Alternatives to the Certina DS Action Chrono

The closest alternative to the Certina DS Action Chrono is the Movado Series 800 Chronograph ($1,495) — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Timex Diver Inspired 42mm Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch at $82 (vs $859 for the DS Action Chrono) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the CWC [VAULT] Cabot Sea Falcon Chrono Diver Watch Elapsed-Time is the standout microbrand take — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the TAG Heuer Aquaracer ($3,100) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
