I've been wearing my Hamilton Khaki pretty much every day for over a year now and can recommend it as a quality timepiece that performs well, looks stylish, and makes you proud to own and wear it. The item I purchased was listed as H64455533 on its Amazon listing and on the invoice. The back of the watch has the number H644550 on it. I don't know if this discrepancy means anything or whether its another representation of the same thing, but it's worth noting. The watch case measures 40mm in diameter, 11.5mm in height and is 19.95mm between the lugs, not 19mm as listed. On the whole, it is relatively compact, light, and unobtrusive. It's comfortable and easy to wear.
I don't think the Amazon retailer selling this watch is an official Hamilton dealer. The instruction manual that comes with the watch states: "The warrantee only comes into force if the warrantee certificate is dated, fully and correctly completed and stamped by an official Hamilton dealer." The official Hamilton international warrantee would be for two years, but my warrantee card was blank. I was fairly certain that this was the case before I bought the watch, so I also purchased a third-party 4-year warrantee. As of June 2019, the watch sold for $327 and the 4-year warrantee was $32. Though I've never had a need for service under warrantee, I think the third-party warrantee was money well spent if you're not buying from an authorized dealer.
The watch can be manually wound though the crown is small and manually winding it is uncomfortable. The watch is also hackable in that you can stop the second hand to set the watch to the exact second. My watch tends to gain one minute every three or four weeks or so. There is also some question as to whether the words "Swiss Made" appear on the face of the watch. The image on Amazon shows the number "333" but my watch has the words "Swiss Made" printed at 6 o'clock. Examine the mechanism with a jeweler's loupe and you'll see the numbers C07641 along with an ETA stamp and V8 AX05. I have not been able to coordinate these numbers with any specific ETA movement.
The Khaki is a field watch. It is not a sport watch and is not designed absorb the shocks of athletic activity. That said, I've worn the watch daily for over a year and have known no compromise in its performance. I appreciate the American heritage, the Swiss manufacturing, and the casual elegance. It's also very practical to have both day and date complications. This is a great watch for the money. Recommended.

Hamilton Khaki King Field Automatic watch review

Amazing watch. Listing is a bit misleading.
The watch is amazing as hell to be blunt about it. It has its issues though cause no watch is perfect.Firstly the listing displays an older Hamilton with the stock ETA movement which has a higher beat rate which means the seconds hand sweep very smoothly. The one I received is the modified “in-house” H-40 movement which has a choppier seconds hand movement. Don’t get me wrong this is technically an upgraded movement because of the crazy 80 hour power reserve, meaning it’ll keep ticking for 80 hours if you aren’t wearing it at all and the accuracy (for a mechanical watch) is the best I have ever used.Another issue is the glass does not have any AR (anti reflective) coating. So it’s close to looking at a mirror. You can still clearly see the time but you can also see everything else.The final issue is the band, it’s nice and matches perfectly with the watch but it’s stiff as hell. Hopefully time will loosen it up but as of now it’s stiff to wear.It may sound like I’m hating on the watch but even with all these issues, I love the watch. Certainly in my top 5. I just want to make sure if you buy this watch you know the major issues that bothered me at least.
