If running right the keep great time.
The are not as shock resistant as a regular mechanical watch.
The correct battery is 1.35v, but most people put a 1.55v (because they are easier to find and cheaper.) battery in them, and I believe this can cause problems.

And it is getting a little harder to find people to work on them

Not the correct bracelet, if that is important to you.

Maybe wrong bracelet but certainly correct dial and hands on this tuningfork Bulova Accutron "Astronaut" as worn by test-pilots of the X-15 research program and NASA Mercury astronauts in the 1960s...
