Why We Love This Deal
We’ve spotted a string of primo watch deals lately from Citizen, G-Shock, and other top watch brands, but we just learned about one deal on a highly sought-after Bulova watch that appears to be on another level entirely. One of the brand's classy Series B Marine Star watches recently had its price slashed to under $300.
Bulova’s Marine Star Series B Stainless Steel 6-Hand Chronograph (model 96B256) is on sale for $268 over at Walmart. Although the retailer lists that as a 15% discount, this watch normally retails for $550, which makes the actual markdown a massive 51% drop. That easily beats the price at retailers like Macy’s ($385) and Kohl’s ($440), but Walmart tends to sell out of watches like this quickly. If it goes out of stock, Amazon also has a great deal on it at $281.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Movement: Quartz
- Case Material: Stainless steel
- Case Size: 43mm
- Lens: Mineral crystal
- Water Resistance Rating: 100 meters
This model is part of Bulova’s Marine Star collection, a grouping of styles that are inspired by classic dive watches. Accordingly, all Marine Star watches feature at least a 100-meter water-resistance rating, so you can swim with them without causing issues.
With its reliable quartz movement, the Marine Star Series B is a perfect daily driver watch, but its 44mm stainless steel case and navy blue dial give it a really handsome aesthetic that dresses up well (it’ll look great with a dark blue suit). The watch features a chronograph complication, so you can use it like a stopwatch via the pushers on the side of the case, and the subdials and large second hand help you track elapsed time. A date window at 4:30 helps you track your calendar, too.
In addition to its beautiful navy blue color, the dial showcases bright white hands and markers (they’ll glow in the dark for easier nighttime legibility), and the dial is topped with hardy mineral crystal glass. A matching stainless steel bracelet seals the deal and gives this watch an upscale, dressy aesthetic.

We’ve seen on-sale men’s watches sell out lightning fast at Walmart, so don’t snooze on this incredible 51% discount on the Bulova Marine Star Series B. With its stylish design, accurate movement, and surprisingly affordable price tag, you won’t regret adding this timepiece to your collection.
