The short answer

The closest alternative to the Ratio FreeDiver 1000M Quartz 1038EF102V 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 WS-1400H-1BV at $40 (vs $160 for the FreeDiver 1000M Quartz 1038EF102V) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Ratio FreeDiver 1000M 1038EF102V-BLU Men's Watch is the standout microbrand take — same family (FreeDiver) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Citizen Promaster Diver ($350) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
