BulovaMen's Octava Automatic Watch

Perfect addition to my collection absolutely love it

I am not convinced it is authentic BULOVA. My gut tells me it is a counterfeit, a knockoff.The only way to tell would be to send to BULOVA for them to inspect it.There is a piece of lint caught on the 3 o'clock indicator.If put the watch to your ear and listen to the winding mechanism while in motion it is quite noisy. At this price point I would expect a smooth spinning mechanism.The bracelet sounds and feels like cheap Chinese junk.

I bought this for my husband and he said he is getting at best 10 hours of battery life. Bulovas website states this watch should last for 42 hours. I contacted the seller and had asked what can be done and they said they could refund $50. How is that solving the problem?? They then claimed they were not sure what else I wanted. Like I want a watch that holds a battery, this should not be an issue with the price I paid for it. They then said I could return the watch and I asked if they could replace it with one that holds the 42 hour battery life and I have not gotten a response back.
