The short answer
The closest alternative to the Citizen Brycen is the Citizen Promaster Diver ($338) — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Swatch Kaicco at $135 (vs $394 for the Brycen) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Vaer DS2 Meridian Quartz is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Glycine Combat Sub ($895) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
