Great watch
By E. Jones
I'm a watchmaker, so I see dozens of different watches every week, and from this experience, I feel qualified to make a pronouncement now and again, when I see good design. This watch is very nice, and represents a superb value. Mine has been faithfully ticking away on my wrist for almost a year, and is still keeping near-perfect time, while looking pretty good, despite being subjected to the bumps and scrapes of everyday life. Here are a few reasons why this watch is a good buy:A) it's tough. It's got a solid stainless steel case, and a sapphire crystal. This means that the case won't corrode or rust, either from moisture in the environment, or from sweat. If it gets scratched or dinged, it can be easily refinished, but it's not made of gold or some exotic material, so it doesn't have to be treated with kid gloves. The crystal is slightly domed and flush with the bezel, so it's not only virtually scratchproof, but also unlikely to be shattered unless it's struck head-on. 100 meters of water-resistance is a further bonus -I wouldn't recommend diving, but you could actually swim with this watch, if you had to.B) the ETA 2824 movement is a tried-and-true workhorse, which delivers chronometer-grade accuracy and extremely good reliability, while also having refinements we expect in watches today, like a quickset for the date. Parts will be around for the next hundred years, easily.C) The dial and hands are beautiful and supremely legible, with crisp printing, subtle texturing, and precise, at-a-glance readability. This is important because the primary purpose of a watch is to communicate the time, yet, it's also an item of jewelry which is on the wrist all day long, so it must also look good.D) Aesthetically, the watch is simple, elegant, and functional. It's hard to find a watch which doesn't cost $20,000 that offers a traditional, no-nonsense design. The included leather strap is well-made and durable, and if the watch is to be used extensively outdoors, a bracelet version is available, or a NATO-style strap can be easily and cheaply fitted, which looks great, since this watch is modeled on the original Hamilton watches of WWII, which were worn on canvas.E) "Heritage" is a very subjective thing, but for myself, as an American, I'm proud that my watch says "Hamilton" (traditionally the top-of-the-line American watch.) Nowadays the brand doesn't have the cachet that Rolex or Omega has, but, in point of fact, it keeps time just as well, is just as reliable, and represents an unparalleled value, while still having a name that folks on the street may recognize -and not in the way that they 'recognize' Timex or Citizen.Anyway, I've rambled on long enough, but suffice it to say that I don't think you'll find another watch anywhere for anything close to the price range that is as well-made or good looking (it's a lot better in person than in any online pictures I've seen) and Amazon's price makes it even more of a no-brainer. This watch makes an ideal "everyday" watch, and is available in 38mm and 42mm versions, depending on your taste or the size of your arm.

Simple and just beautiful
By Jesse Cervantes
This is just a simple classic and wonderfully sober design; It's beautiful, precise, accurate and an excellent automatic watch; Definitely worth adding to your collection if you have one, and absolutely worth the price, IMO you get a lot more than what you pay for it, like a Swiss ETA 2824 movement, 25 jewels, good lumen on both the arabic markers and pointers, except for the second hand, no lumen there but who cares, I much rather see that beautiful red pointer, 100m/330ft water resistant, nice robust leather band, screw back display case, sapphire crystal ( although no A.R coating ) no big deal, it gives it a more authentic vintage look, and besides, all you'll see on that dial is the reflection of your smile due to the satisfaction of knowing that you made the right choice. I definitely recommend this watch and I would buy it again in a heart beat.I have to admit I was undecided between the this one the 38 mm and the 42 mm, IMO I don't think you can wrong with either one, and if you want to read an excellent review on this watch go to this link:[....]

