Hamilton Watch Company
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Hamilton would be my recommendation, but that’s just my personal preference. Lots of options in the ~$500 range.
- My take is that Hamilton owns the field watch crown for a few reasons: 1. Value: the finishing on khaki fields is top notch, just a notch below IWC, but a small one. 2. Heritage: Hamilton perfected the field watch through their experienc...
- Some popular entry brands are Timex, Seiko, Orient, Hamilton, Tissot, but there are plenty more
- If you’re not looking to spend too much and want something with good value for money in a reasonable price range, Hamilton or Tissot are solid choices.
- Good value: Tissot, Hamilton ("This is enough")
Cons
- My point is these guys aren’t palatable and don’t give a self congratulatory warm fuzzy feeling inside like watching Hamilton does.
- Normally I don't really enjoy Hamiltons.. but this is incredible. Have fun getting lost in that quicksilver dial
- It appears that every starting/budget-conscious collector is told to add Timex, Seiko, Tissot, Hamilton, Orient watches to their watch box.
- Well, it’s the same ratio as if someone worth 100k wears a Hamilton.
- Not a fan of the hame or the watch, but glad they tried something different.
