The short answer

The closest alternative to the Swatch Skin Magnolia is the Swatch Skin ($185) — same family (Skin) and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Timex Easy Reader Color Pop 38mm Leather Strap Watch at $81 (vs $185 for the Skin Magnolia) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Wolfpoint Classic 36.5mm Quartz is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Quartz. Stepping up, the Fears Redcliff (Edwin Edition) ($511) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
