The short answer

The closest alternative to the Citizen Series 8 890 is the Glycine Combat Sub Sport ($1,650) — common cross-shop and Pro diver. If price is the constraint, the Seiko Prospex Sea at $625 (vs $1,395 for the Series 8 890) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Zelos Swordfish 3 is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Pro diver. Stepping up, the DOXA SUB 300 ($2,890) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
