- Can I swim with the Bulova Sutton 98L308?
- No. Its 3 ATM rating covers splashes, rain and handwashing only. Swimming, showering and diving exceed the seal's rating and can let water in.
- Does it need winding or a battery?
- It runs on a quartz battery, so it needs no winding. Expect a battery change every couple of years or so.
- What size is the case and bracelet?
- It is a women's dress watch with a modest case and a stainless steel bracelet closed by a clasp. Check the listed case diameter and bracelet length for fit on your wrist.
- Is the gold tone solid gold?
- No. The case and bracelet are stainless steel with a gold-tone finish on the outer links and a silver-tone center. The finish can wear with heavy daily use.
- Does it have a date or glowing hands?
- No. The dial is a plain white face with index markers, no date window and no luminous coating, so it is hard to read in the dark.
- How does it compare with a sapphire-crystal watch?
- The Sutton uses mineral glass, which resists knocks but scratches more easily than sapphire. Rivals with sapphire cost more but hold up better over years.
