4th G Shock - Unique and Awesome
This is my 4th G Shock. Seems as though I'm starting a collection.I will list the things I like as well as some of the unique traits in relation to this model.-GoodObviously it's built like a tank.It has an inverted digital display (not yellow like in the images). Inverted digital displays always look awesome.The display is large, clear and it's not too cluttered.It has vibration alarm/alert features.The light is perfect for this watch.Price was low for a G Shock.-BadJust on a personal note, the timepiece is all black. There is no other colour on the watch. This isn't a massive issue, but it could be more colourful.-UniqueThe watch (unlike many other G Shock watches) is actually a hexagonal shape. Its a really nice shape.The start stop button is awesome. It looks like a bullet casing.You can start the timer from the main screen with one button.Display Note:Normally inverted digital displays are difficult to see, especially in low light. I can confirm that I can see the display easily in pretty much any light. I cannot praise the display enough.

After 2.5 years
I have owned this watch for 2.5 years and have used it pretty much every day. The battery has never been changed and it keeps good time. The display is big and the numbers are clear. I had worried about the visibility of the negative display but it has never been an issue at all. I wear it for work every day, outdoors and in all weathers and the screen has no scratches on it. It's comfortable to wear. Just an excellent watch. A trusty device which I would take anywhere with me.

Still The Best Value Tough Watch!
I'm a G-shock owner for 20-odd years and I've been happy with all of them. They're excellent value for money if all you want is a cheap "everyday beater" watch, and so long as you don't use the backlight or alarm much, they're good for around 7-10 years before needing a battery change.I purchased a Luminox Scott Cassell from Amazon during the same week, and whilst it's clearly a much more premium feeling watch that is thinner and smarter in appearance, it cost over £200 and yet I'm not expecting it to last as long as the G-Shock. Not saying that Luminox are bad, it's just testament to how durable G-Shocks are.There are no real bad points, but slight negatives for me would be:a) The watch does feel a bit cheap - especially the strap, but then they are pretty inexpensive. I'd actually rather pay a bit more for a nicer strap material.b) It's very good for a negative display, but it's not very clear in low indoor lighting so you'll need to jiggle the watch around a bit to catch a viewable angle. You could hit the backlight button, but it will kill your battery life.c) The best feature of this watch for me is the vibration function. It's really handy having non-audible alerts, but they're a bit on the weak side. I'd say about half the feel of my fitbit charge-HR as a point of reference.Other than those slight gripes (and I'm really not complaining at this price) it's the perfect everyday watch for me!

Wow.
Had many bud get Casio watches since the 80's that served me well for years, replacing each, after the battery or strap went. They all had fairly loud alarm sounds to wake me up for work, except the alarm loudness decreased from watch to watch as the years progressed, but all kept good time accuracy and water resistance.I decided to buy a Timex Vibration Expedition Grid Shock in 2019, was very happy with it, until all the functions failed after 3 years of use, leaving just a time function and nothing else.So decided to buy the GD 350 and pleased so far, especially the vibration alarm , vibe time signal and the negative display, which can be easily viewed in most light and boosted by the powerful backlight, if needed.This watch like all my other Casio's is more a digital companion, than just a time piece, a well made and accurate watch, the G-Shock has a sturdy quality build, with a superior look.I select and set a normal daily alarm, out of the other 5 alarms, followed by the snooze alarm, which gently goes off at 5 minute intervals.The vibe feature is not like a taser on the cheaper Casio vibration alarm version, but more a subtle and effective statement, which does wake me up, as a moderate sleeper.In all , I find this watch comfortable, with useful functions and interesting features, such as world times, flash and beep, and timer etc, that are well detailed by the other buyer comments.

Lover of casios but screen makes harder to see time
I am lover of casios, but for this one, while escellent features of watch and functions, and very sturdy, and good design and nice to watch, excellent build quality and quality plastic, functiona and etc in little light screen is hard to see. Almost wanted to return and am still thunkibg about it will see.Would prefer a little better vibration this is comparable to the vibration of the other cheaper casio watch. (And that is an amazing watch by the way)Apart from those it is excellemt watch.
