Owners praise the Bulova Black Dial Leather Strap Racer Chronograph 98B427 for its fresh racing chronograph designs and dial aesthetics. Some owners find the 42mm case size larger than preferred. The faux-rally strap's non-functional perforations are noted, and one owner suggests the chronograph function may only track seconds, not fractions. Some anticipate price drops due to its quartz movement. Overall, owners rate the Bulova Black Dial Leather Strap Racer Chronograph 98B427 positively for its racing-inspired dial aesthetics, though some find the case size large and the strap design questionable.
Owners widely appreciate the intentionally distressed look and unique bronze coloration of the Out of Order Bronzo Chrono, finding it robust for hard wear. The brand's "Damaged in Italy" aesthetic is seen by some as a welcome, unique approach, though others dismiss it as a gimmick. Some owners note the included leather strap is cheap and plan to replace it. Overall, owners rate the Out of Order Bronzo Chrono highly for its unique, distressed aesthetic and robust build quality at the price.
