Revisiting one of the best digital G-Shock watch currently still on the market. This is GD-350 mostly well known for its tactical appearance an updated version from 'The Silencer' series G-Shock watch.
Despite the size and the age, I'm sure this will still be a popular options for years to come.
Have a look why.

I am active duty soilder in Korea army. I bought the negative display version and I love it. I would say this is the perfect watch for soilders. I never had any problem with reading the screen at all. It is not only comfortable but look goods with small wrist. And, the fact that it has vibrating alarm is just incredible. It is so useful. Also, it is not that expansive for what you are getting.

I wear the negative black display version of this model daily on duty. I always have the setting to vibrate. Very handy to be alerted of the hour change without having to look at your watch. Also the grey version is in my collection and would recommend them both. Casio need to add more vibration module to future tactical/military style watches.

The GD350 I purchased 4 years ago (new from Walmart) needed a battery replacement on its third year of ownership. I did use the vibration alarm virtually every day of those 3 years. I “traded up” to a GBX-100 which also has vibration alarm but it is more complicated than the GD350 and the vibration alarm doesn’t feel as powerful. I am looking at purchasing a negative display GD350...

@networkgeekstuff9090 Жыл бұрын

I have GD-350 and two things that I love about them on top of the vibration: 1) It is powered by a standard CR2032 battery, so replacement is easy to the point that I laugh when people start buying solar powered gshocks just to avoid battery swaps 2) It looks like a watch for a Rambo if you replace the plastic band with a ballistic nylon (a.k.a. NATO strap), I replaced mine with this to get my skin some air as the original thick plastic strap was not comfortable in summer.

@burnikshrapnel Жыл бұрын

Not laughable at all. You open your regular watch more frequently than their solar counterparts. The more you open it the more you risk compromising the mechanism inside. But the alarms and light of regular watches are stronger than tough solars so there's that.

@LeChristEstRoi 9 ай бұрын

@@burnikshrapnel Well...I don't know for this watch, but for the DW 5600 series a CR2016 battery can last up to 10 years, and at least 5 if you frequently use the alarm function and the backlight (the 2 years life span stated by Casio is total bs, ridiculously conservative....) On the other hand, the average life span of a rechargeable CTL1616 is 10 years, maybe 15 if you're lucky... in my country it costs 13 US dollars. For the same amount of money I can buy 100 sony CR2016 batteries, or 25 panasonic/Maxell...so solar doesn't make sense for watches with only basic functions (no altimeter, no compass...) which won't drain that much energy. BTW, the mechanism of those quartz watches aren't that fragile! And changing a battery isn't brain surgery!

@burnikshrapnel 9 ай бұрын

@@LeChristEstRoi nope. personal and anecdotal evidence prove solar watches could reach 20+ years on watches especially those without special features. it's not brain surgery but you'll be surprised how many watch wearers don't even know how to change straps.

@LeChristEstRoi 9 ай бұрын

@@burnikshrapnel Dude, a watch needs to be opened every 5 years or so to clean the dirt that has gotten under the case-back, to check the rubber gasket, to grease it with silicone grease, or to change it for a new one. I know that must people don't bother, and won't open their watch until the battery dies and needs to be changed...myself I'm also lazy about it... The other day I opened my 3 years old solar powered pro-trek, and I was suprised by the amount of dirt that managed to get under the case-back! Fortunately the gasket did its job and the dirt didn't get through it, so the mechanism was clean, but some moisture did, and that's the reason I opened my watch! To dry it!

I went from a GD 100 0range to this GD350. I agree with this review 100%. This is one of the best G-Shock watches ever. I have this color and the only reason I no longer wear it because I need a new band. Can’t tell you how many times the 10 min countdown timer, which has the circle button, was used while cooking or training. The Illuminator is Beyond bright and I love the 5 second light time. In a dark room, the light will show you the way. Battery is still going! It’s interesting that you’re comparing this to the analog watch, the GD 2100, which is the watch I wanted next (white marker version). I want a positive black digital watch that isn’t 5600. Thanks for this review.

If they dropped the 'ticking bars' in the top left and even the circle eye-shaped dispay and put a solar panel instead, it would be a lot better. A solar atomic version of this Gshock would be good, but a solar Gshock with vibration I'm sure would sell well. I know I'd want one.
