Casio G-Shock GD-350-1B | 200M WR | Shock Resistant |Vibration Alarm | 1/100 Sec. Stop Watch + Countdown Timer | Word Time | Multiple Alarms

I'm a fan of Casio G-Shock Watches and own several. I own 2 versions of the GD350. Positive & Negative displays. This review focuses on the Negative display version though all the features are identical. Refer to the description for all the function & features of the watch itself. Concerning the display, in general, I'm not a huge fan of Negative display watches, but this one is different. The numbers are larger than most other G-Shock or Casio watches and this Negative display is quite legible compared to others. The digits are big and bold, easy to read in any light condition. It's a nice, chunky watch, but still wears very comfortably. Out of all my G-Shocks, this is one of my favorites.The main reason I purchased it is because of it's Vibration/Flash Alarm feature. None of my other G-Shocks have this, so this is what sold me on the GD350.On the downside, it isn't Tough Solar or Multi-Band 6. Generally, Tough Solar is a requirement for me when purchasing a G-Shock. However, it does have a battery with a life expectancy of 5 years which is something I can live with. I don't regret my purchases of these watches at all and they probably don't get the recognition they deserve.Setting them up is fairly easy. The only thing you need to pay attention to initially on setup is getting the UTC time correct so all the City World Time's display correctly. If you're not sure, simply Google the UTC time plus or minus to the city or time zone you're in. For example, I'm in Honolulu, so the UTC time is negative, -10 hours from HST or Honolulu Standard Time. Other than this, the rest of the setup is pretty straight forward, similar to other G-Shock watches.Another cool feature for this watch is that it has a scrolling readout of the entire city name and not just a typical abbreviation or airport code of the city like other G-Shocks. It also has a warning to let you know when the battery is low, needing replacement. Pretty useful features you don't find in other battery powered watches.The watch can be modified also if you want to change the strap thanks to JaysAndKays who makes adapters specific for the GD350. You can find JaysAndKays on ebay which is a Veteran owned and operated store. I'm running with a black, stainless steel bracelet on my Negative display while my positive, I went with a 1 piece NATO strap. JaysAndKays also stock Bull Bars for the GD350 adding extra protection for the watch crystal. The Bull Bars also look cool enhancing the appearance of the watch.So yeah, over all this is a solid G-Shock and probably the best example of how nice a Negative display can look. Well done Casio on this particular GD350, Negative display. 5*****Stars!

The Casio G-Shock GD-350-1B is exactly what I needed in a durable, everyday watch. As expected from G-Shock, it's built like a tank—shock-resistant, water-resistant up to 200 meters, and feels like it could survive almost anything. Whether I'm working out, hiking, or just wearing it day-to-day, this watch can take a beating and still look great.One of the standout features for me is the vibration alarm—perfect for waking up or getting reminders without a loud sound. The multiple alarm settings, world time feature, and countdown timer make it super versatile. The 1/100 second stopwatch is great for precise timing, especially during workouts or for sports. It’s also super easy to read, even in low light, thanks to the bright backlight.The watch is a bit bulky, but that’s expected with G-Shocks, and it doesn’t feel uncomfortable to wear. If you’re looking for a tough, functional watch with all the bells and whistles, the GD-350-1B is a fantastic choice!Pros:Extremely durable and shock-resistant200M water resistanceVibration alarm and multiple alarmsEasy-to-read display with bright backlightPacked with useful features like world time and countdown timerCons:A bit bulky for some

The display on this is possibly EASIER to read than many of my other Casio watches. The negative display never produces 'ghost' digits. It's sharp and clear. The vibration alarm is super useful. Many have said that it's the function you never knew you needed- and it is.I have the countdown timer set for 20 minutes and I can't tell you how many times I've realized I need to (go catch the train, feed the meter, not forget to call that person back, check the stove, go pick up the kid, rotate the laundry, etc) so I hit that dedicated countdown timer button, most the time without looking. When the watch vibrates, I remember the thing and go do it.I work in an office and I'm probably a little self-conscious of having a watch alarm go off in front of my co-workers. (Which is a little silly in a world full of cell phone pings and dings, but that's how I feel.)I'm hairy and the wings do pull my arm hair sometimes. Small inconvenience.I like the clasp, I like the light, I like the functions, I like the look, I like the size. I DO wish it had the repeating countdown function. That's useful sometimes.It's funny. I do some field work for my job, and I do a fair amount of hiking and backpacking. And this is the watch I wear to the office, and not on the trail. I've got a W800H-1AV which is an astonishingly good watch- especially for $12 and a G-shock square DW-5600E- one of those is usually my choice when I'm on the trail. They don't snag on the backpack straps when I'm slipping my pack on and off. I've blown the pins off several G-shocks doing that over the years. Slimness matters. The GD-350 is NOT slim. So I wear my skinny Casios on the trail and this hunk around the office- again, because of the vibe alarm.I love this watch. This is the most money I've EVER spent on a watch for myself and if I lost it or it blew up next week, I'd be on here ordering the exact same watch within days.

