Operating Your Watch
Basic Timekeeping
Your Bulova 98A150 watch displays hours, minutes, and seconds. Once the time is set, the watch will operate continuously. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in to maintain water resistance and proper function.
Second Hand Function
The watch features a prominent second hand for precise time measurement. This hand moves in a continuous sweep, indicating the seconds.
Maintenance and Care
Cleaning
To clean your watch, wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth. For metal bracelets, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Water Resistance
Your Bulova watch has a specific water resistance rating. This rating indicates the level of water exposure the watch can withstand. Always refer to the water resistance chart below and avoid exceeding the specified limits. Do not operate the crown or pushers when the watch is wet.

Battery Replacement
When the watch battery needs replacement, it is highly recommended to take it to an authorized Bulova service center or a professional watchmaker. This ensures the correct battery type is used and the watch's water resistance is maintained.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues
- Watch not running: Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If the watch is quartz, the battery may need replacement.
- Time is incorrect: Reset the time as described in the 'Initial Time Setting' section. Ensure the crown is securely pushed in afterward.
- Condensation under crystal: This may indicate a loss of water resistance. Avoid further water exposure and seek professional service immediately.
