Is the Bulova Marine Star worth it at $159?

At $159 at Distritech as of November 3, it is a fair price for a steel quartz watch with 100 m water resistance. Comparable dive-style watches from Seiko or Citizen often cost more, though they may offer sapphire or automatic movements.

How does the 43 mm case fit?

43 mm is on the large side and suits wrists roughly 7 inches and up. On smaller wrists it will overhang and look chunky, so try one on if you can.

Yes. It is rated to 100 meters, which covers swimming and snorkeling. Avoid pressing buttons or the crown underwater, and do not dive with it.

Does it have a battery?

Yes, it runs on a quartz battery, typically lasting about two to three years. A jeweler can replace it cheaply.

What comes in the box?

Expect the watch, a Bulova presentation box and a warranty booklet. Extra links for the bracelet are usually included so it can be sized.

Bulova Marine Star models drop most during holiday sales and end-of-season clearances. Watch for prices under $160, which is where the current best price sits.

Our take on the Bulvoa Men's Marine Star Stainless Steel Black Dial

The Bulova Men's Marine Star is a quartz dive-style watch with a 43 mm stainless steel case, steel bracelet, black dial, date window and 100 m water resistance. Its size and bold dial make it a visible everyday piece rather than a dress watch. The latest best price is $159 at Distritech as of November 3, which sits near the low end of its recent range.
