Bulova Champlain Precisionist

Mechanical watch owners may have all the swagger now because their watches cost more than most people’s cars. Bulova gives you a fighting chance in the swagger wars with the Champlain Precisionist. Sure, it has a Japanese quartz movement, but it’s better than a mechanical version because it’s very accurate. Just how much? About 10 seconds a year, that’s how. A clever mechanism tames the quartz vibration and makes it tolerant to temperature changes, keeping the movement’s accuracy. And it beats faster too, around 16 beats a minute, compared to eight to 10 for a mechanical watch, so the sweeping seconds hand appear smoother and looks cooler. $450.
