The short answer

The closest alternative to the Knut Gadd Octagon is the Bulova White Dial Stainless Steel Expansion Classic 43L230 ($195) — classic dress and Tonneau / barrel case. If price is the constraint, the Casio AQ-800E-7A at $65 (vs $219 for the Octagon) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Knut Gadd Octagon is the standout microbrand take — same family (Octagon) and Cushion case. Stepping up, the Bulova White Dial Stainless Steel Bracelet Super Seville 96A344 ($1,025) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
