Fears Garrick (White)vsHamilton Khaki Field Pioneer Automatique

The Fears Garrick (White) is noted for its curvaceous 42mm polished 904L steel case, measuring 10mm thick, and its Old English White dial featuring applied numerals and blued hands. Its Garrick UT-G04 in-house movement, visible through the caseback with hand-finished detailing, operates at 18,000vph and offers a 45-hour power reserve, regulated to +5 seconds per day. The watch includes a 100m water resistance rating and is produced in limited annual quantities. On balance, reviewers highlight the Garrick (White)'s distinctive case design and in-house movement as key attributes.

Owners widely report the bracelet quality is a notable drawback for the price, and some find the dial basic and lacking legibility due to the absence of AR coating. However, the Hamilton Khaki Field Pioneer Automatique is praised for its accurate movement featuring an 80-hour power reserve, and its lug-to-lug dimension is noted as near-perfect for smaller wrists. The inclusion of a 24-hour scale is appreciated. Overall, owners find the Hamilton Khaki Field Pioneer Automatique to be just okay for its asking price new, with the movement's performance being a key positive aspect.
