The GD-350 was hit among G-Shock lovers when it came out, and it is easy to see why!! Despite being a regular battery powered watch and lacking any advanced functions like self-charging, self-adjusting or any of the sensors, it does basic functions very well, AND has one of the best screens EVER put on a G-Shock! The fact it looks really cool is just a bonus :)
I'll also be doing a detailed tutorial on how to use ALL the functions so stay tuned...

The GD 350 is one of the legends of my watch collection. I've had the negative display version since 2013 which has been on my wrist at 6000m above sea level, and over 40 m below. Exposed to sea water several times and once the buttons got jammed with sand on the beach. I once froze this watch in a block of ice for the heck of it. Wore it to work for several years, mountain biked with it, worked out with it, slammed it on the floor and also wore it in snow, rain forest and even while bathing in a hot water spring. Works just as well as the day I bought it, no repairs/service and no battery change in 7 years. Even among my other watches that are 10 times as expensive, the GD 350 is the one I probably respect the most. Incredible value for $100.

I have been wearing this watch for 5+ years. The vibration alert is AWESOME for use during my work as a pilot. It allows me to time my trips and lets me know where/when I’ve reached certain points while airborne. The light is awesome for use to see in pitch black darkness, say.... finding the bathroom in an unfamiliar location! With regular use of all features, I only recently replaced the battery for the first time in a little over 5 years! Awesome watch!

@miker5502 4 жыл бұрын

I have this very model G Shock and love it! The vibration alarm is just what my older ears needed as I find it hard to hear the audible piezo alarms on modern watches, ( you feel the watch buzzing or vibrating on your wrist) especially useful in a noisy environments. If you have the watch off your wrist and it is placed on a hard surface face down, such as a night table, it will make quite a racket to wake you up. The hourly alert is also a feature I like.The watch has 200 meters of water resistance. The supplied strap is good but I opted for a set of Jays and Kay’s adapters so that I could place a NATO strap or any other normal strap on the watch. Thanks for the positive review. Makes me even happier that I opted for this model. Cheers Mike.

I have a new one of these that's been stuck in it's box for the last couple of months. I dug it out yesterday and thought about selling it on but now having second thoughts as this video highlights the excellent functionality of this model. I have the negative version which is widely regarded as the best of it's type and is legible even in low light. It's also cheap to buy as the price fluctuates on Amazon, I got mine for £50 which is a total bargain.

With the one-touch timer and vibration alert, I can see this being a very useful gym watch. It would be nice to have several timers to activate for interval training as some Timex watches wave, but I love how Casio is inventing functions you didn't know you needed. They're brilliantly innovative. The display has a lot going on. I think there's a lot of space in the top half of the dial that's being ineffectively used.

This G-Shock will be an icon legend one day. It has the biggest cell battery ever to be put in a G-Shock. Think about this. The discontinued G-Shock DW6600 was one of the most popular G-Shocks in the 90's had a battery that only lasted 2 years on average because the EL illuminator was so bright. The GD350 has newer electronics and brighter LED technology. This watch might last 15 years on the same battery, but the rubber gaskets need lube though. I always enjoy a watch for what it is anyway.

Cool! Was watching the vid about gw7900, and another one pops up! :) Am now looking for the perfect gshock (for me, sure). Have had a white ga300 for over 6 years now, and am ordering a gw5000. What one should I go for if both abovementioned are also in the set? The Frogman is a no brainer, but is too big for my 6.75 inch wrist. The new Rangeman is ugly and, again, huge. The old Rangeman seems to be a cool piece, but Ive heard the inner lugs are relatively easy to break, and those decorative srews, while look serious, bear no function, which is a bummer. Do you have any idea on what to look at? I want to have a packed digital Gshock, not an ana-digi nor an anolog one.

For some reason I can't size mine perfectly and I suspect the wings or overall bulk are part of the issue. If/when Jays&Kays has their gray metal adapters back in stock I may go that route and skip the Casio strap. Otherwise it'll happy sit in the drawer until summertime and I'm not wearing long sleeves. As a lover of squares I also had to get the *only one with a vibrator* ... the GB-5600AA. That or the GW-5600AB is the way to go if you want a DW-5000 homage, or the GW-5600B if you want a GW-5000 lookalike (but then you'd give up the "Vibrator" text on that v.2 model.) The early Bluetooth is somewhat janky and quite limited in capability but I don't care. Ask me if I care it also lacks solar/atomic for a similar response. :)
