The short answer

The closest alternative to the Sheffield Solar is the Citizen Promaster Diver ($338) — pro diver and Visually similar. If price is the constraint, the Casio AW-80 at $46 (vs $174 for the Solar) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Sheffield Diver 1 is the standout microbrand take — skin-diver style and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the DOXA SUB 200T ($1,790) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
