Review: Some things you might want to know about this solid and practical, if not perfect, watch. - This GD350 G-shock watch has been extensively reviewed and, rather than simply reiterate the content of what’s in the other hundreds of reviews, I’ll simply try to add some little things you may or may not know To help your decision making. Vibration: This is not the only Casio watch with vibration alerts. I also own a watch from the W735 series, available here on desertcart, that has a vibration alarm similar to this one. They feel the same when they vibrate, likely having a similar mechanism. The W735 watch is smaller than this one, but is not G-Shock. It is priced at around thirty dollars, which is considerably less than the GD350. Both watches can vibrate for the same functions (alarms, countdown timers, etc). Countdown timer: You’re likely looking at this GD350 for the 24-hour countdown timer, which is its key feature. Indeed, access to it with one button push from the time screen is a huge benefit to those that use a timer frequently. After hitting the button, the countdown timer starts at the top of the home screen, while the regular time still is displayed. To turn off the countdown timers downward count in mid-count, one has to hit Mode to get to the countdown timer, though. (If you let the countdown go all the way too zero, you can hit any button to stop the alert though without going to Countdown timer via Mode). A limitation of the countdown timer is that there is only one timer...that is, you can set the one time interval of your choice, and then that is all that is accessible from the countdown button, and that is all that is accessible from the Countdown mode (where you can change it to any one time of your choice). Other Casio model watches and other brands have multiple countdown timers...this GD350 does not. Note also that the GD350 does not have a repeat feature of the countdown timer (which many would refer to as an interval timer) where the timer automatically repeats. I find this to be a limitation of this model. It would be nice to have multiple timers, or to have the ability to act as an interval timer. The Pomodoro method (25 minutes working time, 5 minutes rest, then repeat) for instance, is one reason many buy this watch. But there are better choices, such as the Casio AE1300 (twenty five dollars) that has numerous programmable timers. For straight up interval work and Pomodoro method, it’s hard to beat the Timex Ironman Classic 100 (fifty five dollars) that has 9 repeatable countdown timers that can be sequenced (such as 25-5-25-5-25-5 etc.) which repeats without hitting any button. Want successive timers that do 12 minutes, 10 minutes, 6.5 minutes, then again 12 minutes, then 10:10 minutes, etc. or so other custom combination? Timex Ironman Classic 100 is your watch. Of course, pacer function, where the watch beeps to set a cadence for workouts, is on a runners watch. So, all in all, while the direct access to countdown timer is the reason people buy the GD350, an awesome feature particularly for anyone that must countdown time the same single interval repeatedly, but the countdown and interval features are extremely limited otherwise. Hourly chime: I like hourly chimes. The hourly chime can be vibration only, or it can be two beeps plus two flashes of the LEDs of the watch face light. Want only two beeps and no annoying flashes? Not an option. Want vibration and beep? Nope. Want face flash only? No. Alarm and chime sound: The sound of this watch is unique as compared to other Casio watches that I own. I own six other Casios, and five Ironman watches by Timex, and this GD350 has the most unique chime/audible alarm. The chime is tiny, brusk chirps. Very staccato. Across the room, I cant tell my other watches from one another; I can distinctly know if the Casio GD350 is chirping. That said, while I find this chime pleasant and less annoying than the others watches I own, I do find it less loud also for waking me up from sleep. If one is a deep sleeper and hoping their audible wristwatch alarm is going to wake them up, this is likely not the watch for you (or try to listen to it in a store). The vibration does not wake me up, but I wear my watches loose on wrist and woulidn’t depend on the watch to wake me up by vibration alone. World time: The world time WT function is the first function you come upon by hitting the Mode button and, while the watch has many world cities with times that one can scroll through, it basically stays on one city of your choice for the display when you get to WT mode. For example, if I select time in Paris, and leave it there, every time hit Mode once from the regular time on the home screen, it shows me Paris time. I find this nice and handy. That said, if you want to see times in other cities on the home screen, you cannot see it simultaneously with your regular local time. If you are looking at times of several cities at once routinely, you will need to scroll through all the cities stored in the watch as multiple cities are not selectable as user pre-sets, if that makes sense. This GD350 is superb for people who, for instance, live and work in two different time zones as they can simply hit the Mode button once and have the other locales time right there, no messing or fussing, and when they return home, Mode a few clicks back to the Home screen. Stopwatch: The stopwatch is very similar to other Casio watches, but does show the time at the top of the display even in stopwatch mode. It records in hundredths of a second. For purists looking for a runners watch, with front face access to start-splits and better timing to 1000ths of seconds and more stored splits, the Timex Ironman Classic 100 (my favorite, with the Classic 50 next for features and use) is by far the best, But, it’s not shockproof per se. Screws: There are tiny screws on this watch, including for the wrist sizing “wings” in the back of the watch itself, and some decorative silver screws on the watch body. When you get this watch, immediately grab some eyeglass size Phillips screwdrivers and tighten the screws. They can be loose from the get go, and if one falls out, it’d be nearly impossible to replace. Everything in watches is a compromise. I hoped that the GD350 would have more countdown features to go along with it being the only Casio watch with direct access to start a countdown. However, the much less expensive Casio non-G Shock AE1300 series (including the non-Referee and Referee watches) has much better countdown features and more numerous countdowns on the watch, just no G-Shock and no direct access to countdown timers. Those watches should be investigated before purchasing the GD350 for those who rely on countdown timers for work, play, and Pomodoro Method (I own and now use the AE1300 non-Referee model, and my Timex Ironman Classic 100, for Pomodoro technique). Thank you.
Review: Underrated gem in the G-Shock range - I bought this particular model mainly for the vibration alarm, because Casio apparently don't know how to make audible alarms, especially the G-Shocks with their extra insulation/padding (I'm saying this as a die-hard Casio fan and owner of several G-Shock, Pro-Trek, Edifice, and other models). Likes: - The vibration alarm is great (keeping in mind that I don't use, or expect, a wrist-watch to wake me up - I'm using it for reminders). - The quick-activate timer is another plus for me; apart from the date & time this is the function I use most often in a digital watch - and again the vibe alarm comes into its own here. - The LED does a much better job of lighting up the display compared to the EL in my Pro-Trek PRW-2500, which is of similar size; and a very cool feature is the auto-light that automatically deactivates after ±6h to prolong battery life. - 200m water resistance. - G-Shock toughness. - Although I place far more value in function than in form, I have to mention appearance (keeping in mind that this is just my preference - not everyone will like it): The understated grey finish, with no garish printing all over the show, advertising X years battery life, Super-illuminator, or any similar nonsense, makes this watch the best-looking digital watch I have ever owned; even the printing for the button functions is simply stamped into the case with no highlight coloring. But just to be clear, I wouldn't by a long shot describe this watch as elegant, but rather as understated ruggedness. Nothing much to dislike, but I do have a wish-list: - I wish it was solar-powered, but apparently solar-cell technology has not yet reached the point of being able to reliably drive a vibration alarm, so I'll live with this relatively minor inconvenience. - The 10-minute/10-second tickers at the top-left may be mildly entertaining to watch for a while if you honestly have nothing better to do, but they really serve no practical purpose. I think Casio could have made better use of that bit of real estate - e.g. for alarm & signal status (instead of the tiny print below the displayed time), and even indicating whether the stopwatch is running, while in timekeeping mode. Conclusion: In my opinion this model has far more going for it than against it, especially at the price - in fact I'm seriously considering buying another as backup before it gets discontinued, just in case the first meets up with some disaster.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is there anyway to make the backlight brighter?**
A: No. The brightness should be really bright. The whole face of the watch lights up. It isn't just one corner.

