What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Serica Ref. 6190 Field Chronometer

Owners widely praise the Serica Ref. 6190 Field Chronometer for its refined dials and slimmer case, with one owner calling the black dial the "blackest of blacks" and another finding it not top-heavy. The COSC-certified automatic movement is noted, and the Bonklip bracelet is described by one owner as the most comfortable they have ever experienced. However, one owner found the 9 o'clock crown undesirable and noted a ding on the bezel, while another owner found the Bonklip bracelet too small for their wrist. The €990 price is a significant increase from its predecessor, and some may miss the charm of a manual-winding caliber. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the Serica Ref. 6190 Field Chronometer for its updated design and comfortable bracelet, despite some concerns about the crown placement and price.

Hamilton Khaki Field Expedition Auto

The Hamilton Khaki Field Expedition Auto is widely praised for its value, robust build, and versatility as a "Go Anywhere, Do Anything" timepiece. Owners and reviewers highlight the H-10 movement's 80-hour power reserve and accurate timekeeping, with figures ranging from +4 seconds per day to within COSC parameters. Its legibility is a consistent strength, featuring clear Arabic numerals and Super-LumiNova, and wearability is noted as excellent, especially in the 37mm size. The brushed steel case and compass bezel contribute to its tool-like appeal. However, some owners report water ingress issues due to the non-screw-down crown, and the practical utility of the compass bezel is questioned by reviewers, though it adds to the watch's aesthetic. Some find the OEM leather straps uncomfortable. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Hamilton Khaki Field Expedition Auto highly for its superb value and robust, versatile design.
