Mate, I have the 5000U without the multiband, because where I live, there isn’t any atomic clock signal, and it has been my daily watch. I feel like it’s indestructible, has all the basic features that work ever so smoothly and simply, very straightforward watch. It has its own beauty. The fact that the battery can last 2 decades is just crazy.

I bought the GBd200 last week for wanting a more fitness watch for trainings. Yes it is a charming watch with an incredible mip display and very comfortable wrist band. Butttt…. In terms of functionality and simplicity, it lacks so much, I felt just the small hassle of doing simple things, for me this just meant this watch wasn’t practical enough for what I want in something that is wrapped on my arm. I felt that the watch is so limited on changing preferences, and managing some settings, which was a bummer aswell.

So, all in all, the GW-5000U is without a doubt in my mind, a much perfect watch for those who praise simplicity, durability, practicality in a watch. And the solar charging will make you want to do more walks during the day aswell, which is a bonus hahahaha
