A close-up of a black Casio G-Shock wristwatch with a digital display showing the time and date.

How wrong was I? On this post I said

Not ready to spend the money on a GW-5000U just yet, I went for a GW-M5610U. Because module.

One month and a half later, the GW-5000U is here. Because module.

I really like this module. It does everything I need. And it even syncs with MB6, something I was not used to.

I spent weeks looking at the Japanese version, and it was impossible to not get it.

The image shows the back of a black Casio wristwatch, displaying its features such as “Shock Resistant,” “Stainless Steel,” “Water Resistant 20BAR,” and “Made in Japan."

And, in fact, it’s everything everyone raves about, everywhere: the band is MUCH nicer, it’s a bit heavier on the wrist (but still lighter than many of the other watches I own), and the back side is gorgeous.

I might do something crazy, and take on watch only on our trip!
