The short answer
The closest alternative to the Minus-8 Diver 2.0 is the Timex Deepwater Meridian 200 44mm Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch ($299) — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Timex Deepwater Meridian 200 44mm Synthetic Rubber Strap Watch at $279 (vs $598 for the Diver 2.0) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Minus-8 Diver 1T Solar is the standout microbrand take — same family (Diver) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Marathon TSAR (Tritium Search & Rescue) Diver's Quartz ($1,550) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
