A superb buy. I have this watch, but 3 years old now, and slightly different. To be totally honest, its been the most reliable, tough, and comfortable watch to wear, and I really recommend it especially to any one doing sports, out door activities, or similar. I do find Casio watches, especially the G shock ones apart from being dressed up, to be the perfect watch without breaking the bank.

First G-Shock?! It's about damn time, my friend. :) As you stated in the review, the GD-350 enjoys the reputation as the most legible of all the negative LCDs displays that Casio makes. Typically, the gray numbers on a black background are very difficult to see, particularly in low light conditions. Combined with larger digits than most G-Shocks (the Pro-Treks have the biggest) and the usual G-Shock features (alarms, timers, world time), the GD-350 series is a very strong recommendation to anyone considering entering the world of Gs. But be warned, they can be addictive. Ask me how I know...

@stauffer65 5 жыл бұрын

Lee that is so funny. It's about dam time!! I will say, I can see they can be very addictive. I really, really enjoy this one! The Rangeman seems to be one I am drawn to also. Great to hear from you brother. I always love your take on things!!👍👍👊

This is a great watch. The only problem I had with mine was the light button would not work that well. I loved the size of the display it was easy to see. I ended up getting a GG-1000 and putting a black band on it. I have worn G Shocks for the last 20 years. I pretty much wear my GG-1000 or King G on a daily basis. You mentioned shooting. I have shot numerous rifles and pistols and no issues. You should check out the king g or the GG-1000. You will not be disappointed.

Just picked up a similar model (the one with the normal black LCD on gray background) yesterday. Been wanting to get a digital G-Shock for a long time. Amusingly, in the owner's manual, Casio recommends that you put it in the sun for charging. I'm not sure if that's for this particular model (the manual seems to cover a wide range of models) but it's pretty rare that any electronic thing can be left to bake in the sun, let alone as a recommended method of charging! There's even a warning - likely put in at the advice of Casio's lawyers - that you should be careful not to burn yourself when touching the watch after it's been out in the sun, cooking. Ha!

I don't understand 2 main things about this specific g shock. First why they're are so many American cities listed with the exact same time in the world time mode???. I mean for example there's are 10 American cities with the exact same time zone so what's the use of that if there is same time in all those cities. Just a waste of space. They should have added other world cities other then mentioning the same time zone cities. It's like roaming the same country with the same time in every city but each and every city is listed separately why?????? Second i believe there is no use of screen flashing at hourly time signal. You can't even see screen flashing on hourly chime because it's in a fraction of a second. Waste of battery i think. So these are my concerns. What you people think about that???
