I've owned this watch for over a year. I bought it secondhand from a pawnbrokers and have been delighted with the performance and had no issues with visibility or excessive reflections in bright light. The movement maintains an exceptional timekeeping, which more than justifies its existence.

The reflection doesn’t bother me at all. I have the 38 with bracelet. I LOVE it.

Just saw one at winners in Saskatchewan for $599. Had a nylon double pin clasp strap and it was in the darker type of olive green. Pretty nice beautiful case back.

Those ETA movements last 15-20 years before they need service, my Tissot from 2003 had the ETA

Hey!!! So glad to find a Canadian watch reviewer. Keep up the great work.

Thanks for the video. This watch was my very first Swiss watch at the beginning of my collecting journey, in 2016. It's been a fantastically reliable watch and for the longest while it was my daily driver. Subscribed to get you on your 1K journey too. Best of luck.

This is my first serious watch and over many years it is still in my collection.

A special watch indeed for all kinda of watch enthusiasts / collectors.

Imo one of the best watches ever. I have the same one. I own more expensive pieces, but this thing is a beast. Water resistance, sapphire crystal, design, and brand heritage. Can’t beat it.

no AR means minimal scratching. it's an overall benefit for the long run.

I have this watch on the steel bracelet for well over a year as my daily. It’s been on my wrist cycling, hiking, hunting and at my job. Loses about 4 seconds a day and I love it. For more formal events I throw on a black leather with white stitching strap from Barton straps co. This watch looks amazing on a black strap. A lot of complaints about the lack of AR coating. I use my watch for what it was made for, as an adventure everyday do it all watch and any reflections never prevented me from seeing the time at a glance in the real world. If anything it shows that I have a high quality timepiece.

My crystal broke on a hard tile floor...replacement is $45 plus what your watchmaker charges. You can find an acrylic for $5 and works pretty well, less reflection and good distortion if you find it domed..

[squaaa]

Lol im in college and kinda broke but said f it and bought this for my dad. Were both a-holes at times, especially to each other but i love him always. No matter what. I hope this serves as a good reminder of that❤

best user review of the Khaki on youtube

Reflective makes for a great spy watch or just discretely checking for who is approaching behind you 🤣

😀Good video without boring specifications.
I think Hamilton installs non AR crystal on purpose, bc with mirror polished bezel the watch catches more attention and is not really meant to be a field watch but every day for all occasions watch. It's my favorite and I own both 42 and 38mm versions. For a field watch, I'd go for a titanium version even though has the same crystal 😁

I have worn this watch for almost 10 years now. Mine is an older version that has the brown leather strap with beige stitching as well as an ETA-2824 that has the higher beat rate. Still looks amazing. Not too beat up, strap definitely shows a little wear but still nice, like new as far as the dial and crystal goes. Still keeps great time, will take her in for a service soon. Bought it for less than $400 back then

Rolex Submariner doesn’t have AR coating as well

Interestingly, I wasn’t initially drawn to this watch from photos or videos. I actually went to the store to check out the Murph in 38mm, but the sales associate mentioned they only had the 42mm in stock. They did, however, have a few Khaki Field autos in 38mm and offered to let me try one on. Once I saw it in person, I realized it looked so much better than it does online. I ended up buying it on the spot, and I couldn’t be happier with it.

Edit: I got it with the Leather strap and it's lowkey very hot garbage, been wearing it with a NATO but I do want to eventually pick up the OEM bracelet.

People forget it doesn’t have AR coating because it’s a field watch so Incase you’re lost you can use it as a signal by reflecting the light.

I flipped mine the dial is just too busy . It was a good watch . I have the 38 mm Hamilton Murph watch now . Same H10 movement. It'd very accurate

[nickedmunds]

I love my khaki Hamilton, it's so accurate all the time!
