The Hammy Khaki is a Awesome piece. I wear mine all the time to. Love the pwr reserve. And just looks good with everything!! Thanks for the feedback very much appreciated. Enjoy and wear in good health
Hello Jason I also love the 42mm. Its a great choice all the way around. The Hammy K.F. Is just hard to beat!! Thanks for watching and commenting!!👍🏻👍🏻👊🏻⌚
I agree with you on the crown. A watch like this needs a screw down crown. Also, the 13-24 hour printing on the dial is not a gmt feature. There's no way that can be utilized for tracking a second time zone. It's actually for reading military time, it just makes it easier to read in a 24 hour format at a glance.
Nicely done review, Scott! I had the 42 mm variant and agree with all your pros and cons. For me, the thing that made me flip it was the constant battle with reflections on the crystal. It made telling the time waaaaay more difficult than it needs to be. I really would like to see them put some anti-reflective coating on the underside of the crystal, as I haven't read anything from Hamilton stating that it has any at all.
Hello Lee. Hope all is well with you and your family. I would love to see that myself. I'm not ready to flip it yet, but they really should do that to complete this wonderful field watch!👍🏻👊🏻
@@nortoncmd2681 That's what its all about. Watches are so much fun and a very personal choice. Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate that!!👍🏻⌚
I just bought this watch and it’s beautiful! Haven’t had much experience with it but I believe you can mod the watch for AR coating and extra holes for the micro adjust
Great choice! I'm pretty sure you can mod it also. Not sure who to talk to about that. Have mine on all wkend. Its just a classic and fun to wear. Let me know if you mod it, what you did and how you like it. Id be interested in your thoughts. Thanks for watching!👍🏻👊🏻⌚
@@stauffer65 Thanks, I’ve heard on forums that the AR coating can be replaced At Hamilton and a decent watch repair store will be able to drill the extra holes for the micro adjust.. I think I’ll get the AR done as it would improve the watch immensely! Will keep you updated my brother 🙌🏽
@@comeonman7423 hey bud, did you manage to get the AR coating done on this? And what kind of cost will that be? I'm so close to pulling the trigger but the lack of AR is just killing it for me 🤦🏾♂️
@@shazhuss2355 unfortunately not, my local authorised Hamilton watch repair store has said it’s only possible to install if Hamilton make the AR coating for that exact size for another Hamilton model. Otherwise it’s not possible .. I’ve emailed Hamilton but no reply as yet.
actually, i love the lack of AR coating. it makes the watch look much better IMO, and does not affect legibility at all. the only thing i would change would be the see through case back and a screw down crown. if they ever release a model like that i would flip this one and buy it in a heartbeat. it's already almost a perfect watch and gonna stay on my wrist hopefully forever.
You know I have to agree on the ar coating. But most of all the screw down crown. I haven't figured out why they don't do that. It would be such a huge plus. 👍🏻⌚️👊🏻
Hello CB. I can't agree more. It has become by daily wear and I love it. Excellent brand. Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate that!!👍🏻👊🏻⌚
Hi ! I trully hesitate buying this watch. I love it but I'm wondering if it is not a bit overated. Also the lack of AR seems to bother more than one owner. Could you tell me if it is as problematic as they say ? Great video btw man
Hello. I must say I really enjoy wearing this watch. I thought the AR coating would be a big deal and it would be nice if they applied more, but for me it's not bad. Under direct light you will definitely notice it more. Saying all that the 80hr pwr reserve is awesome and quality is great! Yes I would buy another one with no hesitation. Thanks for watching and commenting. If you have any other questions feel free to ask!👍🏻⌚️👊🏻
If I got this watch I'd definitely go to somewhere like Long Island watch or Strap co and spend 50 or 60 bucks to put a ratcheting clasp on it. IMO it's worth the expense for such an ease of life improvement on metal bracelets. I wish more watch companies offered them on their watches that don't cost thousands of dollars.
I can't agree more. They would sell like hot cakes. I live very close the the original Hamilton Factory in Lancaster Pa. I beautiful building. BTW very good stop choices. Strap co. Is one of my favorites!! Thanks for watching!!!👍🏻👊🏻⌚
What clasp were you able to fit on the bracelet for this watch? I haven't been able to determine the size, but the bracelet doesn't seem to have any taper, so I'm guessing a 20mm clasp would work (?)
@@jayeyesacks1604 Check strapsco or alliexpress. I'm sure you'll find something. Naturally if I was going to buy one I'd find out what the bracelet size was and try to find one before I buy.
