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 Casio MDV-106 Duro at $85 (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 Longines HydroConquest ($1,600) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
