- Is the Bulova Octava 96C134 good for daily wear?
- Yes, for office and dress wear. The quartz movement is low-maintenance and the steel bracelet holds up to daily use. Keep it away from water beyond hand washing.
- Can I swim with it?
- No. Its 3 ATM rating covers splashes and rain only, not swimming or showering.
- Does it have a date and luminous hands?
- Yes. It has a date window and luminous hands, plus a 24-hour subdial.
- How does it compare with a plain steel dress watch?
- The Octava adds a crystal-set bezel and a 24-hour subdial, so it looks dressier. A plain steel watch is more understated and often has sapphire glass.
- What size is the case?
- It is a men's watch with a full-size steel case and bracelet. Check the case diameter if you have a small wrist, since crystal-set bezels wear large.
- Is the glass sapphire?
- No, it uses mineral glass. It resists everyday knocks but scratches more easily than sapphire.
