As smooth as Grand Seiko, more accurate than Rolex 

I purchased the gold one during a Black Friday sales event. I picked it up on Dec 4 and when it came time to set the clocks ahead in March, it had moved less than a second. That’s insane.

Yes! Finally Bulova is moving in the right direction with their precisionist watches. I like the movement, but would never have purchased one of the huge, flashy, spiral adorned pieces they had previously offered. I recently saw a review of a yellow dial version and thought that is was decent, but that limited edition looks great.

They have none of the elegance of a Grand Seiko, however. I do like some of those dials though.

A ten quid casio is more accurate than a rolex.

Everything is a fraction. 2/1 is a fraction.

More accurate than a grand seiko ...not so GS quartz is accurate to 5 sec a year

Frequency is 262,144 hz, which is 2^18 (2 to the power of 18). A run of the mill quartz crystal oscillates at 2^15. Why they work to those exponentials? No idea! 😊

My Glycine loses more seconds in a day than this thing does in a year!

Accutron is their accurate watch🤣

I wonder if they mean that a higher frequency could result in a more precise amplitude. You can adjust and regulate a precise instrument to be accurate, maybe they claim the higher frequency is more stable over a wider range of conditions. Also saying something is accurate implies it will always stay that way, a precision instrument needs to be checked and calibrated. Might have been a marketing or legal decision to make sure people serviced them like a mechanical watch.

That Gold version is so retro and so 1970's funky. So cool.

Very cool watch, Bulova is done great with their vintage looking new releases.

Purchased red dial version late last year. Smoothness of sweeping seconds hand is mesmerizing.

Nice to have someone so clearly state the difference between precision and accuracy - lot of people don't appreciate the distinction... I actually saw the title of the video and wondered if that was where you were going with it... given your engineering background.

I own 2 of the 3 models of the Jet Star., the limited edition silver dial and the gold case version. I purchased one and received the other as a gift. I have a collection of about 30 watches and these are 2 of the four with quartz movements. The rest are hand wound or automatics. In short, a quartz watch has to have some special feature for me to own it. And I have to say that the Jet Star collection meets that requirement in spades. I love the accuracy of the watches. Far better, in fact, than advertised. Over the 6 months I've owned them, each has lost a total of less than 2 seconds. All that and the smooth sweep of a second hand that mimics a mechanical watch. As another contributor noted, it's wonderful to see Bulova finally add watches to the Precisionist collection that don't look like rejects from the Invicta design studio!

Love these videos Marc. I learn a lot.

I have the silver with red and blue accent version of the Jet Star Precisionist. I've been recording the time for 5 months now and it has yet to lose a second. Dead accurate still after 5 months. This is Grand Seiko level of accuracy with similar quality and smoothness to boot!

I own one - great watch! Quartz movement with super smooth movement!

Very cool. That limited edition one is definitely on my radar. Thanks for the great reviews and the mini lesson.

The additional matching strap looks great too! Always enjoy the videos, Marc. ✨
