Notifications and battery life for me, plus I really like the negative display of the GBD200. It's awesome seeing from a quick glance if a message is worth taking out my phone from my pocket or not, and not having to worry about charging it every other day.
Gadgetbridge on Android supports it well and I can choose which app will send a notification to it to cut down the noise.
I've heard the EL backlighting makes the LCD a bit less legible. I don't know if that is true but I do appreciate the legibility of the 5610U, especially when wearing it on the inside of the wrist like I do.

Multiband is a huge plus and super convenient but I can do without if I had to.
Solar is an absolute must have for me though. If they made a non smart square with solar and a MIP display I would buy it right away

This aged like fine wine. If you are unaware of the new models, I’ve got good news for you :)

Wait which model is that? I haven't kept up for a while.

They’ve released a MIP version of the 5610 which is super readable in any circumstance. I think they are named GW-BX5600, iirc.

Thanks for letting me know! I still have a few other watches I want to check out first like the 9400, but I want to get a MIPs eventually.
