The short answer

The closest alternative to the Swatch Skin Irony is the Swatch Shimmering Waters ($230) — looks nearly identical and Quartz. If price is the constraint, the Timex Expedition Scout 40mm Fabric Strap Watch at $95 (vs $200 for the Skin Irony) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Traser P67 Officer Pro Gunmetal is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Quartz. Stepping up, the Movado BOLD ($595) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