Fantastic Watch
By Jeffery Schroeder
I'm writing this review because I couldn't find enough reviews about this watch before I bought it. I was scouring the internet looking at every forum, blog post, or article written about the Hamilton Khaki Field. Now I'm kind of a freak about research, so your mileage may vary. Also I have had this for about 3 months, and it really only leaves my wrist when I get in the shower.Initial Impressions:When I opened the box I was surprised at how nice it was. The packaging is a really sleek black box, with a smaller black box inside of it. The watch looks beautiful sitting in the box, all shiny and new. I love the look of the watch, and it does look even better in real life. Out of the box it needed to be wound up in order to get it working, but that was to be expected. I think I gave it like 10-15 turns, set the time and put it on.The leather strap was pretty stiff at first, and it wasn't really that comfortable. I had to work it around in my hands a bit for a couple days but it has since become very very comfortable. It's a very nice thick leather strap, and I'm very picky about leather products. Overall the stitching on it seems solid enough and I think it will last a long time (hopefully, it looks like an exact replacement from Hamilton is $115).Functionality:The watch just works. Part of the reason I got this was because I wanted a watch that would last forever. I got tired of changing the batteries in an old fossil I had, which looked very dated and out of style. This is automatic, so as long as you're wearing it, it works. I check the time against an online source every once (about once a month) in a while and it only gets off by about 2-3 seconds on average. I don't need it to keep absolutely perfect time, so that is good enough for me. The crown of the watch is very large and easy to operate. Twist it up to wind it (be careful not to over wind it), one pull stop sets the date, 2 pull stops stops the second hand and allows you to set the time. The date automatically changes between 10pm and 2am, so it doesn't actually change right at the midnight marker. This is normal functionality (as it states in the instructions), and you shouldn't try to mess with the date between those time periods as you can damage the internals. This is a very different kind of time piece from what I've been used to (cheap) over the years. I really like that if properly maintained it will work forever, no batteries needed.The Hamilton Khaki Field comes with no nonsense garbage on it. Time and date. No day of the week, no altitude, no stop watch, or any other crap that you think you will NEED but 99.99999% of the time all you really need is to know what time it is. I would rather ditch the noise and just have something that works, and functions how a watch should.Looks:Obviously people say it looks rugged, vintage, old military like. I love it because it looks classic, timeless and simple. This is not a watch that in 20 years I will look back and think, damn why did I get that color, or I wish I would have gotten something else. Black face with white hands make it easy to see, and will go with just about anything. The brown leather band looks really nice and if you treat it (I use Obenauf's Heavy Duty LP) it repels water and sweat from your wrist and keeps the band looking brand new (although it did make the suede on the inside look like it had been worn for years, but at least I know it's protected). Overall I think this design will last me forever. I have too many expensive hobbies already and collecting watches is not something I have the time or money for. Getting one watch that will last me forever and I will never get sick of, was my motivation. And the Hamilton Khaki Field (38mm) fills that role for me.I love the font of the numbers. They are clean and simple, and not roman numerals (which I hate!). I also like that it shows the 24 hour numbers on there as well, not necessary for me but I still like it. The red arrow at the tip of the second hand shows a nice touch of color set against the black and white.The Sapphire Crystal is still as clear and scratch free as when I pulled it out of the box. It picks up smudges and finger prints fairly easily so I just wipe it on my shirt to clean it up. But I knocked it on a metal pole once accidentally while walking around downtown and it didn't leave a mark.Cons:Just some minor things that I don't really mind but think I should mention. The highly polished rim around the crystal is really beautiful looking. I even like it in contrast with the brushed steel of the rest of the watch. But I would ultimately like the brushed steel look all over, as that part doesn't show any scratches, but the polished portion has some minor scratching already. No big deal though, it's a watch and it goes everywhere with me, there is bound to be some wear and tear.The glow in the dark numbers are not very easy to see at night. The hands you can make out easily enough, but the numbers are very dim. I've charged them with a flashlight and they were glowing like crazy but it wears off after like 15 - 20 minutes. It would be better to see the numbers easier at night.The Sapphire Crystal has a slight dome shape that really picks up light. So there is glare on it when you look at it. It could be improved but it doesn't really bother me that much. I haven't had a situation yet where I just couldn't read what time it was.Final Thoughts:Do I regret buying this watch? Not at all. In fact I think I love it a little more each day. Would I recommend this watch to friends and family? You bet. Provided they are willing to spend the money, and are willing to properly maintain it. If you don't want something that will need tune up from a professional every two years, don't get this. I take care of the things I own, even if I'm a little rough on them from time to time. This has held up to me over the past few months of constant wearing. Overall it's a solid, classic looking, beautiful watch and I'm very happy with it.Update 1/14/2013:I just wanted to update this review and let everyone know my impressions after owning/wearing the watch for the past 8 months. It's still a great watch. Of course there are a few scratches on the polished steel parts. But not a single mark on the Sapphire Crystal. The leather has also shown very little wear in that time. I wear this thing every day, the only time I take it off are when I shower (and sometimes I've forgotten take it off and showered with it on!). It still keeps accurate time too. Basically This is exactly what I wanted in a watch.The other thing I've noticed is that nobody complements me on this watch. Nobody really takes notice of it, and if they do, they don't feel the need to say something. Which I personally love. This is quality without flaunting how much you have spent. I buy quality items that last a long time, and I will pay more for that. But I don't buy higher priced items to get noticed. If you want people to notice how beautiful and expensive your watch is, look for something else.
