I thought this was the YT algorithm doing its thing because I’d been looking at strap ideas for my Hamilton Khaki Compressor, having recently been rediscovered after two years of neglect in my watch box. Really enjoying the field watch aesthetic as a change from my usual divers. Coincidence! Great video Rob, keep em coming 😊👍🏻
I absolutely love Hamilton's field watches. There's just something special about them. I could own twenty of these. I have this watch on leather (I don't like field watches on bracelets) and it gets a ton of wear. I also have the old school field watch with the camo band. I just don't think anyone can really go wrong with a Hamilton.
I have the field mechanical and wear it at work everyday, I work with my hands and it’s been dropped and banged against pipes and stuff and it’s running +1 second a day. I can’t say enough about these Khaki Field watched
I think I've watched your two videos on this watch about a hundred times. I finally snatched one up from Mimo's using your code. I'd love to see a follow up or anymore info video's you want to do for it. Subscribed and again, thanks for the great video.
Khaki King has been my favorite everyday watch for about 2 years now. SUCH a great watch. I've heard complaints about water resistance, but I don't wear mine in the water. If I'm getting wet, I find it a great excuse to wear a diver.
I have the 38mm, and absolutely love it. But the crystal is basically a mirror, and makes checking the time at a glance impossible. That’s a huge flaw in a field watch. Put some damn AR on the inside, Hamilton!
..it can be used as a shave mirror in field . Because of the domed crystal I'm always capable to read time. Just turn the dial straight or angle it a bit. In a hunt or in a field battle I would choose a black-gshock
Have this very watch and absolitely love it. Just having an impossible time trying to remove the bracelet and tey a keather strap i bought. Have changed numerous ones, just cant get this one removed
I really like this, I can’t decide between this and the “interstellar” model, although I’m leaning towards the latter as it looks so different and has the polished numerics. Great informative upload, thank you.
Whilst I don’t own either, I’d say go for the interstellar one... Not because it’s from my favourite movie or anything haha. Naw but I do love and prefer the look of it in general Edit: Assuming you don’t own one already
I literally was putting my 38mm khaki auto on when I saw this video. Great watch. The only thing that bugged me about the 42mm is the date window gets pushed in, which kind of breaks up the symmetry of the dial. Great watch regardless, and I especially love the slim case design.
@@isaacstewart2979 I have a 6.5 inch wrist, you could easily pull off the 42mm at 7". But the 38mm has long lugs for its size so it wears larger if you're concerned it will be too small.
Can anyone confirm if the stainless steel bracelet is compatible with the leather strap model 42MM? My leather band version has the same case reference number as seen here. Have heard mixed things when calling Hamilton directly.
hey Rob, i have a bit silly question and would like to hear your opinion: i've never had a lot of watches, mostly one at a time. Now i have like 12 but wear only 1-2. I decided to sell the rest but it is hard, as i have some sort of attachment to them (even to the unworn watches). In contrast, you are a serial flipper and have had tons of watches. How do you handle "feelings" towards watches? I can only connect to watches i wear and use, putting some scratches on them, while you might wear them for 1-2 days. thanks in advance!
I maybe wrong person to ask. In 2012 I lost everything material in a house fire. Messed up to say but was actually a good thing. It changed the way I “feel” or think about “things”. They are just that, things. Things don’t really matter. They come and go. I like to have nice things and I like to have new things. So flipper I am.
@@RandomRobReviews dear Rob, thanks for the reply, i appreciate is. it must have been very hard for you back then, can't even imagine. I'm young and sort of an orphan now, so things are the only constant things and they remind meg of certain people, which makes it difficult for me. anyway, i envy every people (in a positive sense) who can stand being attached to things. i'm also grateful to your channel because it helps me flip my watches that i don't wear
3 things. Screw down crown (or at least no moisture getting inside like it keeps happening), antireflective coating, and good lume. Perhaps a lume that doesn't turn green would be nice. Do that and then you have the perfect watch. Found my own version that suits me better that just needs a little better lume, but improves on all of the other things, and a small company which i prefer to support.
In my eternal quest to find the perfect “beater” / everyday watch, this has been on my radar but I have never pulled the trigger due to a lot of reviews saying moister enters the case even with a 100m rating.
I had the same concern for a while. But thankfully my 38-mm is performing really well. It was accidentally flushed under the water when I washed my hands, but no moisture or water got inside.
Crazy story, I just purchased a brand new one last night, ref H70605193 on stainless steel for $281. Original price was $444 and I found a 35% off coupon. Pretty pumped for it to come in.
The 42 is a great modern size. Doesn’t look too small and not bi like a dinner plate. Works for almost all occasions very versatile.

I have the brown dial one with strap and vintage lume. It's amazing: +1 seconds a day and reliable as anything.

Solid choice for those seeking brand history, quality, and value for money at this price bracket.

This is such a classic field watch 😊👍
I have the 38mm size it fits my 175cm wrist perfectly with the bracelet. Just a great watch
I have same watch but with leather band, wear it more than my higher end pieces. I need to order a dark green canvas band.

Love my 42mm khaki ! Wearing it now.
I have the 42mm black dial which I wear on Rios1931 Typhoon strap (black with ivory stitching). It's awesome and I wear it everyday.

Man that watch wears well on wrist...I gotta have it!

I have a Khaki King and a Field Khaki and I keep going back and forth of whether or not I should keep them.
I paid 350 for mine. This watch and my Mido tribute keep better time then my Casio does. The powermatic 80 is amazing.
It's gorgeous

That’s the exact reason I got the 38mm
What's your wrist size? I have a 7 inch wrist and am trying to decide whether i should get the 38 or 42mm.

@@varghejo Thanks!
@@isaacstewart2979 Cheers, mate.
Gotta love a Hammy 👍🏻👍🏻
Why didn’t this have the day date ? I have the 40 mm silver one and it’s amazing. I wouldn’t mind this if it has the day thingy
I have a chocolate dial version, they are good watches well made.
The end links look funny. There should be a step down from the case and the lugs to the end link. Look odd
Bonjour, combien mesure votre poigné ?
Merci
Glycine Combat 6 or this Hamilton? Which u prefer? :)

I really want this but the lack of an AR coating really ruins it for me.

What is your wrist size in cm ? 17cm ?
Big miss on the date placement. Just reusing the 38mm date wheel was lazy of Hamilton. A bigger wheel would have pushed it out to the proper location

So what's the name of the company?
I think islander watch from long island do a fieldwatch with great lume, screw down crown and AR coating
I have never heard of a moisture problem. And why do people insist on screw down crows for non dive watches?
@@DanielBoychuk so you can confidently shower, swim, or jump in the hot tub.
🌹👍👍Nice 👌🌹
Great looking watch but the 38mm would be better for me
funny, i was watching your old video last night. i really like the watch in the 38mm version but just a bit too small for my wrist.
Nonsense, it'll look great on you. 38mm watches look great on everyone.
To each his own I guess. I have the 38mm version and it wears fine on my 7.5in. wrist.
The 42 is great. Look at the video. It wears perfect on a 7.25 or 7.5 wrist.

No moisture problems on mine. And I never heard that when I did my original research.
So many options now a days that fit better! Great watch, but too pricey now a days
What micro brands? They don’t count. No history and many have derivative designs. And seiko suffers poor QC this Hamilton is still the best.
Rob's done so many reviews, he's running out of watches.
Wrong.
