The short answer

The closest alternative to the Casio GW-M500A is the Casio ECB-2300D ($280) — looks nearly identical and Quartz. From the independents, the Jorg Gray Watches JG8400 is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Quartz. Stepping up, the Tissot T-Touch Connect Solar ($1,350) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
