Excellent review! I got my white 37mm on the bracelet, and added the NATO in case I ever wanted to try it. The bracelet is one of the nicest things I've ever owned, I'll probably never swap it out.
Great video & not focusing on the reviewer ! I have two Hamiltons & this looks like a winner, I love natos but this isn’t really a proper NATO strap I would prefer the keepers in brushed stainless. Thev bezel is odd someone hiking would have a decent compass so why not a timer instead ? Good they have finally included AR coating I would have loved to see the 24 hour markings. I like the black dial 😊. Hope to catch more of your videos.
Compass bezels are always fun. I have actually used a dive bezel to do that once, nice to have a bidirectional bezel so you don't have to go 75% of the way around to get north lined up. I like the 37mm white more. The flat white is really nice, and being such a bright color it doesn't look that much smaller than the black 41mm. The only difference I can see is really how big the strap looks on each, and I like how the strap looks a bit larger on the smaller watch, it just looks more planted on your wrist that way.
Hi Barry, they're both nice watches, I could give a good home to either... To me the advantage of the Nato option is the ease of swapping straps and the huge number of alternatives from specialist strap suppliers. These watches have a lot going for them: thanks for this Barry, have a good weekend, LG Bob 🍻
Yeah I out the 2 I'd go for the 37mm also ps normally if there isn't a bezel a watch looks bigger as just imagine without that the dial would be 3/4mm bigger
Great review. New camera and microphone are top notch. Oddly enough for an Oafs opinion, the smaller case size looks better on your wrist. Keepers look too big on the NATO straps though IMHO.
I understand that. However, I think the powermatic 80 is a downgrade from the original eta and they haven't just gone up... But gone up too much. I just don't see them matching the price points any more, not like say, a Sinn 556 for example
Many people think its better than the original ETA2824 because of the power reserve being 80 hours but I honestly prefer the higher beat rate of the original
If it was my own watch I'd a strap fest video were I show it on loads of different straps, but being they are review models I don't want to leave any marks on them
The superluminova is actually very crappy . It is not as bright as the video portrays , and the glow doesn’t last long at all . Reading this watch in the dark is almost impossible .
Ive not tested it though the night but I found if you shine a VU light on them for a few secs and have a very dark bedroom like myself most lume's are enough
Thank you for the great video, I’m in love with the white 37 and will get one very soon 😊
Thanks Sir Let me know what you think of it if you get one

Sometimes just swapping the bracelet or strap can make a world of difference 👍🏻
Bracket looks comfortable but does it feel light to you ?
How is the bracelet?

@@danielhacker1248 Cheers Daniel 👍🏻
Appreciate this review. Thank you for putting it on the timegrapher!
Anytime Sir I always do that now with all my reviews 👍🏻

I'm in complete agreement with you there James 👍🏻

Cheers Bob after watching the video I think I need more practise with my new camera and mic
@@ClickSpringReview It wasn't bad at all actually Barry, it's a lot better than many RUclipsrs manage! 👌
@@ClickSpringReviewCracking work I’d have said.
The white dial and 37mm is perfect for most wrists tbh! The bezel makes it looks bigger than it is!

Like the black dialer 😎👍
You can't go wrong with a black dial
Great review. New camera and microphone are top notch. Oddly enough for an Oafs opinion, the smaller case size looks better on your wrist. Keepers look too big on the NATO straps though IMHO.
Cheers matey interesting point about the keeps , The new camera is much sharper but not as simple to use as the iPhone
Great video. Can't decide between the white and blakc dial.
If you already have some black dial models go with the white one, I prefer it myself
Bought my Murph from firstclasswatches was looking at the white dial for this watch
The white dial is the one I'd go for myself it just looks so sharp 👍🏻
@@ClickSpringReview Totally agree, thinking it match up very nicely with a light grey with white stripe marine national type elastic strap
I like your thinking Sir
@@ClickSpringReview just an update it looks awesome on that strap 😉
@@Raindog-1972 Yep that it but as you say does look good with one
White. 👍🏻
Same here
Great watch! I prefer the 37 on your wrist but video isn’t like real life…
Its true Simon there is no beating having it in your hands
Their prices are now just bonkers imho. Bought a few watches from first class, and can't recommend them enough
All brands are increasing their prices Phil its just the way things are 👍🏻

The black dial is the better one ☝️ the white dial looks a bit tacky
I do like the black hands against the white dial myself but we are all different chap 👍🏻
I have white dial 41mm. My first white dial watch. Love it on my 8” wrist. Crisp indeed! Strap monster too.
If it was my own watch I'd a strap fest video were I show it on loads of different straps, but being they are review models I don't want to leave any marks on them
Black is the best
@@adhila.a2315 I personally like the crispness of the white myself but thats fair enough 👍🏻
You sound like Rishi Sunak
Did I say I have another job 🤔 😀

Lack of proper AR coating is biggest problem on Hamiltons!
These both have AR 👍🏻
Have AR in inner surface.
Yep thats correct 👍🏻
@@ClickSpringReview Apologies I was referring and thinking that it was similar to the wonderful field mechanical.
Thats ok Sir :)
