The short answer

The closest alternative to the Bower Tide Seeker is the Tissot Seastar 1000 ($515) — looks nearly identical and Quartz. If price is the constraint, the Timex Expedition Field Post Solar at $209 (vs $526 for the Tide Seeker) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Thorn Watchdives WD50Q 50-Fathoms VH31 Dive Watch is the standout microbrand take — skin-diver style and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Grand Seiko SBGP015 ($3,800) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