Up to today I usually wear one of the Timex Expedition watches that also have a negative display (generally white numbers/letters on a black background). I was in the market for another watch because the Timex was getting worn down over the past year and a half. I was on the look out for a more durable watch that looked great and came across this G Shock and was immediately intrigued. After looking at other reviews, pictures, and video reviews I decided to give the watch a try and ordered it. I was still a little concerned mainly with the VISIBILITY of the display but upon seeing it for the first time in person I was blown away by the difference between this watch and my old Timex Expedition. You can 100% see the display easier even in dim indoor conditions. That alone was enough to make me happy with this watch. Among having a great negative display it has other basic functions such as setting up to 5 alarms, a stopwatch, and timer. You are able to set time zones and account for Daylight Savaging Time. My Timex was easier to navigate than the G Shock but nothing too difficult after tinkering for a few minutes and going through the manual provided. Other neat functions include an auto light fiction that turns the led back light on when you turn your wrist to look at the watch and the vibrate function if you don't want the beeping noise for an alarm. It's a big watch but not heavy or too bulky, at least for me. Comfortable so far and no complaints yet and I'm completely happy with this watch. A bit more than what I paid for my $40 Timex but I feel that his watch will last a lot longer is a superior watch overall. Hope this helps!

Great:- vibration alarm. That's why I bought this watch and I'm satisfied. Of course this is going to be weaker than vibration you have in your console pad or your phone, but for me this is a sweet spot strength - it's strong enough to wake you up (at least it works for me) but weak enough other people won't notice. So whatever your purpose is - not waking up your partner, not alerting/annoying others - it does the job- no "ads" on the watch. I hate when I pay for the product and then have to walk around doing free advertisement showing people huge logos. Many G-shocks have this problem as "g-shock" text is more conspicuous than time/date... this watch does not have that, you need to be close and have good light to read that this is a g-shock. For me this is great, but if you want other people to notice how tough you and your watch are, pick different color versionProblems:- thickness of this watch is crazy. while case diameter is personal preference thing, this is thick enough that it's going to cause problems with long sleeve shirts regardless of your wrist size. I'm subtracting one star for that

First of all I ordered the 1B version but received the 8 which is the gray watch with the top green lcd color, not bad anyways.Now to the review, I decided to purchase this watch for the eye candy which I love how it looks and I need a G-shock for durability, etc. The watch is made of plastic but feels very sturdy, pressing the buttons is really simple and no need for manual is you have experience with G-shocks.In my opinion and for what I use the watch the only thing missing, is tough solar which I have no Idea why Casio did not include this feature with the watch. The vibe alarm is a nice feature and the majority are getting the watch for it, I have no use for it but can comment.Vibe Alarm is not strong enough to wake you up from deep sleep, if you happen to play soccer, football, etc. you might not feel it, you can also change the vibe feature and use the regular beep instead. Vibe Alarm can be useful when timer is done, any alarm set or hourly signal. And you do not want to disturb people around you while daily activity or for preference.Beeping Sound is moderate and not much to say about that, Stopwatch can measure up to 999 hours which I have not triedTimer, this a feature I can not live without. Having the ability to set also seconds is a plus, with my Riseman I was not able to do so. For example I have 10 minutes before I do a task which demands to be completed with perfection of time, I can set the timer for 9 mins 25 secs and come back in order to finish the job in time. I use it dailyWorld time is nice but I have no use for it, also can use my iPhone for that.So Pros:* Big face, easy to read time or function indoor/outdoor* Very bright light for a watch* Solid built, can't go wrong with G-shocks* Vibe alarm, I don't use it but is a nice solid feature and in certain occasions I might use it* Dedicated timer button from timekeeping mode* Lightweight* Nice lookingCons* No tough solar, but has a nice CR2032 battery which will last at least 4 years with regular useOther comments: Some people have complained about the wings that helps keep the wrist in place, if this is an issue for you, you could just remove it using a small phillips screwdriver.Some others complain about the light being too bright, actually I prefer it this way and I am very light sensitive and have to use sunglasses even when is extremely cloudy. Looking directly to the watch at 3 or 5 am when pitch black is no problem and it does not bother my eyes.

