The short answer

The closest alternative to the Swatch Something New is the Swatch Lady Black Single ($65) — looks nearly identical and Quartz. If price is the constraint, the Casio MQ-24 at $30 (vs $65 for the Something New) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the KUOE HOLBORN 90-003 is the standout microbrand take — classic dress and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Tissot Bellissima ($515) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
