The short answer

The closest alternative to the Citizen AW1788 is the Citizen FE7110 ($263) — shared caliber (Citizen J810) and Same family (Citizen). If price is the constraint, the Citizen Donald Duck at $225 covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane Classic Chronograph is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Looks nearly identical.