Thank you ihavenohair1975. It is truly a great watch and am very glad I have one! The Seiko Presage is also a wonderful piece.. Let me know what you decide and how you like it, on either model. I don't think you will be disappointed with either. 👍🏻👍🏻👊🏻 Love my Hammy!
I absolutely agree. I've looked to buy this watch a number of times and have checked it out in person. Why they don't have AR and a screw-down crown is beyond me. Also, I've owned other watches with only two micro-adjustments and I just can't get them to fit me to be comfortable. Those things are enough for me to spend that money on something else. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I totally agree with every statement! That being said, I find myself always going back to it to wear often. The pwr reserve is killer, and I just like the look of the khaki. Thank you very much for commenting. I appreciate it and like to hear what other opinions are. 👍🏻⌚️👊🏻
Hey bro, very nice video and review. I have this watch too and it is my every day go to favorite. I agree that it needs more than 2 micro adjustments. I can't get it to that sweet spot fit with just the 2 holes. Thanks!
Thanks Jeff. I know. Just can't understand why they don't have a few more. It is very hard to find that sweet spot. But like you my everyday favorite brother!!👍🏻👊🏻⌚
If you had to do it over again, would you still buy this one or a different Hamilton field watch? I’m torn between this one and the mechanical 38mm black dial.
Hello Ferien. Good question. This is the 38mm black dial and yes with out a doubt I would buy this watch again. Everything about it works for me. If I truly could change one thing, I would prefer a screw down crown. But so far so good. So hard to beat for the money!!! Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate that! If you decide to take the plunge let me know what you think.👍🏻👊🏻⌚
I use it for everything and haven't had a problem with it yet. I figure it says field watch and thats what I use it for. If you show it more compassion im sure it will last longer. Wearing it as we speak! Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍🏻👊🏻⌚
You shouldn’t play tennis or golf with any automatic movement. They’re all susceptible to the same damage.. nothing inherently wrong with this watches design
That is halarious! I can't agree with you more. Its probably my most worn watch. Another thing I wish was standard, would be a screw down crown. Just makes me feel more secure. Thanks for commenting and watching!!👍🏻👊🏻⌚
Just received mine and noticing that the lugs dont sit flush with the bracelet linkage. Lugs protrude a bit pat that first bracelet link is that normal or a misalignment?
What size is your wrist ? I want the 38mm but am afraid it will look too small on me. I would get the 42 but my ocd won’t let me since the spacing of the date window and 24 hr markers gets thrown off !
Absolutely! And they look great. Im sure you won't be disappointed with this one. There are two things I wish they would change. More AR coating and a screw down crown, but I wouldnt let that stop you. A Awesome piece!!👍🏻👊🏻⌚
Good review overall, particularly the pros & cons. It seems the lack of AR coating is the major point here (specially on the black dial versions), and I would also add the lack of serviceability of the powermatic movement. Yet, the performance/price ratio still is remarkable.
Thank you. The AR coating is not at all I totally agree. I never had to have it serviced but I don't think it would to bad at a authorized deal. Time will tell brother! Thank for watching!👍🏻👊🏻⌚
@@stauffer65 even though I like larger watches...I think I am leaning towards the 38mm. Just can't get it out of my head that my smallest similar watch (Seiko SNK809) at 37mm looks a bit small to my eye. Might have to see if I can try the 38mm on somewhere.
@@Conundrum191 That's the way to go, if you can find your local Hammy dealer and try one on. Its a great piece! Let me know what you decided on. Either way I don't think you'll be disappointed!!👍🏻
Oh. Man that is such a personal decision. Its all what you love and it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. Thats what is so cool about watches. Either 1 you pick is cool. Hey chk out my video on the SWC Bunker its cool! Thanks for watching and commenting. Merry Christmas 👍🏻🎄🎅
Powered by Hamilton's exclusive H-10 automatic calibre, it features a valance spring made from magnetic field-resistant NivachronTM to ensure accuracy and reliability. Oh and a Awesome 80 pwr reserve!!! Thanks for commenting!!👍🏻⌚👊🏻
I would say light water sports. The water resistant rating is 164ft. But remember it does not have a screwdown crown. So its kind of up to your comfort level. I would not if I could help it. Thanks for watching and commenting!!👍🏻⌚👊🏻
@@marcosdelima7484 . Yes you are correct. What I was trying to say rather clumsily is that at best they are water resistant to 100ft . Because this model has problem any deeper than 100 ft Max. Partly due the fact that they do not have a screw in crown. Which is silly force watch that is claimed to be water resistant to 330 ft.

Throw a few layers of AR on the crystal, and it’s near perfect. As it stands, I can almost use the crystal to shave.
