The short answer
The closest alternative to the Minus-8 Diver 1T Solar is the Timex Deepwater Reef 200 41mm Synthetic Rubber Strap Watch ($239) — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Timex Expedition Rugged Core Analog 43mm Resin Strap Watch at $87 (vs $298 for the Diver 1T Solar) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Minus-8 Diver 2.0 is the standout microbrand take — same family (Diver) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Glycine Men's Combat Sub Sport GMT 42mm Quartz Watch GL1051 ($1,295) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
