I used to think that, although a 5610 would do everything just as well for a fraction of the price and lighter weight package.
And then I got older and I now can't read the dial of a digital of that size without taking my glasses off or wearing bifocals.
So, to me none of the GW5000/GWM5610 or similar work.
However, now the king is dead, long live the king - the Casioak which I can read without changing my glasses. No radio or solar but having had those for many years I've realised that they're really not necessary. I obviously need to take my glasses off to use the additional functions but that's easy enough to do when needed.
