Grade 2 titanium is more pure than grade 5. In fact it is known as pure titanium. Grade 5 is a titanium alloy, consisting of 90% titanium and the rest in other alloys to give it more strength.
Very nice. Been fixing on buying a Hammy for a while. Man those defects would drive me crazy too and I would’ve done everything I could to send it back for a better one. It is your hard-earned money, after all.
Really enjoyed your video. There are plenty of technical reviews of watches on the internet. I appreciate the practical, experiential review. I bought this watch as my first "grown-up" watch very recently. The reasons I chose it are exactly the reasons you chose it. That being said, we're on opposite ends of the spectrum. I personally think bracelets make a watch look too dressy, and as I use mine on a daily basis, I prefer a strap. Not a big fan of the green strap it came with. It kind of feels like velour, so I replaced it with a standard brown leather strap and like it just fine. I agree with you on the lume. You'll get about 15 minutes out of it. But as I'm not a vampire, that isn't a dealbreaker for me. One thing I would change is the lack of anti-reflective coating on the crystal. The glare is really noticeable outdoors, but even causes some problems when using indoor light. One point of clarification - Pennsylvania is a state. The city Hamilton started in is Lancaster, which is a city in the south-central part of Pennsylvania. An interesting note - The National Clock and Watch Museum is located in Columbia, PA, which is about 10 miles from Lancaster. Coincidence? I don't know. Maybe.
I bought the model on the green strap, it’s wears very nicely and weight. The numbers are a light green lume which goes well with the strap color but it’s difficult to see the numbers in low light, probably because there is no anti reflective coating, probably the number one criticism of this watch. Definitely not very good lume but everyone who collects watches needs a field watch. -8 seconds per day.
Seems like a very cool watch. We're going to need a state of the collection video soon bud. You have I think the CW 12, Smiths explorer, Omega Seamaster ?
Had one of these in a different color. Loved the watch but it got stolen. I probably won’t be replacing it due to the no anti - reflective coating making the watch hard to read.
Grade 2 is no where near as scratch resistant as grade 5. Its a shame Hamilton don’t use 5 but I have know idea how much the watch would go up in cost either. If it meant say a 150-200 dollar increase I think it would be well worth it. And god knows why they don’t have any anti reflective coating on the inside of the crystal. I love this watch though it’s near perfect.
Titanium for light weight. Khaki field 38 mm for me is very light . Make it lighter makes it undesirable. I want to feel my watch and feel the presence of it on my wrist.
Poor quality control. Misaligned hands. No anti reflective coating. Ugly green color on the markers and hands. Extremely overpriced. This watch sucks. This brand sucks. Hard pass.
I’ve had 6 different Hamiltons and never had a quality control issue. Agree it would be nice for some AR coating on the underside of the crystal. All the Khaki’s suffer from this oversight. That said, these are an awesome value. I have a 6 year old Khaki Auto 38 that still runs at +1 second per day and has never been serviced. Nowhere near the same finishing, but practical performance is on par with my Omega Aqua Terra which cost 10x the price. Can’t really go wrong with a mechanical watch from the Swatch group.

The reference number for the bracelet for the 38mm case is H695000015 vs H695000017 for the 42mm.
How do you order the bracelet ?
Did u ever find this out?@@gerrardmatonti5432
i like your channel, not sure how you came into my feed, but I dig what you're doing. keep going
Titanium watches are very subdued pieces, I love that about them. You won't get the attention from the wrong people. Great review!!!
hey from ireland,really enjoy your watch videos,hope your channels really takes off,thanks man.
Grade 2 titanium is more pure than grade 5. In fact it is known as pure titanium. Grade 5 is a titanium alloy, consisting of 90% titanium and the rest in other alloys to give it more strength.
biggest let down of being outdoor watch I think is missing AR coating.

I love the Hamilton Khaki Field. Really want to get one in the next few years
Overall it looks clean. I like the brushed bezel.
Seems like a very cool watch.

You can get the hands realigned by a watchmaker
They will become misaligned again. Low quality poorly made movement. Junk
@Ferien7 are you speaking from experience here. I highly doubt the hands will misalign after a realignment.
Thanks for the vid. How accurate is the timing?
Thanks for the video! I wonder if the bracelet is fitted to the 38mm if purchased as an original set.
Send it in to align the hands. No swiss watch should be misaligned
Nice review!!! Thank you!
Hi there! Nice video... Where did you buy the bracelet? I'm having trouble finding a provider. Thanks!
I called swatch parts directly and ordered over a phone call
Had one of these in a different color. Loved the watch but it got stolen. I probably won’t be replacing it due to the no anti - reflective coating making the watch hard to read.
Same. I got rid of every Hamilton I’ve owned because of their crystals.. couldn’t even read the thing.
I'd send that back to Hamilton to fix. The hands and bracelet should all line up.
What’s the part number on the bracelet I would like to prefer one for my Hamilton
why does this model not have the date like the other khaki fled?
The crown .. screw down ?
That’s quite disappointing that the hour hand was misaligned. Especially for a watch at this price range. Good video. Thanks!!
Hamilton’s Achilles heal - those super reflective crystals 🤢
Has anyone figured out how to order the titanium bracelet?
Email the head office in your country and they will order a bracelet to your watch specs.
If you buy a watch that has a flaw that makes you so mad you just put it in the watch box so you never have to look at it... maybe return it?
Any watch fixer can sort out that allignment issue witin a few minutes. Itàs an easy fix.
Misalignment is hard to acceptable for Swiss made
Keep making videos
Grade 2 is no where near as scratch resistant as grade 5. Its a shame Hamilton don’t use 5 but I have know idea how much the watch would go up in cost either.

Hamilton field watches should be nicknamed the GLARE Collection. This company has a problem with using AR. So sad.
Too much glare
Grade 2 titanium not as pure as Grade 5 - you clearly don't know what you're talking about. Also, your mustache looks ridiculous
Poor quality control. Misaligned hands. No anti reflective coating. Ugly green color on the markers and hands. Extremely overpriced. This watch sucks. This brand sucks. Hard pass.
