I using GitKraken as Git client. Here I see that, in file history it shows 1 hour ago, yesterday, 4 days ago,etc. Is there a way that I can see date time instead? I can see that in sourceTree.

GitKraken Timelines are designed to show major milestones on a continuous line that represents time. Each milestone is associated with a date and can include goals/tasks, links, and an image. GitKraken Timelines can be created and shared across every department in your company. If you're a new user, you may click to get started.
If you have two commits selected, GitKraken Client shows the difference between the two commits. Additionally, select multiple commit rows in the graph using Shift Click to show its merged diff: Hunk view will show the diff as blocks, without the context of the rest of the file. Inline view will show the diff within the context of the entire file.
To add an anotation, select + Create Annotation. You can give the annotation a Title, select the color, and specify the date range. Click the annotation to edit or delete it. You can manage your account or sign out of GitKraken Timelines by selecting your profile in the top left in GitKraken Client.
To access either option, click to view the file diff and the options will appear in the upper right. You may also click on a commit in the graph and then right click a file to access File History or File Blame. File History shows that file’s commit history on the left. File Blame will color code the commit author of each line or hunk.
Is there a way that I can see date time instead?
tl;dr: No, since it does not fit GitKrakens slim visual approach.
There is no feature to switch to absolute times, as far as I know. And it wouldn't really meet the purpose here: in SourceTree, you have a list (more like a table) of commits, each with id, author, message and time stamp shown.
GitKraken, following a more visual approach, focuses on the graph and the commit messages, but groups the commits in the graph by time period. There would be no point in showing a concrete date, since it would only show the date for a single commit, but not group commits by time periods. It would have to be shown for every commit separately, leading to a more table-like view, as it is in SourceTree.
In your example, You would have four timestamps cluttering your graphical repository view instead of a single 3 hours ago, roughly pinning down when the four commits where created.
You can, of course, click a commit in the graph to view its details in the top right, also showing author and commit date times.
