- 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.

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.
If it isn't considered a legendary G-Shock yet, it will be.
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.
I know what you mean. I got one for my son when he joined the Army. I just got a black one with positive display on clearance today at Wal-mart for $54. Love this watch.
I considered purchasing this one. Something about its simple yet tactical design almost epitomises the pinnacle of a military G Shock at the lower end price range.
I put my blacked out GD350 on a JaysandKays black pvd 24mm bracelet (with their metal adapters) + bullbars and it makes the watch look even more badass.
I like the timer start from almost any screen, and that you have a home time display in almost every screen.
I have the negative version, as only the negative one is available in India. It has one of the best negative display and is super legible.
You forgot to mention it has 5 years' battery.
I think it is 10 years battery life
As I have since around 7 years and it's still working
I bought it in 2014 and the battery is still working
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...
Got mine today here in India, love it 😻
How is it? Is it bulky?
GW-350 in grey is my favorite model! I wear it everyday! I hope they continue making this range for a very long time!
Yes! One of my favourite G-Shocks ever. Great display and a brilliant back light. I love the animation in the WT mode for the city names! Great video.
Its still the best G-Shock out there.. its not that huge, but its packed with functionality and comfort.. (GD-350) a must have.
Have my gd since 2013 never changed batteries or anything....thing just works 💯
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.
I bought mine in 2014 and trained/worked with it on for years. Just recently need to replace the battery but other than being banged up quite a bit shes gtg. Highly recommend it.
The fact that it has a one touch count down timer function is the reason it's my EDC. And probably always will be. Would 100% buy if I ever lost it. Also found it for 18 bucks new at Wal Mart so ain't so bad
Glad to see someone else was grabbed by the “octagonal DNA”. What grabbed me when I saw one recently was that it looked like the DW5600 & CasiOak had a baby.
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.
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.
@@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!
@@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.
@@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!
@@LeChristEstRoi well that's you. my uncle had his eco drive for more than 20 years and he only opened it once, so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I have the GD-350, it's probably the best watch for the viewing screen.
mozzberg it’s the only one that will actually wake me up with the alarm
seriously, i started wearing my gd350 after losing my small square g-shock (gw-m5610), and i'm realizing that the difference in display quality puts this miles ahead.
The numbers are much bigger and the screen is very clear. The newest squares have the numbers closer to the protective screen and a high quality display and so they are more legible as well.
@@oklahomahank2378 which model is that?
I am buying one exactly like this video. I love the vibration mode and the dual display colors( green) remind me the activities on the Ocean 🌊. Like a watch that the military Navy use.
Funny thing is i received my 350-8 an hour ago and this pops up.sincronicity or what
I have one of this too. Really unique, rugged and I especially love the backlight. I only wish they make a solar version for this one. Greetings from Kuala Lumpur! 👍
Even for a small wrist looks so good, I own a GD 350 1cr the most beautiful imo it's one display color but when push light button it gets red date!. Also has painted carved bezel letters, is the only one with this style.
My favorite G-Shock design..i have 2, both with negative displays.
My go to edc.. but friend, those "wings" on the bottom aid w/felt vibration alerts.
Check your local Wal marts! Just picked up a black one on clearance today for $21 😊
I bought it for 100 dollars on 15% off 😕
Just $21 😮
Just picked up one today and I love it! Very comfortable and stylish.
The display GD 350 is the best among Casios with normal LCD. Even the negative display ones are good as any Casio with MIP Display. I am looking forward to get one with positive.
I have the negative display model which kinda gives it a stealth look..!
I have around 10-15 watches of different make, but this watch has become my daily wear ever since 2014 when I first got it. Be it a bike ride or a trek or a gathering or office or at home, I love wearing it most of the time. I agree with what's spoken in the video, the watch does look timeless and best owing to it's unique design... Amazing watch I must say 👍
it's 2021 and i got this watch as a gift. what a masterpiece i thought
This must be one of the most beaten GD-350 out there 😂. Very nice vid bro. Casio needs to release both military sand and army green Colors of this model! It would be a day 1 purchase for me. Add solar to it too and it would be amazing!
I have ga 8900 full black solar and this gd 350. Both are awesome
I love this model's display and vibration mode! Only complaint is that it wears a bit hot
THE GD_350 GB was the first G Shock I bought my kid brother. The one with the negative display. Best letters in a negatively display ever.
The alarm was real loud too.
I plan to get that second watch in your hand but I can't due to lock down.
Hopefully when all this is over...
