It's the same price as the G10 sapphire, which is exactly what it is but with a white dial. Looks cool though.

Really like that! Very tempted
At least with a white dial it's legible. I can't get on with polished steel hands that are on or off depending on the angle.
I'd also prefer 20mm lugs.
Eddie, let's a have a white dial PRS-10 with properly legible black hands.
Edited to add that the lug width from that photo looks closer to 19mm, so a 20mm strap would probably be fine too.
Kinda cool, I don't have any issue with the price at all, as mentioned is the GS Sapphire model with screw down crown and slightly different case(to the standard G10) etc.
Not sure I'd buy one, happy enough with my fatboys and RN.
Having owned the black dial version my opinion is that it’s £100 over priced.
Does look very odd, the 3,6,9 numbers look wrong and the arrow looks like something from a Victorian prison outfit. I'm not convinced by that I'm afraid.
It looks very white.
The crown is nice.
First time I have seen CWC come in for a hiding here:-)
0% Refinement, indeed a tool watch can be functional and attractive!
I think they're stretching the military connections quite a bit with this one, has any soldier ever worn something that looks like this? Looks decent though, I don't mind it, but calling it "Sub-Hunter" rather than "G10 White" or something similar is a bit silly IMO.
After giving this a good look at, I can honestly say there is nothing about this watch that I like. The nato is the only good bit.

Marathon just released a white dial with red seconds. The Arctic MSAR. Before you get too excited... it's a 36mm quartz.
White dials with red seconds must be the new black.

I said that to cwc on Instagram as its only a five year battery not 8 to 10, their reply was "Yeah....The price on the sapphire will probably have to go up now" like there was no need for it to actually go up.
They say new case, but it's the same old 19mm lugs matched to a 18mm strap case with a thinner case back due to no lithium. Battery.
It does not appeal to me in any way. It looks like a modded Timex from India.
Is it me, or does the 4 in the website image look bigger than the other digits?
Now I’ve noticed it, I can’t un-see it
While I dreamt of a vintage penone broadarrow on a dial recently, its a bit bold and unbalances the dial, IMO.
Great they used ETA 955, an evolution of the 83' medium fatboy's movement, but where does this leave their GS Sapphire with ronda 715Li.
I like some wrist presence its only 6mm thick.
As some have said black second hand would have been better, especially on a civilian suitable piece.
The case, screw crown, swiss made on dial and water resistance are its only good atributes.

The red seconds hand is the only thing I like about this watch.
CWC basically sell £30 quartz watches for £300. Yeah, I know, "mil issued". Whatever. Still a quartz and good luck getting anything other than a NATO through those bars.
