The GW-M5610BC-1JF is a solar powered and atomic timed watch coupled with a composite metal & resin band and a traditional folding clasp. Apart from the standard features of a G-Shock, it also has the standard radio, multi-band 6 functionality as well as the composite bracelet. If this watch gets anywhere close to any of the six stations, namely in Japan (two stations), China, the United States, United Kingdom and Germany, it will automatically correct the time using the radio signal received. Unfortunately, where I am, it is too far to receive the Chinese station.
The GMWB5000GD-1ER is also similar in functionalities. However, it has an additional function in the form of Bluetooth 4.1 connectivity, which allows it to communicate with smart phones with Bluetooth.
Below is the table of specifications for both watches.

As you can see from the dimensions, the Metal G-Shock is just slightly bigger than the Resin G-Shock. However, the weight difference is very obvious for the Metal G-Shock. Even visually (see the photo below), the parts on the Metal G-Shock is bigger than the Resin G-Shock.

The biggest change in styling can be seen in the clasps. The system is the same i.e. a push-button-locking clasp design but with different styling.
The case-back is also different. The Resin G-Shock has a brushed metal plate screwed into place with four screws whereas the Metal G-Shock has a PVD coated screw-down case-back.
Weight-wise, the Metal G-Shock is three times heavier than the Resin G-Shock. Nevertheless, both watches wears well on the wrist. Personally, I prefer the Metal G-Shock as its weight is just nice nice and the Bluetooth connectivity is very useful. By just adjusting the necessary on a smart phone, it will instruct the watch to make the necessary changes. Definitely easier than trying to manipulate the various pushers to make changes.
