The short answer

The closest alternative to the Swatch Shimmering Waters is the Swatch Skin Irony ($200) — looks nearly identical and Quartz. If price is the constraint, the Casio GMA-P2100 at $110 (vs $230 for the Shimmering Waters) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Lilienthal Berlin Lilienthal 1 – All Blue is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Quartz. Stepping up, the Hamilton Jazzmaster Thinline Special Edition ($825) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
