Hamilton Jazzmaster 37mm HONEST REVIEW - 4 Years of Ownership

[@yacovmitchenko1490]

Great-looking watch. Hard to find the 37mm one, though. The 40 mm version is the one being sold nowadays. It's less satisfying because (a) it doesn't suit my small wrist and (b) the date indicator disrupts the symmetry, cutting into the circle. Your date indicator does not.

[@giangvu7902]

Yes these watches are very good and durable. Mine is more than 6 years old and still going strong.

[@oakleyjack7600]

You should get a nice vintage watch in the 34-35-36mm range I have a 7.5 inch wrist and have several 42mm watches but I came upon a 34mm vintage 1968 Hamilton thin line in perfect condition for cheap and love the size, weight and thinness. I lose a minute a day but it is no problem to wind and reset in the mornings. You can also find quality vintage on eBay serviced and ready to go in the 100 to $200 range, just be sure to check the sellers feedback before you buy.

This is in my day to day rotation...great piece

5:35 there are two types of cheap leather. The one you talked about is bonded leather, the leftover scraps mixed together with chemical. There's also corrected leather, which is the shaved bottom part of the leather, the top grain is more durable, has more texture, and more expensive.

[@sneezingcat9446]

Just got mine today. It is wonderful. Look much better in real life

[@amritdhaliwal3413]

Great review & good shots of the watch. As I'm considering this watch I really appreciate the in-depth honest review, thanks!

[@spyknife]

Saving up for a grand seiko now. Spring drive looks amazing

[@scottsodyssey2485]

Great review , Ive been considering this model. Thanks for the insight! Happy Holidays.

[@paperback10]

I have larger hands than you and I really have no problems using the winding crown. Many watch nerds like myself much prefer automatic watches with both hacking and hand winding, like this one, because you can set the time exactly and keep the movement properly powered. Nice review and pictures, thanks!

[@timyoungnc]

Wish Hamilton still made this in 37 or 38mm. Still tempted to go for the 40mm.

[@LinhTran-gf5yv]

40 Avail only

[@chadkoz]

Actually just bought this Thanks for the insight. This was a great video

[@williamdavis8910]

The ita 2824 😅 E T A this was a good video .. the hacking is really intrestresting , it was used to synchronize watches . Hamiltons are wonderful watches , very underrated. The ETA movements are movements they out in alot of higher end watches , even Omega uses versions , cant go wrong with a hamilton , especially if you buy one used , they keep their value pretty well

[@spyknife]

Amazing watch considering the price range. Also this has lume! Very rare for decent looking dress watches to have lume

[@BeKam777]

Hello, could you do an update video on this watch? I’m curious to find out how it’s holding up after all these years. Thanks for this great review!

[@spyknife]

Problem I found with this is the date. Have to correct the date every other day and wind it 20 times daily

[@spyknife]

2023 costs around £500 to £600 . I recently bought one

[@mrbacchus6127]

Didn't know this came in 37mm

[@icecreamforcrowhurst]

Good review. Good observation about ratio of lugs, I was trying to figure out what it was that seemed 'off' about the design.

[@kylestewart4444]

I’m considering buying this as my first watch. I’m much more drawn to a lot of minimalist dress watches than I am to field watches, divers or chronos just because they seem very busy for my taste and this model seems like a somewhat dressy watch that would never look out of place in a casual setting. I love the styling of dress watches but I very rarely dress in such a manner that would really call for a full on dress watch. However, I would think you could basically dress almost any watch down with clever use of different straps. I know you really like this watch but what I’m wondering is if you were in the market today for a watch which would fill the same role as this one - a somewhat dressy yet mostly casual every day watch - and you didn’t already own this one, is there another option you would go for before choosing this one? Basically, is there anything out there right now in the $400-700 range that you would prefer over this watch? I’ve been going back and forth between Junghans, a few different Hamilton’s and perhaps a couple of Tissot offerings but I’m fairly sure I’ll end up with either a Hamilton or a Junghans. I’ve even looked at a few Frederique Constant watches but I haven’t really landed on an opinion about those yet. Sorry for being so long winded. I just enjoy hearing from people with several years of experience with a product rather than someone who spent three days with it and sold it to buy something else to review.

[@diegovillacreses7071]

Kyle Stewart take also in consideration Seiko’s SARB and SARX series

[@DutchBulldog]

Which watch did you end up getting?

[@villebergvall8624]

Yeah, what watch did you end up getting?

[@kylestewart4444]

I actually ended up buying a Mido “Baroncelli Heritage” for my first dress watch and then I pretty much immediately got into divers and field watches. I did really like the Mido and I kept it for a while but I’m not someone who wears suits very often so dress watches aren’t really a priority for me. Right now, my number 1 go-to is my Ginault Ocean Rover II. Freaking love this thing.

[@villebergvall8624]

@@kylestewart4444 thanks for the answer! Three years after the original comment haha. Fine pieces!

[@jamison74]

The power reserve rating on the eta 2824-2 is 38hrs not 48hrs, but how would wearing it to bed while sleeping help you from having to wind it in the morning? Even if you thrash about for most of the night it would most likely still need to be wound as most automatic watches use the rotor as supplemental supply to hand winding.

[@garrettthompson558]

Yo... 10mm is fucking smooth, as far as thickness goes. ESPECIALLY for an automatic. Maybe you'd be happy with some models INVICTA offers....

