Beautiful watch, excellent build, well worth the premium price.
At first glance, this looks like just another $50.00 DW5600E-1V.
Same shape, same basic watch module, with most of the same functions(you would have to step up to the GWM5610-1 for the solar and atomic functions , in the case.
But it's the case that makes all the difference. It's a screw back model, with an all stainless steel case and screw on case back(with the beautiful DLC coating). And the band is of a more supple material than the one on the DW5600E-1V. Overall the the whole watch has a much better quality feel than the standard and it's a bit more heavy, but feels better on the wrist.
It's made in Japan instead of China(if that makes a difference to you), and of course costs much, much more. About 6 times more.
Which brings me to the good value yes/no portion of the rating on the product.
Is it a good value?
Well, I feel it was well worth the asking price, so I bought one and I'm very happy with it.
But the base model is, quite frankly, just as good from a watch/tool standpoint.
Both will do the same job, tell time, be used as an alarm, etc., etc.
And while you can abuse them both and they will take a serious beating and just keep on working, you just may want to save that for the base model and wear the GW5000 in a less utilitarian way. As I have a base model, that's what I do.
But that's up to you.
I'm very happy with mine!
