The short answer

The closest alternative to the Rockwell Time CF Lite is the Casio GW-5000HS ($330) — square case and Quartz. If price is the constraint, the Casio GA-2100 at $110 (vs $280 for the CF Lite) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Rockwell Time CF Leather is the standout microbrand take — square case and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Casio GMW-BZ5000GD ($720) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
