| Home » Bulova #96R000 Womens Diamond Accented Chronograph Watch | | | | | | | Product Promotions: | | | | | Description: | | About Bulova: The beginnings of the Bulova Watch Corporation can be traced to a small jewelry store opened on Maiden Lane in New York City in 1875 by Joseph Bulova, a 23-year-old immigrant from Bohemia. In 1911, Bulova began manufacturing boudoir and desk clocks, along with fine pocket watches, which he made and sold in unprecedented numbers. During World War I, wristwatches were issued in the military for their greater convenience. Returning veterans brought them home, and a new fashion was created. In the 1950s, Bulova developed the Accutron, the first electronic watch, which was accurate to keeping time to within two seconds a day. During the 1960s, NASA asked the company to bring its timing expertise to computers for the Space Program. A Bulova timer was placed on the moon's Sea of Tranquility to control the transmissions of vital data through the years. | | | Features: | |

 WOW!Nov 14, 2007
By Polly Wally
MODERN, FEMININE, UNIQUE AND SOPHISTICATED. This watch is even more beautiful in person! I've had it for about 1 month now and have gotten so many compliments. I can't stop looking at it, it's just that pretty. This particular model really stands out, especially when you compare it to the other Bulova watches for women, or women's watches in general. Not to mention it looks like it costs a fortune! This model is much bigger and heavier than your average women's watch, so it is not a watch to buy if you want something discrete. The diamonds are very very tiny and you can barely see them, so if you are looking for something with bigger, more visible diamonds, you will need to spend a lot more. My favorite thing about this watch, besides the fact that the face is so gorgeous and unique, is that I can dress it up or down. It can look sporty or super dressy. It goes with everything!
PS. I was considering Bulova's Diamond Chronograph Watch #96R19 (very popular model). In person, this one is waaaay better looking and much more sophisticated! Not to mention I wanted something not everybody has. It looks like it costs 10x more than the #96R19. I am so glad I saw them in person before making a decision.

I love this Marine Star!Nov 28, 2007
By Peppermint
I just got mine today after much debating between this and the round face Bulova 96R19 model. It was a tough choice, but I finally settled on the square face after going to Macy's and comparing the two styles side by side. This square-face style looks slightly larger than the round-face style, in person. Also, the band on this watch is noticeably wider. It is a heavy, substantial-feeling timepiece. The watch is also MUCH shinier in person than in the photos here. I suggest looking at the JCPenney website's pictures of this watch, as they are great and seem to be truer in color and clarity to the actual watch. I love my Marine Star, so far. I have had a Tag Heuer for years, and I initially looked at getting another one, but when I was browsing, I stumbled on this Bulova, and I just LOVED the styling. It is so beautiful, and it's such an elegant, expensive-looking watch for the price.

 Gorgeous WatchFeb 10, 2008
By MooziBear
This watch looks much more expensive than it is. I have gotten so many compliments on it. It has a 'rugged' look to it because it is square and chunky. If you're looking for a dainty feminine watch, this is not it. The face is quite large and the band is substantial. I have had men ask me if it is a man's watch. But if you like "strong" jewelry (think David Yurman style) this is the watch for you. The band is quite large for normal wrists, I had to have 3 links removed so it would fit appropriately. But other than that, LOVE IT!

Just what I was looking forMar 11, 2008
By D. M. Pereira
I ordered this watch because I was looking to get away from my round face watches, wanted something different. I wasn't disappointed when I received it. Perfect. Chunky. Just enough bling, but not too much so you can't wear it everyday. I have owned other Bulova watches before and this one is my favorite thus far. Not sure I will ever use the chronograph part of this watch but it one striking watch and I get compliments on it all the time.

 It's okMar 03, 2009
By Sophi
I thought it would have at least a little more sparkle than what is actual. It's a nice watch. Good for everyday use. I do get compliments on it.Reading all the previous reviews I was waiting to be knocked off my feet and I wasn't. It's just nice, works well, and it can be dressed up or down. But I use it for everyday wearing. If you're going to get this watch, get it on sale because it is not worth full price. I got it about half off and that's why I didn't return it. Full price they would of gotten it back. Hope this is helpful.
