The short answer

The closest alternative to the Knot Watches Knot TSC-40 Chronograph is the Casio EFB-730D ($165) — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Casio EFV-650D at $120 (vs $281 for the Knot TSC-40 Chronograph) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Knot Watches TSC-40TI Chronograph is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko (Epson) VR43) and Racing chrono. Stepping up, the Tissot PR516 ($575) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
