Interesting release from Christopher Ward. 39mm thermo-quartz accurate to +-10s annually puts it into GS territory, but it's 550 on strap and 715 on bracelet.

I would prefer a 3 hand but I'd like to see more of this as a cut price GS alternative, would be fantastic as a grab and go .

£550 on the canvas web strap or £675 on the Bader (oyster style) bracelet. If you’ve ever handled a CW you’ll know that’s great value. I’m not bothered about the military thing but I fairness their watches are approved by the MoD to carry the military insignia. Would make a great value good quality grab and go. I don’t like chronos myself but if they did something similar with the Sandhurst field watch I’d be all over it.

The "officially approved by HMAF" leaves me a bit cold. MoD have a marketing department and sell the rights to companies to use military branding...they sell the brand to anything from Action Men to clothing. I can't speak for Sandhurst, but I don't have particularly fond memories of my time at Cranwell!
