Review: Bulova 96E04 Men’s Black Diamond Multifunction Watch

My brother really loves watches.  He owns several different high-quality men’s watches with black faces and diamonds. He has been looking at the Bulova 96E04 so I decided to research and review it.

This watch boasts 32 real diamonds which makes it a little flashy in a good, attractive way, but not too much.  It would be easy to wear this watch in a formal setting, or more casually like in a dance club.  This is a watch that will look fantastic with many different clothing choices.

Luxury watch connoisseurs prefer the term timepiece, and I feel this analog watch deserves that title.  It has a round black dial with square indices, three hands, and three subdials.  As the subdials are analog as well, this unit displays the day and date in a classic, sophisticated way.   It has a stainless steel bezel which has a very attractive texture.  The band clasp is fold over and is also stainless steel (see below for more photographs).  It is water resistant up to ninety-nine (99) feet or 30 meters.  It features quartz movement and a quality mineral crystal window.  The 14mm band is neither too narrow or wide.

It retails for over $600, but you can easily purchase this watch online for anywhere from 30-50% less.  Buying at a brick and mortar location will just cost you extra money.

This timepiece is very well reviewed by its owners.  At Amazon.com, it has a 5 out of 5 average review, which is stellar to say the least.  Other well known, high-quality items of all types do not always have such happy customers.

Here are some snippets of comments from actual owners:

• “… flashy while still being conservative. It also is very good quality as well as functional… “
• “… overall effect of each hour marker is striking and noticeable… “
• “… I receive many compliments at work …”
• “… I previewed this watch at a local Macy’s before ordering from Kenmar through Amazon (and saving hundreds of dollars in the process) …”
• “… Alot of people will stare at this watch so beware, strangers will come up to you and give you comments! …”

Overall, Bulova is known for high quality and very attractive watches.  This is a solid item sold by many reputable companies online and shipping it directly to your home or office.
