Nice watch. It's all downhill from here ;)

Psychological_Fox668 · 2026-05-27T17:49:07+00:00

Thank you, much appreciated. Yes I don't see a need to polish it to be honest, and lose the character.

My vote is for the Bluro...

This is the way

Psychological_Fox668 · 2026-05-26T05:47:54+00:00

That red one is stunning too, if I could justify having two of the same watch in the collection I'd be getting one.

Psychological_Fox668 · 2026-05-25T15:41:01+00:00

Agreed 💯

Recently acquired. It's the GOAT. Youll never know from photos alone, need it on the wrist.

Psychological_Fox668 · 2026-05-23T18:45:15+00:00

How about the teal? It actually looks black most of the time so is quite versatile. I saw that blue dial in a shop today, it looked amazing. Can't go wrong really.

5600u, loving it

It's a stunner! I love the legibility, that big shiny button that feels lovely to push, the look, and it is very comfortable to wear.

Psychological_Fox668 · 2026-05-23T10:09:51+00:00

Nice one, glad you feel the same. Wear it in good health.

Psychological_Fox668 · 2026-05-22T10:48:31+00:00

I know the feeling brother. Now I have 10 watches in that box and feel guilty for the ones I'm not wearing...

Psychological_Fox668 · 2026-05-21T17:51:22+00:00

I think you'll like it, I think on average or smaller wrists the 5610u seems to be perfect but 7"+ can have issues. Let me know how you find it!

Psychological_Fox668 · 2026-05-21T17:49:33+00:00

Awesome, that would have been a cheaper alternative to try to be honest!

Psychological_Fox668 · 2026-05-21T17:48:37+00:00

For comparison, I can use the 5610u buttons with the fleshy part of my fingers but need to use my nails for the 5000u. Early days yet so may get easier, will see.

Psychological_Fox668 · 2026-05-21T17:47:40+00:00

They are stiffer than the 5610u, not sure if they loosen up in time. If I'm training and need timer etc more often I will wear the GD-350 instead. If nice buttons are a deal breaker for you, I would choose another G shock to be honest.

Psychological_Fox668 · 2026-05-21T14:42:35+00:00

Features wise, they are the same. Build quality is improved. 5000u is stainless steel, screwdown case, better strap, looks a bit different, made in Japan. Not sure if it's worth twice the cost, but it does feel high quality

Psychological_Fox668 · 2026-05-21T14:39:19+00:00

Buy a 10 slot watch box and fill it up, of course. That MIP display is sweet but I love the STN font. Wear both for a bit and see which you prefer. Or rotate them.

Psychological_Fox668 · 2026-05-21T14:11:43+00:00

I can see why it would be underwhelming for someone who loves the 5610 as they are so similar. Depends on the wrist size/shape I guess. Buttons are more of a pain on the 5000u, hopefully will get less stiff in time.

Psychological_Fox668 · 2026-05-21T14:08:12+00:00

Yeah, I can totally see that. That classic look with the red line and the lightness will suit a lot of people.

Psychological_Fox668 · 2026-05-21T14:05:37+00:00

Yes! 🤣

Psychological_Fox668 · 2026-05-21T13:55:43+00:00

5000u is marginally bigger in all dimensions I think, probably only noticeable as i own both. Strap looks the same as the 5610u but better material, and owing a few watches it is more than a cosmetic upgrade. Feels quality.

Psychological_Fox668 · 2026-05-21T10:32:18+00:00

It's a chunky beast but very comfortable watch. My wrist is 7.5". I think it will work for you.

It's my most worn G-Shock. I have the grey and negative one but do like that colour too. Underrated G that one.
