Is the Bulova Marine Star Series B good for swimming?

Yes. It is rated to 200m (20 bar), which covers swimming, showering and snorkeling. It is not a dive computer, so avoid deep diving.

Does it have a sapphire crystal?

Yes. The crystal is sapphire with an anti-reflective coating, which resists scratches better than the mineral glass on many watches at this level.

Is it automatic or quartz?

It is quartz. That means it keeps time accurately and never needs winding, but it lacks the sweeping seconds hand of an automatic.

What size is the case?

The case is 41mm wide with 20mm lugs. That is a mid-size case that fits most wrists without looking oversized.

How does it compare with the Seiko 5 Sports?

The Seiko 5 Sports is automatic and has a rotating bezel; the Marine Star is quartz with sapphire and a two-tone finish. Choose the Bulova for low maintenance and a dressier look, the Seiko for mechanical appeal.

Does it have a rotating bezel?

No. This Series B variant has a fixed bezel, so it is a dive-style watch rather than a true dive watch with a timing bezel.
