Depends if you want mechanical. At that price, if you do, it's mostly Seiko.
For me a field watch should be sub-38mm, ideally 35-37mm. The smaller (36.5mm) SRPJ Seiko 5s are a great release in that genre, I think:

https://www.seikowatches.com/uk-en/products/5sports/srpj81Very similar to the SRPGs, just smaller.
The 38mm Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical is a minor classic but I'd have thought would be out of budget, and the new quartz ones (38 and 34mm) have a different dial that I'm personally not as keen on.
A leftfield choice would be trying to find a quartz Seiko SUS reissue (35mm), eg https://www.sakurawatches.com/seiko-selection-sus-design-reprint-model-nano-·-universe-special-edition-scxp155 from one of the Japanese exporters like Sakura.
I have one in the dark grey case colour that I love. They need a strap upgrade from stock though.

Don’t discount Lorus as a great value option.
The boy-size one gets inordinate wrist time recently. They do a titanium man-size too.

I like the Lorus Lumibrite ones. I got this one for 30 quid from Argos. https://www.argos.co.uk/product/2535975?clickPR=plp:1:22 It's the perfect watch really. But the battery has run out. The strap is a bit cheap and cheerful, but that's a good excuse to change it for one of those manly James Bond stripey ones.

Bertuci (spelling?) worth a look too
Only do field watches

What's the forum value recommendation when it comes to field watches? Currently looking at Seiko SRPG, Timex Expedition, Hamilton Khaki and Military Watch Co. Something sub £300 would be great to have as a dressier option between my Gshock and my Seiko sub
