Whether Bulova is producing there own movements, which I think they do, or buying Miyota movements is what you want to find out. My guess is Bulova uses Japanese design and parts assembled in Taiwan- and assembled with quality and with a rather accurate and sturdy movement.

I'm curious so I'll google the details. I think Bulova is a rather interesting timepiece offering value and accuracy and a good lifespan.
Unlike some low quality jewelry the Bulova case and band use as much nickel as more expensive watches.

Also the watch size looks perfect for your wrist.

Thank you for the info, I like it but it's a little heavy. I had ordered the titanium model but received a stainless steel. I like the look of the carbon fiber so I will keep it and get used to the heft. To me that also means sturdiness so I can appreciate it.
