I really wish I saw the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/GWM5600-1/dp/B001GUL9F8/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">GWM5600-1</a>&nbsp;model before ordering this one on Amazon.  It just irks me all the time that this watch doesn't display the date and day of the week simultaneously (just has a useless empty spot where the day's abbreviation should be).  I wouldn't recommend this watch to a friend because I am eventually going to replace it with the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/GWM5600-1/dp/B001GUL9F8/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">GWM5600-1</a>&nbsp;or equivalent.

Update 1/14/2013: The wristband is now starting to tear I'm not sure how much longer it will hold up. The watch is still in great condition for what it has been through.
