Both are great! I prefer the 16570 proportions though.

I've had both, but ended up with the 216570

Just like the 116520 and 116500 pair in black and white. I think the 16570 and 216270 in black and white make perfect sense.

I went with a 16570 Polar - didn't care for bigger version but they are both great IMO.

I went with the 16570 polar and couldn't be happier. When I tried on the 216570 at my AD the 42mm was a little too large for my taste.

awesome, love that combo, I would do it the same, polar more casual suits the bigger case and maxi dial.

I like the 16570, as I have a smaller wrist.

IMHO, I feel 5 digit and 6 digit wears differently and actually are different watches albeit sharing the same design DNA. Both can actually co-exists and there's no reason to choose one over the other!
