The bezel has a blue enamel surface with a dive time scale and attractive and coin-edge detailing. The watch presents on a rugged link bracelet of brushed and polished steel fastens with a foldover buckle and safety clasp. Other notable features include precise quartz movement, a screw-down crown, and a scratch-resistant mineral crystal. Water-resistant to 200 meters, this watch is suitable for swimming and recreational scuba diving.

This is the perfect "man" watch. It is dressy and casual. The size and construction is great and the deep blue face color is beautiful. It looks great and also the fact that it is water proof and able to go so deep
makes it the perfect "man" watch. My boyfriend is not a watch man, but he better love it or it's going to my father.

I have been an admirer of Bulova watches for years. After receiving the Marine Star 98C62 for Christmas I was ecstatic. After three months the pins to the band broke. Nothing uncommon, however after the factory pins breaking I was getting the pins replaced monthly, and sometimes weekly, depending on the activities I was involved in. I finally had enough and called Bulova and they said to mail the watch in so they could hopefully resolve the problem. After sending it back after only owning the watch for 6 months I received my watch back with the hopes the problem would finally be resolved. Not the case. The very next day the wrist pin broke. I called into Bulova with my complaint and told them how unsatisfied I was. I was informed by the manager that they were aware of problems with the watch band and that the pin was to thin for the weight of the watch. I was given the option to pick another watch of my choice at no cost and was instructed to choose one with a different band. I chose the 98h25 and am hoping to not have this problem occur again. With the watch itself I have had no problems but the durability of the band has been a great disappointment, and the fact that they are willing to bite the cost to replace my watch with one of greater value really speaks volumes.
Happy customer!! August 17, 2008

Can't beat the price, great value on a very good and stylish watch.
The only thing is that the background is alot darker than it looks in the picture, but still love it.

I purchased this watch after rather exhaustively reviewing the many, many offerings at Amazon.com. When it first arrived, I found myself vaguely let down. Somehow, it didn't seem quite as striking as in the photos. But as the weeks have gone by, my opinion has completely turned around on that. This watch is really very beautiful, and the numerous compliments I've now received serve as confirmation. It also appears to be extremely accurate and, contrary to some other reviews, setting it (including day and date) was not at all difficult. Do remember that it has a screw-down crown; you need to unscrew it before actually pulling out the stem. That is NOT explained, at all, in the (very inadequate) instruction manual.
Is this equal to an Omega automatic diver's watch, which has a similar appearance? I'm sure it's not. But, then, it only costs about 1/10th as much. It very likely equals or exceeds similar Invictas as well as any similar Citizen or Seiko watch.
I've not owned it long enough to speak of its durability. But I tend to be hard on watches, and I've already subjected this one to some small abuses. So far, it remains flawless, suggesting that they've really used top-rank materials in its construction.
Sadly, one reason I bought this watch no longer holds true. I knew it was made overseas (Japan, I believe), but that's true of virtually all watches. I am not sure, in fact, if a single watch (including movement) is still made here, and certainly nothing that's affordable. But I was under the impression that Bulova remained a U.S.-owned company, and that they still at least designed all their offerings here. And they may indeed still do that. But earlier this year the company was purchased by Citizen Watch Co. of Japan. No more U.S. involvement save for whatever facilities the new owners decide to keep here.
Note that I purchased this directly from Amazon.com. Shipping was as promised, with it arriving a few days sooner than I expected. I have had no occasion to test their warranty service or return policies. I could have saved $10-$15 by buying from one of the other vendors at Amazon. But that vendor had a significant number of poor reviews (I think running over 10%), and I didn't think saving a few bucks was worth dealing with a dubious vendor.
