The button tones for using the mode button can be turned off. This means that the watch no longer beeps when switching from one function to another. Preset alarm or countdown timers remain active when the button tones are deactivated.

I then went with the GW-5600 that linked through to my iPhone which I quite liked - but I still hankered after the simplicity of the self contained GW-5000. I feel there may shortly be a glut of second hand GW-5000s on SC. ;)Haha. Possibly, I will need to wait a while before I have access based on my post count over 5 years.

Adjustable date format (M.DD or DD.M) and adjustable day of week language (English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Russian) Countdown start time setting range: 1 second to 24 hours (1-second increments, 1-minute increments and 1-hour increments) Thanks for the replies, the colour scheme is certainly one of the nicest I’ve seen…I’m teetering on the edge…You won’t regret it. months on rechargeable battery (operation period with normal use without exposure to light after charge) months on rechargeable battery (operation period when stored in total darkness with the power save function on after full charge)You can post in Sales Corner if your post count is 250 or more and you have been registered as a member for 180 days or more. It’s the same module (and display) as your 5610 tho, if you have the older non-U version there are some updates like LED light and I think the world time is different too…..the older ones only display 1 world time I think, whereas the new ones let you select five pre-sets to scroll through (instead of scrolling through alllll the time zones on the older one). The thing I have noticed compared to the GW-M5610U-1ER is that the strap is very much softer. I’ve read this comment from others previously and it really is true!

I don’t know of anyone who does it commercially, but you can find out more about the process on Google. What is different is the construction. Yours is all resin – strap, case, and bezel. The GW-5000 has a steel case, tho the bezel and strap are still resin. BUT, the resin used on the GW-5000 is far better than what’s on the 5610, it’s more supple and comfortable. The 5610 resin feels more plasticy wereas the GW-5000 feels more like a high quality rubber. Technical amendments and errors excepted. The sizes in figures do not correspond to the original sizes.Considering the GW-5000B-1 (Module: 3159) that Casio released in 2009, I’d wait for the GW-5000UB-1… Perfect for free diving without scuba gear: the watch is water resistant up to 20 bar according to ISO 22810. The daily alarm reminds you about recurring events with an acoustic signal at the time you have set. This model has 5 independent alarms for flexible reminders of important appointments.

You see, I like flying under the radar as far as my watches are concerned. I have no need or want to own and show off the flashiest wrist candy available. My flashiest watch is a Mr Jones Watches Nuage, which is only so because it’s immediately apparent that it’s a watch that is not for telling time. That watch is also on my special list of four, at least until I get a chance to get out to Japan and shop for a vintage Seiko to replace it as my go-to “dress” watch. Another watch I already own that’s on the list is my Seiko Alpinist SARB017, my GADA three-hander. See a trend? I do. My core watches have been or are turning out to be relatively affordable, fun, and largely Japanese (though the Nuage employs a Swiss quartz engine). That won’t be the case for the final addition to the four, though that’s a topic for another article.Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkThat’s about what I paid and it took around a week to arrive. The thing I liked was that you didn’t get caught out with any unforeseen VAT, customs clearance fees or Royal Mail charges - and I got it before Christmas! It will be my fourth 5000, all previously and regretfully sold due to a mix of failing eyesight and dial readability. world time settings (48 cities), 31 time zones, the additional 2 time zones are for the cities of Fernando de Noronha (-2) and Kathmandu (+5.75)All the upgrades are a positive and may be difficult to resist. Same watch just an EU release apparently. Wouldn’t get to hung up about the JF/ER. Go for the best deal.

I am a kid of the 1980s, and although I had some watches before, the first watches I bought myself (being a kid) was a digital Casio W-14 in 1986 or so.Then the new ‘U’ version came out and I bought the GW-5610U discounted to see if the changes made any real difference. Look, I love the 5000 and respect how the workmanship is top notch. It's a quality item but on a day to day basis I find myself wearing the 5610 more often.
