~Sep 2021, a silent upgrade was done with the GWM5610U, with the following differences I care about,

  • Visually top rights says "Light" instead of "EL Back Light"

  • Light - The green electro-luminescen "backlight" is replaced with a white LED display from the left (hotspot but less power and fades slower) - not sure I like this better... according to the comments by article author looks the same

  • Light - New light has an option to remain for 3 sec versus the older 2 sec.

  • World-Time - Miami, Toronto, and Santiago were sacrificed, while Kathmandu, Buenos Aires, and Fernando de Noronha were added

  • Permanent Display of "Home Time" when in "World Time"

  • Stopwatch - No longer shows 1/100 of a second for full duration of stopwatch and only available at the first hour.

  • Stopwatch - However, shows current time even when timing.

  • Date format MM/DD has option for DD/MM

 

Fit well on my 5.75" but ideal would be slightly smaller.

Turned out a nice fits for my brother-in-law who has what looks to be 6.5" wrists.
