Bulova Precisionist - Quartz or Automatic ?

[craggers]

Taken a fancy one of those - model 96B132

Some website saying it Quartz but some other is saying automatic. So which one it really is ?

Quartz, I thought - though it does have a gliding second hand similar to an auto/mechanical.

Cheers for the link.

Is it worth getting it? (I normally don't buy quartz watch). Or is Citizen Eco-Drive BJ2110-01E better ?

Both are quartz, of course.

The Bulova needs a battery like most, whilst the Eco-Drive's solar battery charging is a neat idea (I know a few people who've had them a few years too, and they seem reliable).

The Bulova's USP is the 'sweeping' second hand (It's not QUITE seamless, but it's very close to it).

I quite like the concept of the Precisionist and the model you list is quite competitively priced.

I guess only you can decide if it's better than a Citizen.

Citizen own Bulova

I'd go for the Citizen personally, simply because I prefer the looks and the solar tech over the sweeping hand of the Bulova.
