On the other hand the Bulova 98C121 does look really great and fits well with the latest trends and style of today’s market. The smartly designed face has an almost fabric looking interior and is surrounded by an ion-plated 10.3mm stainless steel case.

The dial features a multi-functional design and out with the traditional time markers, comes with three smaller dials, found in the centre of the watch for easy reading, which shows the day and date. The white coloured hands show up well in contrast to the surrounding darkness and ensures it is easy to read in all lighting conditions. The dial gives this watch the sporty look and as far as practicality goes it would be easy to use in a sporty environment.
As well as being stylish and modern the 98C121 has a water resistance of up to 99 feet and is enhanced by the flat mineral crystal face to prevent the delicate details from any bumps and scrapes along the way, this will be sufficient if you take care of the watch and don’t intend to get into any sticky situations.
The stainless steel black band is the key to keeping this watch together. It boasts sturdiness and strength and looks great at the same time. However the band may feel heavy and is not exactly the greatest material for a band on a sporty piece. As a fashion statement, Bulova have worked well to provide a sporty watch in a stylish manner, and this time-piece really does fit well with a lot of outfits and styles.

Smart, sporty and stylish – the Bulova 98C121 stands out for being a well-designed and unique watch. This may not be the top dog when it comes to technological features however it does offer a sporty and professional look and gives the impression of someone who cares about their style.
Bulova have put in the attention to detail with this one and have made the dial look more complicated than it actually is – which is never a bad thing. The date and day markers are neatly presented in the three smaller dials, giving easy access to useful information at a glance.
