The short answer

The closest alternative to the LIV Watches GX1 Cactus Gray Chrono On Metal (Special Color) is the Glycine Men's Combat Chronograph Sport 43mm Quartz Watch GL1045 ($1,295) — tool diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Timex Deepwater Meridian 200 44mm Synthetic Rubber Strap Watch at $279 (vs $750 for the GX1 Cactus Gray Chrono On Metal (Special Color)) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the LIV Watches GX1 is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Caliber 5040) and Same family (GX1). Stepping up, the Bulova Black Dial EPDM Rubber Strap Series X 98B358 ($4,750) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
