The short answer
The closest alternative to the Ratio 2nd Generation Free Diver Helium-Safe Quartz 1038EF102V-BLU-V02 1000M Mens Watch is the Timex Deepwater Meridian 200 44mm Synthetic Rubber Strap Watch ($279) — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Casio AQ-S810W at $65 (vs $160 for the 2nd Generation Free Diver Helium-Safe Quartz 1038EF102V-BLU-V02 1000M Mens Watch) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Ratio FreeDiver 48HA90 is the standout microbrand take — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Citizen Promaster Diver Ecozilla ($469) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
