The short answer

The closest alternative to the Simpl Minimalist Dress Watch is the Frederique Constant Classics Quartz Moonphase ($995) — classic dress and Quartz. If price is the constraint, the Timex Waterbury Classic 40mm Leather Strap Watch at $102 covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Simpl Amber is the standout microbrand take — same family (Timeless) and Visually similar.