[@MrDoggerDog]

Lug to lug is different, actually. If you remove the band, and leave the lugs in the case, then measure the distance between the lugs, then subtract one of the lug's diameters, that's lug-to-lug. Basically you're measuring from the center of the drilled hole in the case on one side to the center of the hole in the case on the other side. By subtracting one lug's diameter from the measurement, you're subtracting one half the diameter of each lug in one computation (0.5 x 2 = 1). So it's probably a little bit shorter than what you specified, unless you were directly quoting Hamilton's stated specs (couldn't tell if you did this yourself with a caliper, or just reciting what they published).

[@abhisheksanyal1324]

Great review. Have you found a metal bracelet (with curved end links) for it? Thanks.

[@kylestewart4444]

So “genuine leather” is similar to something like MDF or particle board.

[@ForlornFreddy]

Yes, genuine leather is the lowest grade of leather.

[@mrrishibhatia]

The new ones dont have the blue hands as well. oh well. I was going to get it but i want the blue hands.

Great video! Where did you buy the after market clasp from?

[@CheshireCat8]

これ買っちゃったです！届くの楽しみ

[@JanaBanana1212]

why did you bang your watch against your bed frame?

[@MrThepinkeagle]

😏

[@yoyo19831983]

Hahhaha

[@TechGuy893]

wow this costs around $1200 CAD now

[@Unfinished_sentenc]

Hi Coco Jay, liked and subscribed! Awesome videos. Professional advice? Is the 42mm Jazzmaster quartz too tall for my 6” wrist? I wear a 40mm IWC Aquatimer 3548 daily and it fits perfect.

[@jp4431]

Absolutely. It's a dress watch. My wrists are 6.5" and they're a flat too. Any dress watch that's 40mm or above wears like a casual watch. A 42mm dress watch just makes me look like a clown. For 6" wrists, honestly stick with 38mm or below for a dress watch.

[@davidalvarez5929]

I have a 7 inch wrist and i dont go bigger than 40.

[@Shino2600]

Fantastic review ... I love this design but the lug to lug is also concerning... just a classy and all around design. Looking at this vs a Carrera in white

[@MrThepinkeagle]

Thanks a lot! Which model Carrera were you thinking?

[@Shino2600]

Coco Jay picked up Carrera Calibre 5 in white pre owned 38mm

[@AbhitejSidhu]

hey , nice video, is it a domed crystal?

[@MrThepinkeagle]

To my eye it does have a very slight dome shape!

[@albertcalvoporcel7489]

Very nice review sir! I've just ordered a Jazzmaster Viewmatic myself, and since I do also have a very thin and small wrist, do you think I'll be fine with the standard strap? Does it fit any better with the deployant buckle? Thanks :)

[@MrThepinkeagle]

Hey Albert, thanks! The standard strap I think is pretty good for small wrists. I found that the deployant buckle made the whole thing a bit bigger, maybe half a size up. Cheers!

[@HaleyBugee]

1:42 😫😫😫

[@the_9ent]

Bonded leather is made from scraps. Not genuine leather.

[@Bob-Horse]

I thought this was a 40mm size (in 2020), but maybe they have changed since you recorded this?

[@jessd1952]

Apparently they got a little larger, a little more waterproof, and a little more money.

[@juricamaric]

Do you think this watch would be suitable for ladies?

[@MrThepinkeagle]

Size-wise, there shouldn't be any issue. The design cues are not overtly masculine either. As always, the most important thing is to wear what you like!

[@TheNYCFreshPrince]

My rotor doesn't move on its own anymore and the I can't wind it manually its stuck.

[@DjVader112]

[@hendri-6341]

DATE: JUNE 16, 2022 TIME: 10:09PM BACK IN 2012, I GAVE THE LESS FORTUNATE FLORENTINO S. SUSALO III A HAMILTON WATCH, HE DOESN'T HAVE PARENTS ANYMORE, I PITY THE LESS FORTUNATE FLORENTINO S. SUSALO III THAT HE WAS DESPICED FROM THE BEGINNING. THE HAMILTON WATCH, IT'S SWISS PRECISION, I BOUGHT THIS WITH MY HARD-EARNED SALARY FROM UNITED AIRLINES, I'M NICE LIKE SERENA VANDERWOODSEN FROM THE BEGINNING. FLORENTINO S. SUSALO WAS TREATED LIKE TRASH. HOW UNKIND. I'M THE ONE WHO HAS PITY FOR THE LESS FORTUNATE FLORENTINO S. SUSALO III. HOW RUDE HE WAS DESPICED FROM THE BEGINNING BECAUSE HE IS A LESS FORTUNATE. HOW RUDE! GLAD, HE GOT MARRIED BACK IN 2018, HE WON'T FEEL EMBARRASSED ANYMORE. TIME: 10:04PM

[@gadingkinara7588]

what strap are you using/

[@qdoan17]

The brown strap that he's using is the original strap that comes with the watch.

[@Unfinished_sentenc]

Just got my Jazzmaster 42mm and am definitely ordering a Hirsch with deployment buckle. The original strap looks too cheap for such a nice timepiece, tbh.

[@JanaBanana1212]

Thank god I now know everything about a $600 men's watch! Look at all the time you saved me!
