The short answer

The closest alternative to the Timex Diver Inspired 42mm Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch is the Casio MDV-106 Duro ($85) — common cross-shop and Pro diver. If price is the constraint, the Casio AE-1300WH at $40 (vs $82 for the Diver Inspired 42mm Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Ratio FreeDiver Professional 200M Quartz 36JL140 is the standout microbrand take — pro diver and Looks nearly identical.
