The short answer

The closest alternative to the Swatch Hepcat is the Swatch Blackback Pay ($105) — looks nearly identical and Quartz. If price is the constraint, the Swatch Black White the Swatch Art Peace Hotel at $90 (vs $200 for the Hepcat) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Lilienthal Berlin Lilienthal 1 is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Quartz. Stepping up, the Movado BOLD ($595) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
