Got this one (GMW-B5000MB-1) to celebrate another trip around the sun. Already had a GW-5000HS that I love but have really been gravitating towards bracelets recently. Feels amazing on the wrist, display is crisp and readable. My wrist is only 6.75” bu…

After the first 3 months, it started running 7-10 se…
