The short answer

The closest alternative to the Cronos Watchdives WD1969 PRO 38mm VH31 Dive Watch is the Timex Legacy 36mm Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch - TW2Y27900 ($128) — skin-diver style and Visually similar. If price is the constraint, the Casio AW-80 at $46 (vs $99 for the Watchdives WD1969 PRO 38mm VH31 Dive Watch) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the AETHELSOHN Tidal Wave Dial Quartz Watch is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko VH31) and Skin-diver style. Stepping up, the Glycine Men's Combat Sub 40mm Quartz Watch GL1060 ($895) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
