The short answer
The closest alternative to the Vaer DS2 Meridian Quartz is the Citizen Promaster Diver ($338) — common cross-shop and Pro diver. If price is the constraint, the Timex Diver Inspired 42mm Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch at $82 (vs $239 for the DS2 Meridian Quartz) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Elliot Brown BLOXWORTH is the standout microbrand take — skin-diver style and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Tissot Seastar 1000 ($515) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
