and showering. Avoid pressing the crown underwater and skip diving.
Does it have a sapphire crystal?
No. It uses mineral glass, which resists everyday scratches but is softer than sapphire.
Is the bracelet solid stainless steel or plated?
The case and bracelet are stainless steel with a gold-tone finish. The plating can wear at high-friction points like the clasp over time.
