The short answer

The closest alternative to the Ratio FreeDiver 48HA90-02 is the Casio MDV-106 Duro ($85) — pro diver and Visually similar. If price is the constraint, the Casio AE-1500WH at $40 (vs $99 for the FreeDiver 48HA90-02) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Ratio FreeDiver Version 02 Helium Safe 1000M Sapphire Quartz is the standout microbrand take — same family (FreeDiver) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Citizen Promaster Diver Ecozilla ($469) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
