The short answer

The closest alternative to the Swatch In the Mirror is the Swatch Reflective ($210) — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Timex Expedition Field Chronograph 43mm Resin Strap Watch at $75 (vs $235 for the In the Mirror) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Filippo Loreti Watches Ascari Sport Steel Rose Gold is the standout microbrand take — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Movado Series 800 Chronograph ($1,495) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
