Great review with excellent clear picture quality 👍 Fun fact - When the GD-350 first came out back in 2013, the name Vibrator was used instead of it now saying Vibe Alarm. Casio quickly made the change and those early released GD-350 vibrator watches are now highly sought after and collectible!

Thanks for the detailed review. I had the black GD-350 (positive display) for many years and now I'm thinking of purchasing this grey one. What I liked most about this watch is the shape that is so unique to other G-shocks and the vibe alarm. Yes, this watch didn't get much attention it deserves but this watch to me is one of the best amongst the low-range price G-shocks that I have. The LCD display is super legible and very functional in tactical situations.

It,s a Gem.......Baffled as to why Casio decided to discontinue the Model Last year.......Possibly the best G Shock they ever created !........With regards to the Timer not being able to be zeroed and reset from the dedicated button........It,s so it cannot be accidentally stopped once set.....If you are in one of those situations where you have just placed explosives at the enemies Ammo / Fuel Dump location.....And you need to know when to get the Hell out of Dodge before the fireworks begin.......It can also be used as your depth time device (Decompression Timer) when used Sub Aqua.....Again, You can,t accidentally stop it....... A safety device so you know how long to be safely under the blue wobbly stuff.

My argument would be that it'd be virtually impossible to accidentally stop it, but it's not a big deal at all to me regardless.; just something I myself would have preferred. Other than that this watch truly is G-Shock perfection that needs more recognition and more color variations.

The reason you can only start the count down timer on the main time keeping display is so you don't accidently stop the timer once started. If you're timing something important (military/LE operation) you don't want to accident stop the timer when you bump your wrist or press the wrong button.
@degenerateWA
3 жыл бұрын
I get that, but in reality the button is highly unlikely to accidentally be depressed and when timing multiple evolutions that system is less than ideal, but not a big deal at all. The problem is easily fixed by being in the timer mode in the first place, and the timer shortcut is a great added feature.

Great review, very thorough, and it's one of the reasons why I went out and got this G-Shock myself.... it has now become my favorite Casio that I have, G-Shock or otherwise.... I love the rugged military style look., Along with the dial display, although I will see I can do without the meters, and stuff like that but overall, it's great... If I had to pick a favorite display, it would be the Casio AE 1500, maybe not so much the size but just for the very simple layout And how things are positioned on the dial... the only thing I can do without on the 1500 display is the second counter bars to the right side... again to me that something that's just not necessary and definitely not useful... but overall the GD 350 is my definite favorite

I've never owned a GBX100 so I can't speak for that one. It's definitely a hard pick between the other two. The GD400 is an amazing watch, both in toughness and it just looks cool especially with the bull bars. The GD400 has the quintessential "G-Shock" look that's hard to beat. The GD350 offers more functionally however both will have the same durability and reliability. If I had to only pick one... I would go with the GD400, but that's only because it fits my style more. Whichever one you pick you will have a solid watch.
