This is my 1st watch over $100. I've bought watches for over $1000 but given them away as gifts for graduations or celebrations. My parents gave me a very nice watch when I started college & it was stolen from me. Because of that I've felt ashamed for decades & thought I don't deserve to own a nice watch. 41 years later I broke down & bought myself this Hamilton. I really like this watch. I wear it everywhere. It lays flat enough under thick winter clothing that I forget I even have it on. It's that comfortable to me. It's actually quite useful at work for timing therm usage. The next watch I give away for a gift will be the same Hamilton Khaki auto I have on.

-6 seconds a day isn't bad? Cmon, for the price that is excellent

Hamilton watches are just so clean. Real soft spot for Hamiltons.

This watch is now, or is becoming, an iconic timepiece. The perfect field watch.

This could definitely be your only watch. Leather strap to dress it up, canvas to dress it down. Perfect size, high quality, great price.

Thank you! For your review. I just bought it yesterday. This is my third watch brand Hamilton. I love Hamilton because it was very good quality in appropriate Swiss watch. Kakhi automatic 38 mm is good size for Asian people. Everything thing is good.but except a little heavy in everyday use. I think if it is Titanium material.It may be perfect watch.

I just re-watched this video and I have had my copy of this watch for a little over a year and a half, so I feel like I can give an intelligent response to you. Let me say off the top that your review is pretty spot on, objectively. Subjectively, we're all entitled to our own preferences of loose versus tight bracelets, drilled or undrilled lug holes, etc. For me, the band was either too loose or too tight for my personal taste, so I put a nice leather strap on it. A Hamilton strap will cost about $150, so I got a different brand. Through-drilled lug holes would be a very nice addition, but I guess Hamilton wanted this watch to be at home with a suit and tie, as well as jeans and a tee shirt. A screw down crown, or some kind of lock down would be great; you wouldn't have to keep checking to see if it was still fully seated while swimming, but I don't wear this watch while I'm in water (especially hot water), so it hasn't been an issue for me. I would love to have a Sinn 556, but they are out of my pension budget.

Love from Germany from a Turkish guy ❤️😁❤️ love this watch soooo much cant wait to offer it

I enjoyed the video! Thought the quality was great. I have this watch on the way and think it will be the perfect everyday watch for me.

I can't BELIEVE I missed this for 4 days! So sorry. I really love the macro. Ya know, I just saw a billboard with a picture of a watch on it. I guess that’s a sign of the times.

Great watch and almost a essential for any watch collection. Truly amazing value and wear ability.

Damnnnnn I heard your voice and straightaway recognised you from Podcastage. Good luck man!!

When I heard that voice it sounded familiar to me and I thought "it sounds like he is the guy from podcastage" and then I looked at your channel name and I was right :D Good video!

one of the best reviews of this watch. Love that your wrist shots dont look very distorted

Just ordered yesterday with leather band can't wait to get my hands on it🙌

You're doing great. Keep it up. Thank you for going with the dark gloves instead of the Mr Belvideres.

I'm a month late! Thank goodness I happened to check the Discord channel! Mics AND watches... my two favorite kit items! Nice job on the review! I like the more casual tone than all those fancy-ass channels.

My Hamilton khaki keeps exceptionally good time. It has the same h10 movement as reviewed and manages to leave my Zenith El primero struggling to compete.

I just got this in 42mm. Awesome watch!

Liked your video presentation, your sinn 556 is a good value for money. Cant say w/ that hkhaki. Seikos military, Orient defenders are other better buys, also those micro brands. My take its another over priced timepiece. Thanks for the video. Happy St. Valentine's day

Very thorough review

I love mine on a nato. You did no justice to this watch with that lume shot! lol With a good charge it’s much brighter. Nice video otherwise. 👍🏾

I went for the 42mm case size version as found the 38 was a tad too small. Good quality, stylish watch with attractive textured black dial, 80 hrs power reserve, pretty good accuracy and robust leather brown strap. Pretty poor lume tbh, but at the price point so be it. My choice for knocking around at home, or venturing out in the countryside.

Hi!, I find the saphire too shinning, don't you feel that as a failure if you noticed that?

Amazing watch. Have it on my wrist right now.

Podcastage-man does watches too? Cool! I just bought this same watch BTW. I plan to swap out the crystal for one with AR coating on the inside, and put it on a C&B nylon strap. But I bought the bracelet copy just in case as I do think it looks good on the stock bracelet.

Relate 100% with you on becoming a bracelet fanatic. I just bought an omega speedmaster reduced and initially hated the bracelet, but now I can’t get enough of it. I see watches with natos and leather straps and they look dull and boring to me now. It was like something just clicked in my brain and I realized that a bracelet on a watch brings out its beauty. I also just purchased this hamilton for my every day watch and came here for validation. I feel like wearing the omega every day is overusing it and wanted to wear something less expensive day to day in case it gets damaged. Thanks for the review!

very good review indeed. thanks for sharing.

The only con for me is no AR coating, so the watch has a rather reflective crystal. Oh and yes screw down crown to get a 200m WR would also be nice.

Bel orologio sobrio e grazioso. Sta bene anche col cinturino in pelle marrone. Hamilton con una storia importante, qualità, e ad un prezzo abbordabile, non si può sbagliare.

Never knew you did these. ACE!

Macro lens looks great!

Would love to see a 556i and a CW C63 Sealander (nom-gmt) compared

I have a Movado classic from the 1940's...

Automatic watches are considered accurate if it deviates +/- 25 seconds per day. Although the Zenith Defy Lab is the most accurate mechanical watch ever made beating at 15Hz deviates by no more than 0.3 seconds per day seems far more accurate than 6 seconds per day, Hamilton's 6 seconds deviation is still pretty damn accurate.

It's a real shame they didnt add the drilled lugs, screw down crown and just do a normal oyster bracelet. With those small details fixed up it really would be the perfect field watch and everyday companion

Liked your review. Very helpful. Would have been even better if you had included the silver dial with the stainless bracelet. I have both, but can't make up my mind. Does the silver make it more dressy and the black more sporty!

Great review! approved by an "earthling"

Good review 👍🏻

hi can you share how to change the bracelet for a strap

Love mine, good review

I got this for black friday 30% off only 450 euros new cant wiat to rock it all the tine

Looks awesome! I think I want one of these for my next watch, and I was just curious, what size is your wrist? :)

Why would you want a screw-down crown on a watch which isn't a diver?

With all those scratches it looks like you do wear it a lot.

Cool

How often do you reset a watch that loses 6 seconds a day? Do you have a limit; when it's one minute behind the actual time? Two? I'm just wondering how analretentive I should be.

the line down the venter links drives me crazy , whyyyyyy would they do this , it makes it look cheap

what is ur wrist size?

How long is your wrist sir?

Maybe I missed this but what is your wrist size?

Ok watch but it’s way too dressy thanks to the polished bezel and ridiculously reflective crystal.

'It's going to be' when?

Great look technically... chill out about the fit though dog, slightly loose is fine LOL

It looks better on the leather strap

ساعة عقيق كبدي أصلي صياغة يديوية ثقيلة سويسرية

Put it on a damn strap ,you will have a bunch of adjustments

Overpriced

Quit whining.
