It can handle a 1000 feet (300 meters) underwater. Not only is it accurate, but itвЂ™s also the most water-resistant watch weвЂ™ll be reviewing. The 98B228 comes with the same 262 kHz quartzВ as its brother, making it extremely accurate. We loved the precisionist so much in the number 1 spot that we had to includeВ another PrecisionistВ to our review. Not only because itвЂ™s small, but due to the angle. ItвЂ™s tucked away in the corner of the dial, at a 4-oвЂ™clock angle.

So, have fun timing yourself.Дid we mention that the 98B104 is Japanese quartz? Unlike its brother in the number 1 spot, itвЂ™s not as accurate, unfortunately.Дid you notice the calendar? We didnвЂ™t either. They are 60 seconds, 60 minutes, and 24-hour chronographs. They arenвЂ™t there just to spice things up, these are the watchвЂ™s chronographs. It marks the minutes passed, making the watch easier to read.Д«y its markers, youвЂ™ll see 3 sub-dials. If you need Arabic numerals, know that there is an outer ring with the numerals plastered on. This time, it wouldnвЂ™t have ruined the timepieceвЂ™s look. Once again, we wish Arabic numerals were in place. Speaking of its markers, you get large, Roman numerals. Before you get too excited, the lume is only on the hands, not the markers. Like any watch fit for the seas, the 98B104 has a luminous dial. That being said, Bulova says that you can snorkel with it on, at most. If youвЂ™re wondering whether you can dive with it on, the answer is no. The timepiece can reach depths of 330 feet (100 meters) underwater. So, how far can it last underwater? Quite a bit.

This is disappointing as rubber does not feel as luxurious as leather, but Bulova made this change for good reason. Unfortunately, the watch doesnвЂ™t come with a leather strap. Its case is 1.73 inches (44 mm), but itвЂ™s barely bigger than the 98B267. We hope you like big watches as the 98B104 is gigantic. This isnвЂ™t much of an issue, just a personal preference, especially since Arabic numerals would have ruined its look. We also wouldвЂ™ve loved Arabic numerals as they make the watch easier to read. We wouldвЂ™ve loved it if it read the day along with the date, but weвЂ™re satisfied. It comes with a calendar too, which is a nice touch. You get luminous hands and markers, letting you use it in the dimmest of settings. ItвЂ™s not like youвЂ™ll be bashing your watch around all the time, so this might not matter.ДЄlthough itвЂ™s a fashion watch, the dial is pretty functional. Mineral is tough, but not as hard as sapphire. In terms of its crystal, you get regular mineral. ItвЂ™s the three-prong quartz crystal precisionist, with an 8-time higher frequency than standard quartz. What is special is the quartz that the 98B267 has. But this isnвЂ™t noteworthy, there are thousands of Japanese quartz on the market. For starters, it comes with a Japanese quartz movement and is more accurate than any automatic watch on the market. Not only does the timepiece look great, but itвЂ™s also pretty accurate. It doesnвЂ™t have much of a benefit other than making your watch look more expensive. Bulova says that itвЂ™s coated with real gold. Speaking of its case, youвЂ™ll see a rose gold top ring. Its case is 1.69 inches (43 mm) across, so keep this in mind if you have smaller wrists.

Then again, is this that impressive? Stuhrling offers alligator skin too, and theyвЂ™re a cheaper brand. We have to say, the alligator skin was a nice touch, however. Unless youвЂ™re a fan of soggy watches, go for it. You might not even want to get it in the water. YouвЂ™re probably wondering if you can dive with it on. The timepiece can withstand depths of 330 feet (100 meters) underwater. Looking for a good-looking watch thatвЂ™s also water-resistant? The Bulova 98267 is right up your alley.
