thanks for theese detaild pictures! now everyone can see at least the cases slightly different. I don't think there is any difference on the screen.

I don't think the cases are different? Just a trick of the camera.

I'll try my best tomorrow morning.
My small son has claimed the GW-M5610 his and now it is in his wrist and he is sleeping

What exactly do you mean by side-by-side?
Both facing up, like in the picture below but centered in the image?

I'm not sure this way you'll be able to compare them perfectly as you'll have each watch at a different angle, from the camera lens' point of view

That's so cute - good to get them into the hobby early.

Maybe just a direct photo straight on of each of the watches separately in the same light would be good enough. Like you photographed the GW-5000U and GW-5610U above a couple of posts ago

They've been wearing Casio watches since they were 3 years old ;-)
They love them!

I'll take those shots tomorrow then. Hopefully natural light is also better

Not sure if Grungever was referring to GW-M5610U vs GW-5000U or GWM-5610 vs GWM-5610U.
My impression is that the non-U and U version of the same model are pretty much the same.
However GW-5000 and GW-M5610 always differed in size, with regards to bezel dimensions, button placements and probably module size.

I believe the same difference would apply between GW-M5610U and GW-5000U.
In other words, not sure they have interchangeable parts, apart from the strap.

That's awesome. My 9 year old son recently became interested in watches and I ordered him a DW-5600E which he hasn't taken off in weeks. We're waiting on a red bezel from Pacparts to customize his so he can match Dad. Here he is wearing my other 5610.

I'd say this is just a photo artifact.
It is very difficult to take a proper picture of the screen without the right equipment

Theese pictures clearly show the slight differencies I meant. the guard between the buttons on the side bigger on the m5610 and the part below and above the buttons has different shape.

Ah, yeah we all know the GW-5000 and GW-M5610 are different. I thought you meant the 'OG' 5610 vs the new 5610U.

okay, my bad.

Looking at the pictures, it seems viewing angles are not any better than previous versions. So the poor viewing angles of "modern" watches were not related to the EL backlight finally.
Really a low effort from casio. Still no resin with STN display...

 

[zhanato]

You are right bro. Displayes screens still the same.

 

[Tetsu Tekubi]

Both the same identical watches, probably manufactured in the same place too, just with the different country codes stamped into the backplate.

you mean box, not backplate

So here are a couple more pictures comparing the screens between the GW-M5610 and the GW-M5610U.

It is difficult to see in the pictures but in real, when looking completely straight to the screen, the numbers from the GW-M5610 seem a bit more dark, more clear. The -U numbers feel less dark, still sharp but more greyish.

I think I can see the same with the GW-5000 and the GW-5000U but not so accentuated as the GW-5000 numbers are not as black as the GW-M5610.

So, if i would have to rank the numbers in terms of black darkness (i use color ranking as i still believe they are sharp even if not so black) it would be:

#1 GW-M5610
#2 GW-5000
#3 -U models (equal)

#2 and #3 are super close to each other.
#1 is the clear winner in terms of darkness.

Thank you for taking the time to do this and the comprehensive comparison. Much appreciated

Weird! 😐

Thanks for the comparisons!

I wonder if we're going to see them in the UK too? That's a good price if no import fees.

VAT minus in the EU, plus in the UK. EU has 21% VAT, UK 20%

 

[MattJH]

Seiya has the carbon fiber GW-S5600U-1JF back in stock. It's been holding steady for a good 9 hours now.

EDIT: Sold out

 

[Cowboy Bebop]

Just placed my order for the 5000U from Sakura this will make my 3rd GW5000 series lol I have one modded with a yellow bezel and band with a black rubber keeper.

What does the "U" designation mean?

Just got my GW-5000U from Seyia. The main items in my book:
Screen - basically same as my GWM5610, maybe actually a tad better angles and darker blacks but hard to tell
Buttons - harder (shorter) to push as expected so sounds like same as older version
Light - I personally like the white better but personal preference obviously

One thing that bugs me a tad - why can’t Casio make the exact same color band as bezel? The band is ever so slightly darker. Recently Casio black bezels seem to have gone more grayish.

Really debating whether to change the strap to combi v2 which I love. This strap is great.

Combi decision didn't take long…
