The short answer

The closest alternative to the CIGA Design GORILLA is the Casio GMW-B5000 ($440) — square case and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Casio GA-2100 at $110 (vs $379 for the GORILLA) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the CIGA Design EYE OF HORUS is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (CIGA Design CD-01) and Square case. Stepping up, the Bell & Ross BR-X3 Night Vision ($15,012) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
