- Is the Bulova Miami E1 good for swimming?
- Yes. It is rated 10 ATM, which covers swimming and snorkeling. Avoid pressing the chronograph pushers underwater, and do not take it diving.
- Does it come with both straps?
- Yes. The watch ships with a blue leather strap and a blue silicone strap, both fitting the same case. The buckle closure is standard.
- How does it compare with a Seiko chronograph?
- The Miami E1 gives you sapphire glass and 100m water resistance on a quartz movement. Seiko chronographs at a similar level often use mineral glass or Hardlex, so the Bulova wins on scratch resistance.
- Is the crystal really sapphire?
- Yes, Bulova lists sapphire crystal for this model. That is a step above the mineral glass common on fashion-brand chronographs.
- What functions does the movement offer?
- Quartz chronograph with stopwatch, tachymeter scale, date window and luminous hands and markers. It runs on a standard battery rather than automatic winding.
- Will the 12-hour dial and date need resetting often?
- No. A quartz movement keeps time accurately with little adjustment. You will mainly reset the date after months with fewer than 31 days.
