^Gear up your fire team?
I take it the market is teenagers proficient in Klingon who don't tidy their room?
Don’t ask me I like this bit.
We're creating a watch for soldiers, by soldiers. Who is a soldier you ask? A soldier is a person who stands up straight, takes responsibility and doesn't back down from a fight, whether wearing a uniform or not. The Nordic Battlefield Watch is the rugged timepiece that we, the soldiers, want to wear ourselves. Simple and without fancy details, but with reliability and a classic design. The soldiers watch redefined.
Redefined, In what possible way?
Redefined as the perfect watch to go with those shoes that have a compass in the heel.
Appealing to the inner fantasist . . .
F.T.F.A.
Ah! Good old marketing bods, full of it as usual.
“As close as it is possible to get to the exact timepiece favoured by the SAS”
If I were the type of person who found that sort of claim interesting and wanted to buy on the basis that I could own such a watch that has such an affiliation, I’d ask you as the retailer “how do you know?”
If your company, or Traser themselves, couldn’t answer that then I wouldn’t trust the brand if I couldn’t trust the claim.
This watch would sell well IMO if it was marketed on the strengths of its spec and was priced (considerably) lower than £500. There’s no need for the false claims.
I must say I quite like the look of the watch, irrespective of its credentials (or lack thereof) as special forces equipment. And while idly Googling this morning, I came across this nugget, from 2002:

(Andy) McNab has signed a two-year sponsorship deal with watchmaker Traser that sees him promote the watches in his thrillers.
McNab's latest novel 'Liberation Day' sees his hero Nick Stone take on Al-Qaeda and contains more than 60 references to Traser watches.
One passage in the book reads: "I dug my right knee into his left thigh. His cologne filled my nostrils and I saw a gold Rolex glint on his wrist. This boy had obviously never seen what a Traser could do for you."
