My vote goes to the GW-5000, as I'm not into reverse displays.
No one ever works out and regrets it. You never go for a run, and then when you're finished, wish you would have stayed home. You never climb a mountain, get to the top, and say, "I should have just been content to stay where I was."
I think the stealth looks better.
I'd go the 5000 - it's the classic look that for me works best with the classic screw back but hell, if you can't choose between them get both!

Of those two, the GW-5000. But, I would put mine on the composite bracelet.

My choice is the GW-5000B. Not because of the stealthened face, as I know that it is harder to read. No, much more because the "B" has not only the case and back plate DLC coated, in addition and in contrary of the "plain" 5000 it has its buttons and clasp DLC coated as well.
Now that's a very ligitimate reason for me to choose the (obviousely) odd one out...

B.t.w. I ordered mine yesterday and it is in transit as we speak...![]()
G-Shock, when time counts....
I'd get the normal one to save, what, $50? Then I'd just go over it with a two-dollar Sharpie.
OK, j/k. The stealth version looks great! I've seen it in person, and honestly, it wasn't as hard to see the digits as I'd imagined.

Life is short. How sad to have realized in your death bed that you've worn a crappy watch as a "daily beater" for most of your days.
GW-5000. The stealth is just about too stealthy to see in some conditions. There will be times it will bug the hell out of you.