Great video man.
Yeah, its the best of g-shock watch. I have it and I’m extremely satisfied with this. Must have it 👍👍
Just picked this one up at Wal-Mart on sale for $17
Damn thats a bargain.
same! I got two!
Its fake then
Its has one of the best negative disply..u will love it...no issue in visibility
My friend, g-7510 have also vibration alarm function, I have both, positive display gd-350 and g-7510.
I regret not buying the g 7510 last time
No regrets on getting Gd-350 1b 💯💯💯 Worth Buying Watch!
If they dropped the 'ticking bars' in the top left and even the circle eye-shaped dispay and put a solar panel instead, it would be a lot better. A solar atomic version of this Gshock would be good, but a solar Gshock with vibration I'm sure would sell well. I know I'd want one.
Igot the negative one amazingly works
Nice re-hash though brorher! Keep up the hard work.
Damn, if I ever get it, there's no way in hell I'm going to sell!😊
wow I love how used and worn it looks. Great review. :)
I have the Negative Display model. Amazing watch !
I laughed when you said "it hit me" and a Casio dropped on the GD-350 lol.
Please do a Review of gbx100 g lide series watch , the best version
If Casio make more color available for this watch like red green or purple, it will become a hot selling model
I bought this watch all black with negative display at the start of January and I have to say its the dogs bo$#ox!
I own other G's and a Suunto Core but this is my favourite hands down 👍
1st SFOD-D uses them they do a unit purchase for them because there is no NSN for this model.
1 more g-shock that have timer as a main function is GA-400 series.
Yes it very nice g shock
I bought the same model in 2013 and the watch still works although I didn't change the battery yet
Also my one is negative display but the best negative display I have seen comparing with other g shock
I have both models. I love my gd350 more.
Very great review.
You forgot to mention the G-7510 which also has a vibration alarm.
I like the idea of a vibrating alarm but like a lot of G shocks this one is just a little too big for my wrist size
Is this model still in production?
That it is brother!
Hi! I have one of this model and mine was the blacked out version. I really love this model because it has the capital city of my country, which is Kuala Lumpur in it's world time section. I think this is the only gshock model that has Kuala Lumpur city name display. please correct me if i'm wrong. tq.
You're not wrong.
Can you make a video on how you clean up a used G shock? that one looks so clean despite being used hard.
Get yourself some "WatchClean". This product is amazing and keeps all my G's looking brand new! I kid you not this stuff is the best. You spray it on, work it in and rinse it off.. job done! You can buy it online. Just type in "watchclean"... Have fun
Nice presentation 👍💯
Hi, I hope you could help me , the light button of my gshock dwx100 fall off , do you know where I could find a replacement help please
I was thinking about buying one and then I saw one in store and it is just so *large*
Im wondering if i should get thiz watch with a just over 6" wrist
yeahhh . almost 4yrs im use gd350
I found one of these on the ground
Dang I just found a new one for 40
same size with the GD-400?
GD400
55 x 49.7 x 16.6mm @ 78g
GD350
53.4 x 50.8 x 18mm @ 75g
Hey! Which watch should I buy between the below two options : Casio G Shock Gulfmaster GN1000RG -1ADR or the Gravitymaster GA100RG-1A? I have no special requirements, just need to choose any one of these, which one do u recommend?
GN1000 for sure. Serve much more values especially if you bought it used (cheaper).
My GD 350 strap has been broken... please tell me the alternate strap of this watch at aliexpress I did not found any exact model strap. kindly guide me.
It'll be hard to fund, maybe it'll be better if you use a typical silicone strap and cut them so it'll fit in the lug. Alternatively, buy a GA-100 type band and cut the connections till it fits.
@@gshockhighfashion thanks
Those big Font is really comfortable to eye. I hope there is other version that has big font like that. Other than Rangeman ofc.
Hi. Check out the G2900, another nice, big display watch at a great price.
big display is the best for me. cannot stand smal ldisplay watch.
Really like the face of it, just too big for my wrist.
Gd 350 is for police special force
I wish I wasn't cursed with 7.5in wrists.
$77 on Amazon right now
Just bought mine from Amazon for $80.00.
Worth every penny.
It’s discontinued now 😭 buttttttttttttttt (see what I did there butt)you can still get one
Of only it had solar panels
Lmao he says $100 is incredibly cheap but i remember when a $20 Casio was expensive
Used g-shock? That's like buying used underwear
This is bait.
Answer the question.
lmao
made in china
