I have this and am wearing it now. It is a limited edition so costs a lot more than the one on sale recently.

I think the case design is interesting, so is the bracelet. The leather strap it comes with isn't complete trash. It's a good size at 40mm and is quite thin. However, the bracelet has a butterfly clasp which is my least favourite clasp.

The quartz movement is awesome, and is accurate to 5 seconds a month. The sweeping second hand is incredibly smooth.

Of the watches I have with me, it's smoother than a Seiko 6R, a Citizen 90XX, and a GS 9S86.

If you think this one is too expensive, you can get the non LE versions on sale for $350.

  Red dial is the best of the bunch imo.

    That one is nice. I would buy it on sale for $450-500

      Does this come with both the SS and Blue leather bands shown in the images?

        The one in this post does.

        The red dial only has the bracelet: https://starbuy.com.au/bulova-jet-star-mens-watch-96b401/

    Is that the flagship colour (like the limited edition you mean)? I reckon they all look good collectively with no standout winner.

    I knew it wouldn't be the end of these, but still happy with the grey one on leather for 350$ .

      Yeh at almost half price the grey with black leather strap was too good to pass up. I'm still undecided about the legibility vs my blindness.

  This looks amazing, too bad I'm not allowed to buy any more watches. :(

    Same here :(

    If it was below $500, I would consider it for sure :D

  I bought Precisionist Jetstar in red and it is beautiful - much better than the online pics and vids.
  I love it.
