The Bulova Oceanographer Devil Diver is widely praised for its retro design, vibrant color options, and value, especially when on sale. Owners appreciate its striking dial, unique crystal indices, and faithful revival of the 1972 original. Some find the 41mm case wearable due to its slope and short lugs, while others consider it too thick or "blingy." The Miyota 821D movement, with its 21,600 bph and 42-hour power reserve, is noted as a compromise for the price, with some owners experiencing significant accuracy variations from +19 to -10 seconds per day. The clasp and bracelet sizing pins are also points of criticism for some, and the acrylic bezel insert is noted as susceptible to scratches. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Bulova Oceanographer Devil Diver highly for its distinctive styling and retro appeal at an accessible price point.
