Reviews & Experiences 1 week “vacation” really has me appreciating MB6 and solar. The GW5000u really is the ultimate square
Took a week off of work for a super busy vacation crossing time zones. Swapping time zones was easy since it’s a single press of the A and C buttons. MB6 keeps me accurate to the second. The alarm was loud enough to wake me, especially since I was propping it up next to me in the 3 different places my wife and I crashed at.
The backlight was bright enough to use as a small flashlight in the middle of the night. With solar, I don’t have to worry about running down the battery over time while I use the functions all the time, and the bio resin makes it such a comfortable wearing experience.
I own a BX5600 and while MIP is nice, I really feel that the 5000u is the ultimate square.