I like everything about this watch. I’ve been wearing an Apple Watch for 2 years now. It’s lost it’s novelty for me. Maybe I’m not with the times, but I needed to get off the grid a little. I’m sick of being so tied into the world. All the texts, and calls, and emails, and being tied to a phone and all the charging... I just want to know the time.BUT I GOT ADDICTED TO APPLE’S VIBRATING ALARM.I’m one to use plenty of alarms throughout the day and I’m often wearing noise canceling headphones, even when I sleep. I work with loud machinery and like my silence when I can get it. So I need something more than just some chirps and beeps to get my attention.So after plenty of research, I found this G-Shock GD-350. It has a good size screen, looks nice, has this great light that can be set to automatically turn on when you move your wrist, it has a ton of world times that I’ll probably never use but is cool, it has a stopwatch, there is a great countdown timer that I actually do use often, 5 daily alarms, 1 one time alarm, a snooze alarm that can be silenced 7 times, if you’re the type to do so, it’s water resistant to 200 meters, way deeper than I’ll ever swim, it has a 5 year battery, and some other stuff that I’m sure I’m forgetting.It’s a great watch. The vibration is awesome. You can use beeps and alarms if you want, or just vibration or just beeps or even a combination of both.So if you like your quiet, or have hearing problems, or you live with someone that you don’t feel like you need to bother with your alarms, or maybe you just like vibrating alarms and don’t want to be tied to your phone, or maybe it’s a combination of these things or something I haven’t even thought of, this is a watch that you should take a look at.IT LOOKS GOODIT FITS GOODIT TELLS TIMEIT HAS ALARMSIT’S DURABLEIT’S UNDER $100If I could go back, I’d have gotten this instead of my Apple Watch.I buy a lot on Amazon. I don’t write a lot of reviews. I’m just pretty happy and amped up about this one.

I usually wear mostly an Apple Watch and sometimes a watch with a manual or automatic movement. I wanted a watch with a vibrating alarm function like the one on my Apple Watch when going on travel, and so I got this G-Shock watch.At first, I did not like the controls -- the 4 buttons for setting the time, the alarm, the timer, etc. Compared to the user interface on the Apple Watch, this felt very uncomfortable to use. But I decided to give it a go, and actually got comfortable using it over the course of my trip.The vibrating clock, timer, and if you like, hourly reminder on the hour are great. I didn't always wake up to the alarm the way I do with my Apple watch, but the vibrating alarm did its job on most days.I wear reading glasses, but I was able to read the time even without my glasses, which was great! The light was also great to see the time in the dark (it would be fine even if it wasn't as bright as it was, although this may be something you can set). In terms the writing on the watch, I can't read it easily even with my glasses.Changing the time displayed as a went from one continent to another was easy -- you just change the offset from UTC for each timezone you're going to. I could also easily see my home time by pressing the bottom left button.The other watch I traveled with was a manual wind flieger from Stowa, but I was happy to use the G-Shock the whole trip and only wore the Stowa for the flight coming back home.Size-wise, it felt very comfortable on my wrist. It sits higher than any other watch I wear, but I got used to it. (other watches are round with a 40 or 42 mm width, or the Apple Watch Ultra). The strap and buckle were okay, but I will look at swapping it out for a NATO before my next travel adventure where I bring this watch.I'll look forward to using this G-Shock on my next travel adventure!

Relógio excelente e parrudo, vibração dele é suave o que é bom, pois você não ouve a vibração apenas sente, paguei um preço ótimo por ele e posso dizer que valeu cada centavo, a visibilidade do mostrador é perfeita, não tem aquele efeito que varios relogios Casio gshock apresentam que é como se os números fossem apagando conforme você move o pulso, zero reclamações!Uma dica, se você está na dúvida sobre o tamanho dele em relação a seu pulso, se a medida for entre 17,5cm pra cima ficará bom! Menos que isso ficara grande para você.E tem função de ligar a tela ao girar o pulso.

Super quality.

Un gran reloj … me encanta … llego de acuerdo al tiempo acordado

I love the look, feel, and functions of this watch. The vibe alarm feature is so handy. The light is nice and bright, and the face is very readable. I use the timer and snooze alarm daily. I shower and sauna with it on, and no problems at all. I have a fairly small wrist and it's not outrageously large on me. The light-on-dark display is very cool. I was glad to get this on "Cyber Monday" when the price dropped a lot!
