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 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!

Extremely practical, can't say enough good things about this totally awesome watch! So glad I choose this one to be my first g-shock!

Zu erst: Eine Top „G“ Die Uhr war viel eher da wie vom Amazon angekündigt einfach nur Spitze und ein Super Versand Dienstleister. Zur Uhr: Eines der besten Negativ Displays das ich kenne. Kein Vergleich zu anderen Marken oder auch Hauseigenen. Das Gelb der Ziffern ist auf der Abbildung ein wenig übertrieben wie ich finde in echt einfach nur angenehm und auch bei dunkleren Lichtverhältnissen noch gut abzulesen. Die Beleuchtung einfach nur Hammer wirklich. Es sind keine Funzeln wie sonst verbaut die Beleuchtung leuchtet das Display perfekt aus. Der Vibrationsalarm ja er ist da und ein nettes Zubehör man merkt Ihn das er da ist aber ich als Schichtdienstler würde mich nicht alleine darauf verlassen. Aber es ist gut das die Uhr eine solche Funktion hat. Das Design der Uhr: So wie ich es mag hier schlägt jedem Casio Fan das Herz höher einfach ein Must have. Der Preis: Geschenkt ist anders aber für die Uhr angemessen und gut vor allem bei dem sehr guten Amazon Service. Für mich perfekt, auch und vor allem weil die Uhr die große Batterie hat und somit ist die Uhr G Shock like eigentlich unkaputtbar. Absolute Empfehlung jederzeit wieder.

Excelente
