Same father, indeed
What disturbs me a bit on the 5980 is that it is much thicker, and a bit bigger than the 5712, so, on my wrist, not for me...

I do not like the 5140
only because you asked... the date numbers look cluttered to me, I do not like the enlarged numbers--I'll never understand that--it looks like an afterthought or error--or a smash-in. In general, the day and month also look cluttered, too much 'stuff' on ...
