The short answer

The closest alternative to the Casio GWF-A1000 is the Citizen Promaster Geo Trekker — common cross-shop and Pro diver. If price is the constraint, the Citizen Brycen at $394 (vs $800 for the GWF-A1000) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special is the standout microbrand take — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Bulova Black Dial EPDM Rubber Strap Series X 98B358 ($4,750) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