**Q: Do you have to replace the battery**
A: Yes. The battery is I believe a 7-8 year battery. If you don't use the backlight on it very much (I rarely do) it will last for years. I have another G Shock that is going on six years without needing a battery. The G Shock watches with "Tough Solar" will never need a battery. The GD350-1CR that you are asking about, will need a battery at some point down the road. I love this G Shock. Its my favorite one.

**Q: Can i set the alarm for a week day?**
A: The watch has 5 daily alarms that flash or vibrate!

**Q: Is it waterproof**
A: Extremely waterproof to 660 feet l have never had one leak !

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful in many ways.
*by J***N on June 30, 2018*

I purchased this watch for myself three years ago. I am a bit of an amateur watch collector, but I usually stick to analog-mechanical watches (I have two digitals). To say that I have grown to love the watch is an understatement. This watch seems to have been designed around its timer function. Unlike other G-Shocks, the watch can display the time-remaining and the current time on the same screen. The timer can be set down to the second (again unlike other G-Shocks). Additionally, the watch's timer function can be activated with the press of a button from the home screen instead of flipping through the modes. This allows quick and easy starting. I am a college student, and use this watch to study. I follow the Pomodoro method and the GD-350 is perfect for timing the 20/5 minute intervals. As an added bonus, the watch has a vibration alarm setting (to my knowledge, it is unique to this model). This means my constant timing will not disturb other students trying to study. The vibration is not enough to say wake you up at 6 in the morning, but if you are just looking for something to draw your attention away from a screen, it's perfect. Beyond using it as a tool to study, I have taken it on countless trips into the woods, underwater, and some pretty legendary falls while abroad. It has survived a fall while repelling down a slippery waterfall in Belize (the rocks broke the arm it was on, but amusingly the watch still worked), a spill off a motorbike in Thailand and countless bumps and bruises while rock climbing in Turkey. I mention all the countries because this watch also has a world timer function. You can see the time in any one of 50 cities without actually resetting the watch's time. Without hyperbole, this watch is tougher than I am. This is a big watch. I have a medium sized wrist and medium thickness forearms. It's definitely the largest of my watches, but I think it wears well. It's just large enough to remind you that its a tool on your wrist. Think of it as such. Some pros over other potential G-Shock models: Vibration feature is fantastic. This alone might warrant buying the watch over other G-Shocks if you think you might use it often. The enhanced timer setting is incredibly useful. Some cons over other potential G-Shock models: This watch is bigger than most of its siblings due to the vibration feature (like 90% thicker than the slimmest of the G-Shocks, notably the GW-5600). The buttons feel less tactile and responsive than other models The backlight is maybe too bright compared to other models (this may be a pro to you though) It doesn't have features like a thermometer or compass that you find on models slightly higher in price Know what you're getting before you buy. If the feature set is appealing to you, and you don't mind larger watches, buy the GD-350 now. I would sooner part with my omega than lose this watch. The pictures below are not mine, they come from a Watchuseek forum titled "GD-350-Surprisingly Good!", posted by user "aadhtbb". They were vastly helpful to me in determining the size of the watch. It is compared side-by-side to the GW-5600. (This person seems to have smaller wrists, the watch does not look as overwhelming on mine)
