Our take on the Bulova Men's Classic Black Multi-Function Watch 98C121

The Bulova 98C121 is a black ion-plated stainless steel watch with a patterned black dial and three sub-dials for day, date and 24-hour time. It is a quartz multifunction piece, not a chronograph, so the pushers set the calendar and 24-hour hand rather than timing laps. The all-black look and screw-back case give it a tougher, sportier feel than dress watches at the same level, while the fold-over clasp with safety lock is sturdier than a plain buckle. It suits someone who wants one dark everyday watch with calendar functions and does not need a stopwatch.

Best forDaily wear with casual or business-casual clothesBuyers who want day and date on the dialPeople who prefer an all-black, low-glare lookA first multifunction watch or a gift
Pros
  • Day, date and 24-hour sub-dials cover everyday needs
  • Black ion-plated stainless steel case and bracelet hold a uniform dark look
  • Screw-back case adds water resistance and durability
  • Double-press fold-over clasp with safety lock stays closed
  • Index markers keep the dial clean and easy to read
Cons
  • No chronograph despite the sub-dial layout some shoppers expect
  • Ion plating can wear at the clasp and edges over years
  • All-black dial and hands cut legibility in low light
  • No luminous hands or markers listed
  • One size only; bracelet links must be sized to fit

Questions and answers

Does the 98C121 have a chronograph?
No. The three sub-dials show day, date and 24-hour time. The pushers set those functions, not a stopwatch.
Is it water resistant?
It has a screw-back case, which helps keep moisture out, but Bulova does not rate this model for swimming. Treat it as splash resistant and take it off before swimming or showering.
What is the case size?
Bulova lists this Classic multifunction case at roughly 42 mm across. Check the exact figure on the caseback or with the seller before buying if wrist size matters.
Can the bracelet be resized?
Yes. It is a steel link bracelet, so a jeweler can remove links. The fold-over clasp has no fine micro-adjustment, so sizing is by whole links.
How does it compare with a chronograph like the Bulova Marine Star?
The 98C121 gives you calendar functions in a slimmer, dressier case. A Marine Star chronograph adds a stopwatch and often more water resistance but is bulkier.
What is in the box?
The watch, a Bulova presentation box and a warranty booklet. No extra strap is included.
Where is the Bulova Men's Classic Black Multi-Function Watch 98C121 cheapest?
