Our take on the Bulova Octava Crystal Accents Men's Watch 98A292

The Bulova Octava 98A292 is a men's automatic dress watch with a textured dial and crystal accents set into the bezel and markers. Its self-winding movement never needs a battery, which sets it apart from quartz dress watches in the same class. The look is bold and shiny, so it suits people who want a statement piece for evenings and events rather than a quiet everyday watch. Against slim minimalist dress watches, it trades subtlety for sparkle and a heavier wrist presence.

Questions and answers

Does the Bulova Octava 98A292 need a battery?
No. It runs on an automatic mechanical movement that winds from the motion of your wrist. If you leave it off for a few days it will stop and need setting again.
Is it safe to wear in water?
It is water resistant, but the rating is modest. Wear it for hand washing and rain, not for swimming or showering.
How accurate is an automatic watch like this?
Expect it to gain or lose a few seconds a day, which is normal for automatic movements. It will not match a quartz watch for precision.
Is it too flashy for everyday wear?
The crystal accents make it a dressier watch. Many owners wear it for evenings and events and choose something plainer for daily use.
How does it compare with a quartz dress watch?
It is thicker and heavier and less precise, but it offers a mechanical movement and a more decorative look. Quartz rivals are slimmer and more set-and-forget.
