The closest alternative to the Swatch Laax Open 2020 is the Timex Expedition Rugged Core Analog 43mm Resin Strap Watch ($87) — looks nearly identical and Quartz. If price is the constraint, the Casio AW-80 at $46 (vs $105 for the Laax Open 2020) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Makydo Jet Black Lite 42 is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Quartz. Stepping up, the Glycine Men's Airman Worldtimer 42mm Quartz Watch GL1036 ($1,395) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
