Owners widely praise the Bulova Black Dial EPDM Rubber Strap Series X 98B358 for its reliability and durability, noting its ability to withstand daily wear, accidental drops, and swimming. The quilted dial texture is a specific point of appreciation.

The watch features a quartz NN50 movement, a 300m water resistance rating, and a 45mm case. Overall, owners rate the Bulova Black Dial EPDM Rubber Strap Series X 98B358 highly for its robust build and attractive dial, though strap preference varies.

Owners are drawn to the Elliot Brown REME limited edition's rugged, "bad ass" look and no-nonsense design, with reviewers appreciating its genuinely rugged tool watch build and blasted finish. One owner notes the stock rubber strap is too short for a 7.5-inch wrist, and another expresses concerns about the crystal and legibility. The crowns are described as slightly undersized for easy adjustment. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the Elliot Brown REME limited edition for its rugged tool watch aesthetic and build quality.
