The short answer
The closest alternative to the Svalbard Bits GB17 is the Casio GMA-P2100 ($110) — looks nearly identical and Quartz. If price is the constraint, the Casio AW-80 at $46 (vs $140 for the Bits GB17) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the AV86 1960 Racing Chronograph is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Quartz. Stepping up, the Tissot PR516 ($575) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
