While trends come and go among the best watches out there, some things sure make their presence felt. That can certainly be said for integrated bracelet sports watches. Many had signalled their reappearance on the scene as a flash in the pan, but the best part of ten years later, they're still going strong.

There are all manner of different models out there, but one of our favourites here at T3 is the Christopher Ward The Twelve. It sits at a killer price point, and offers one of the best bracelets you'll find on any watch under the £3,000 price point.

Not too long after the original 40mm version was launched, the brand came out with a 36mm variant. That was perfect for smaller wrists, offering a more compact case size which was something of a rarity for this kind of watch.

More recently, the brand split the difference, adding a 38mm variant into the mix. I called it the Goldilocks watch when it was unveiled, but I've since had it on the wrist for a week. Will it live up to expectations?

The specs of the new version are relatively unchanged compared to the rest of the range. Obviously, the case diameter is now 38mm, which pairs nicely with the 9.95mm case height and 43.3mm lug-to-lug width.
