The short answer
The closest alternative to the Swatch Manawapay is the Swatch Oraspay ($105) — skeleton_dial and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Casio B650 at $46 (vs $105 for the Manawapay) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the BERNY Men's Skeleton Mechanical Watch is the standout microbrand take — skeleton_dial and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Hamilton Khaki Field Quartz ($675) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
