The short answer

The closest alternative to the Casio GD-B500 is the Casio G-Shock GW-M5610 ($145) — same family (G-Shock) and Square case. If price is the constraint, the Casio AE-1200WH at $40 (vs $120 for the GD-B500) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Farr + Swit Gamer 8 Bit is the standout microbrand take — rectangular case and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Hamilton American Classic PSR Digital Quartz ($1,225) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
