Did I regret buying this $600 Hamilton Field Khaki Auto? Watch Review
Рет қаралды 18,557
Жыл бұрынThe Hamilton Khaki Field is a very popular swiss watch, and there are a lot of versions of this mechanical watch. I decided on one to review and spent $625 on the h70505833 Field Day Date Auto. This review begs the question, am I really into watches? What should have I bought instead? At this point it doesn't matter, but I still go over the dial readability in sunlight and in dark rooms. Show how to set the watch and the day complications, go over strap quality, and case resistance to scratches. Is this watch a good place to start in getting into more expensive watches? Are there better alternatives? Sure. As you know Hamilton is a former US company that moved to Switzerland in 1969 and was sold to the swatch group in 1974. The Swatch group also makes the following brands: ETA, Blancpain, Breguet, Glashütte Original, Harry Winston, Omega, Longines, Tissot, Mido, Hamilton, Certina, and Rado.

This is one of my favourite watches. I haven't been able to purchase it yet, because I'm poor and raising kids... but the best thing about this watch is that it is a perfectly designed "day/date" dial. The numerals aren't awkwardly cut off like on most watches. The proportions and placements are perfect. I will buy one some day... if I can live long enough to see my children grown and still have a penny to my name...

Hamilton is still a good brand but it's not for everyone. Like a person who loves divers or very big watches might not be into most their catalog.

I purchased the Titanium Khaki Field watch a year ago. I love it . The only downside is the strap. So true on the issue that it starts looking dirty quick. I also don't like how reflective the crystal is. The lume is shit. Like - seems barely there. BUT - it's a classy looking watch that - in a more formal situation - looks better on the arm than an iwatch (though I have one of those too). Love your channel - your style is very entertaining. Keep up the great work.

I have a Hamilton Khaki Field - and though I love mine, I think this is the most accurate review I've seen anywhere. The band indeed sucks, the LUME really really sucks, and it's a terrible night watch. And its a little expensive (though I got mine on sale for pretty cheap). I do love that accuracy, that the date immediately flicks over at the stroke of midnight, and the reserve.

That watch is a nice choice. I'm going to get a Hamilton one day, but right now I think I've found my niche in solar watches from Citizen and Casio. Its affordable (although sometimes solar watches can get damn expensive) plus I don't have to worry about that Auto Service 5-8 years from now. Which is good for my budget.😅 I serviced a Seiko a while ago and damn...just DAMN. Not for me. I find I'm loving Protreks and Promasters. Both are GREAT value for the money IMO. My two fav watches at the moment are the Citizen Promaster Skyhawk A-T (snowbirds edition) and the titanium Protrek Prw-60T. I like Gshocks too but I'm finding any watch over 14mm thick is just not me. That eliminates ALLOT of gshocks. 😅 Still even if you end up falling out of love with the Hamilton I'm sure you'll get some nice resale value out of it. Can;t wait to see more watch reviews from you.

Anywho, if you're getting into watches, maybe check it out.

There's a weird thing that happens with luxury watches. When I wear one of my Omegas or other high end watches no one says a word. But if I wear a $100 Seiko 5 I get all sorts of compliments and questions about it. The reason is that a high end watch intimidates the heck of people. They are too scared to say anything if they are unsure if they can afford it. Or if it will make you feel unsafe or uncomfortable talking about it. The other thing is since everyone can afford the Seiko they have been in the store at every mall and seen it in real life so they know and understand it. Only a small percent of people have been through a store that sells Omega, Rolex etc. I feel like your Hamilton is at the beginning of the start of where it's beyond the avg joe and they have no clue about them.

I had a Submariner that kept horrible time stopped working altogether and the cost of servicing was 1200 dollars by the factory so I sold it for 20 times what I paid for it. I had a seamaster that kept great time but I lost it at sea when the strap failed. I had a Speedmater that under warranty went back to the factory three times and the tac needle wouldn’t set to exact 12 o’clock or 0 as it were so I sold that and didn’t take a lose. So I guess the lesson is the higher end luxury collector time pieces have a place but I’m not wealthy and with knives, guns, cars, watches, I like toys but value as well. Value is in the eye of the beholder. I would not be in a position do a destruction test but my guess is 20 Seiko turtles would outlast vis a vis out perform one submariner, and in my experience one would get the job done. Standard and precision movements classic automatic, spring, quartz, electrostatic……if you wear it and keeps time for you and you are happy with viola. As his personal vehicle my dad always drove a Ford Falcon 6 it was his thing. I didn’t get it when I was kid.

There's never a time I'm not checking out what someone is wearing on their wrist and I love to compliment people on their watches. Some people don't care at all they're just wearing whatever watch they had or acquired. Others it makes their day. I had a nice conversation with a guy about his vintage Rolex air King. A watch that definitely flys under the radar (pilot watch pun not intended there lol) he was so stoked I noticed it as it's a watch that the average person doesn't really notice. I've experienced it too. I've got an Invicta that's gotten more compliments than my much nicer pieces lol

@@DavidNefelimSlayer Well I suppose the same can be said about knives and guns. Most people only need a $50 knife and will not understand us who spend more then that. But everyone has their limits to where they are comfortable. For myself when I get to the $300 range on a knife I can no longer use it and I reach for a cheaper knife to cut things. So why bother owning it? For me it's about having good art in my life which I believe enriches it. There's art in everything from watches, knives, cars, and guns. Art makes you feel something to the core of your soul when you look and interact with it. Maybe it's a slight dopamine/ego boost? But I understand why someone can drop $2500+ on a sharp pointy piece of metal. But eventually maybe that form of art no longer "does it for you" and your priorities shift. And that's OK to as IMHO it's a sign that maybe you have grown as a person.

The watch thing is interesting. $600 and some change could have got you a Bulova 1957 Protootype MILSHIPS or less than 400 gets you a lunar pilot. And Hamilton khaki series is interesting too especially those that try to wear them out and share the results. By osmosis I know the hands on your watch are syringe hands or needle hands, I could be wrong but I don’t take stuff that should be fun too seriously. I like watches that just tell the time, no date, calendar stuff, just time most of the time. Longines Legend diver has one for 1000+, so I am going to need to be flush and bored because there are Sieko, Citizens, Casio, Timex, Tissot, Bulova, Luminox, Orient, Stührling…….and like knives that you can hold only two at a time and use one at a time, watches are more varied and interesting now than in any time in history a golden age for toys and make for good content. I know you and metal complex are buddies but that guy is an holistic sedative for me. So keep up the good work. I did notice a watch advertisement on this gig so there ya go….
