The short answer
The closest alternative to the Swatch Skin Classic is the Swatch Skinskin ($135) — looks nearly identical and Sunburst dial. If price is the constraint, the Timex Easy Reader 38mm Leather Strap Watch - TW2P75800 at $79 (vs $195 for the Skin Classic) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Aigi Watches Glacier Rose 36mm Brown Leather Watch is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Sunburst dial. Stepping up, the Hamilton Jazzmaster Thinline Small Second Quartz ($745) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
