“The problem? Something is terribly wrong with the movement. I put it on my timegrapher as soon as I got it and the reading was a trainwreck. Unfortunately this is going to have to go back.”

“I thought the 38mm was a bit small as well. I purchased the dark green dial version and immediately put a green nato strap on it. This made it look bigger”
“I wear my khaki dailed mechanical to some extent as a contrast to the larger watches in my collection It doesn't look out of place in contrast and doesn't look that small”
“Sadly, I must report my pvd khaki died...it was babied and never left the house...after 10 months, one day I heard a "pop" while winding (did not overwind it).”
“Yes, it's correct that the accuracy + / - 2 seconds/day, and I also noticed that it has long power reserve (which I found is really good!).”
“It is manual wind with an 80-hour power reserve, and I really like that aspect of the watch. And while I usually prefer slightly larger watches the size is just right.”
“I bought a used Khaki Field Mechanical 38, kind of the most basic black dial version they have. I didn't like it, and found it pretty boring.”
“Swimming, harvesting wood, moving pallets 12 hours a day in a warehouse, subzero weather, my watch didn't care.”
“Great watch! I love mine. I own the black dial version. I am not exaggerating when I say it runs better than watches I have owned costing twenty times as much.”
“Long lugs for the case size (I believe 47mm). I can’t wear mine on a two-piece strap because it leaves an obnoxious air gap.”
“It is a really cool watch though I may pick up another one in the future when it’s more readily available”
“I agree with all of your sentiments. I've had a lot of Hamiltons over the years and this has to be one of my favorites. I love the domed sapphire, overall size, blasted case, manual wind, and drilled lugs.”
“I had one but resold it because of the very long lugs. It wasn't comfortable on the wrist (I got an 8"/20cm wrist).”
“It's better than some other Hamiltons i've had but not as strong as a tipical Seiko diver either.”
“I too own this watch albeit the green version and I love it, not just because of its value/brand history etc but just how comfortable it is to wear.”
“the movement can be overwound and break. Only handwind movement I ever broke. And I've broken it twice”
“I agree about the lume, my Khaki field doesn't last very long either.”
“It's a great watch, keeps time better than its more pricey Elabor counterparts. And looks great with any canvas/nato/zulu strap to boot”
“I'm fairly certain this issue with the Hamilton H50 failure is due to a change of quality of parts.”
“But this is probably the best pure field watch out there.”
“Perfect size for my 7” wrist (phone camera makes it look like there’s lug overhang but there’s really not); I love how thin it is too.”
“Well made, excellent QC, overpriced at MSRP, ZERO AR coating and crappy lume.”
“Except the part about 5 seconds a day. I'm at 14”
“Overall it has become my most worn watch of my little collection, on an Erika’s original strap. I enjoy the historical vibes, the excellent timekeeping, winding it up and it doesn’t look terrible with a few dings and scratches.”
“Tried on a 38mm in an AD and found it too small”
“If you like the Hamilton , get the Hamilton . Anything else is going to be not quite right if you have that image in your mind.”
“I have one with H-50 movement and love it!!! It's one of my favorites. I monitored accuracy for 30 days and it runs -2.2 spd.”
“I have a 7.75" wrist and I have no trouble wearing 38mm watches, including the field mech which I've owned for a few years now.”
“This Khaki Field Mechanical has become one of my favorite watches. Value-wise, it is some of my best-spent money.”
“I have one as well. Very nice, good accuracy and build quality for the price, as usual from Hamilton .”
“I have this one with the H-50 movement and I absolutely love it. Runs great and keeps excellent time.”
“I have the Khaki mechanical (green dial) and it fits me well, but i have about a 6 1/2, 6 3/4" wrist.”
“The reasons I switched were the ETA movement, sapphire crystal and manual wind appealed more to me.”
“The dial is dead easy to read even when i'm hiking and i don't have to put my specs on to read it.”
“It has been extremely accurate and reliable, requiring only a new mainspring 3 years ago.”
“I love the Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical. It's the perfect size for my 6.75" wrist.”
“The watch is incredibly legible. You'd have a hard time trying to NOT read the time.”
“I also have one with a white dial and it's one hella watch for its price point.”
“I love mine and have often considered getting a white dial variant as well.”
“Overall, the watch was incredible and I did not regret my purchase at all.”
“great watch, I have the green version from 2015, looks great on a NATO”
“I’ve been wearing my new khaki mechanical daily and I love it.”
“After a few weeks of daily hand-winding it has been just fine.”
“Congrats on an excellent watch and great review. I love mine.”
“I had this exact same watch a few years ago and loved it!”
“I've been wearing mine non stop since I got it as well.”
“I bought a KFM and it is one of my most worn pieces.”
“The perfect field watch? It is a yes from me!”
“My choice was the white dial, no regrets.”
“Lugs were fine on my 6.75ish wrist.”
“It's a great watch, loving mine.”
“I have the same one, love it!”
“I love my Hammy mechanical”
“I love mine.”
