    They should be the exact same size.

    I haven't seen the g5600e, but they do not use the same module, and the gwm5610 uses the 3159 (from the gw-5000) whose digits are noticeably thicker than other squares I have owned. So I would think there would have to be differences.

    Actually the only difference between those modules is lack of atomic timekeeping in G-5600E. You can even find a "RCVD" indicator on the display of 5600E (it is visible in "test screen"). So I think dobber is right.

    I agree, I just looked at g-shock japan and they look identical, except the day/date, it looks a bit better on the gwm5610

    Thanks. I went into the test screen. I noticed that you can cycle through various test screens by pushing the "start" button. Any idea what those screens mean?

    By pushing ADJUST, MODE and START-STOP buttons simultaneously.
