As a brand that’s been in the racing industry since the mid-’40s, Bulova knows auto-inspired watches. And now the brand has introduced a watch that represents the efforts it has put into motorsports, incorporating various aspects into the timepiece that align with its main principles.

The new timepiece has a 44 mm casing characterized by smooth curves and bends similar to those featured on high-end racing cars. To provide multiple styling options, the main case is available in two different finishes: black IP and stainless steel.

Every single element, from the bezel to the casing, is complemented by the two-toned tachymeter, which creates a magnificent contrast between different parts. But the stylish dial is definitely the cherry on the cake. It comes in multiple colors—black and blue—giving the watch a stylish look.

Thanks to the 24-hour chronograph subdial and 60-second subdial, Bulova passed down its timeless engineering spirit through this timepiece.

Bulova was the main sponsor of the Ferrari team in the NASCAR racing series in the mid-70s. In addition, it was involved in Formula One in the ‘80s by sponsoring the winner of the 1989 Japanese Grand Prix.

Since the Bulova watch is the perfect representation of an adrenaline-fueled spirit, it brings to life the excitement that drivers get while racing in different leagues. So, this new timepiece is a suitable option for different situations, from racing to day-to-day activities.

The Bulova Racer Chronograph retails from $595 to $695, and it is available in the Bulova store and other authorized retailers.

Garmin presents the new Instinct 3 collection of tactical watches with advanced tactical functionalities to enhance the user experience. It features three watches—a 45mm solar version, a 50 mm solar option, and a 45 mm AMOLED piece. The solar variants are designed to offer unlimited battery power to tackle the toughest outdoor expeditions. A bigger screen means more surface area for solar energy.

While the battery goes a long way in providing an enhanced user experience, the watch’s durability is also quite crucial, so the brand upgraded the bezel and reinforced it for multiple activities. The solar functionality is also more powerful than that featured on the previous model. It’s about five times more efficient than the Instinct 2 feature.
