FAQs
How do I change the battery?
It is recommended that you take your watch to a qualified watchmaker to replace the battery to ensure the water resistance is maintained.
Is the watch water-resistant?
The watch is water-resistant. Please refer to the watch's specifications for its specific water resistance rating and avoid exposing it to water beyond that limit.
What kind of crystal does the watch have?
The watch features anti-reflective sapphire glass for superior scratch resistance and clarity.
What is the warranty period?
Bulova watches typically come with a warranty. Check your warranty card or the Bulova website for specific details on the warranty period and coverage.
How do I use the tachymeter?
The tachymeter allows you to measure speed based on travel time. Start the chronograph when you begin to travel a known distance (e.g., 1 kilometer or 1 mile). Stop the chronograph when the distance is completed. The tachymeter scale indicates your speed based on the position of the chronograph seconds hand.
How should I store my watch when not in use?
Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. A watch box or a safe environment is ideal.
Can I wear this watch while swimming or diving?
Refer to the water resistance rating of your specific watch model. If the watch is water-resistant, it may be suitable for swimming. However, it is not recommended for diving unless specifically stated.
Where can I get my watch serviced?
You can have your watch serviced at an authorized Bulova service center or by a qualified watchmaker.
