Hamilton Khaki watch. Analog watches may be superfluous and pointless in an era of phones and smart watches, but I actually really enjoyed learning about horology and researching more about movements and brands, and purchasing a well made time piece was just plain ol' fun.

Watches are amazing, they're one of the last connections to my previous life as a mechanical engineer (software now). JLC, NOMOS, and Zenith are wonderful brands to check out.

I also enjoy Hamilton Watches, I've got the Khaki field automatic, it's great!

Highly rate Hamilton watches, very pleasing to look at when they came into our office when I was working at a watch dealership.

Seconded. I have a Khaki King and I love it. I wear it almost every day I’m working.
