The short answer

The closest alternative to the Boldr Explorer II GMT - BOLDR x FreakyFir (Limited Edition) is the Casio GA-B010 ($180) — looks nearly identical and Quartz. If price is the constraint, the Casio AQ-S820W at $65 (vs $199 for the Explorer II GMT - BOLDR x FreakyFir (Limited Edition)) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Jorg Gray Watches JG8700 is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Quartz. Stepping up, the Tissot T-Touch Connect Solar Jungfraubahn ($1,250) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
