To answer ur question early in the show, the most basic g shock, dw 5600 and it's close cousins - do also display the actual time when in stopwatch and timer mode.
There are lots of Casios who show the current time in stw and cdt mode. Ironically it's often the cheap "entry" models which do that, and one of the reasons for me to buy only those instead of the overprized stuff.
@@thevineclimber Well, on the smaller "entry level" Casio watches, the W-202, W-204, B-640 is a good way too start. I think the W-800 shows time in other modes as well but the lack of a countdown timer is a deal breaker for me and I don't care enough for that model to unlock the timer via soldering. The wave ceptor models WV-58, WV-59 and WV-200 are also capable to show current time in cdt and stw mode, although timer and stopwatch are limited to 60 min. unfortunately. Realistically considered the GD-350 is probably the most useful Casio made to date since it ticks all boxes including the vibe alarm.
I have (had) them all, but the W-735H was the the one I quickly sold, because the display is too crowded with all that unnecessary clutter (circles) which result in smaller digits. The W-736H is my favorite and one of my mostly worn digital watches out of about 60. The display is one of the clearest and uncluttered of any Casio and the buttons are a pleasure to operate, opposite to the TRT-110H where the buttons are mostly a pita to press but because of the mud resist structure this is understandable. The GD-350 (I have 5 of them) is in my opinion among the top 5 G-Shock's made to date. Rugged, mean looking and highly functional. The digits size is about the same size as the 736H and 110H but showing the current time in stw and cdt mode is a plus, that and the backlight that can be set to 5 seconds duration. Overall they are all great with strength and weakness but if I had to decide for just one, it would be the W-736H for me.
Casio addict here - The Algorithm sent me. I didn’t realize that style of G-Shock had a vibration alarm variant! I loved that blue accent color on a sibling model, but resisted buying it. That’s now out the window - I’ve been hunting for an attractive vibe alarm for years! Quality review too btw
Hey that's awesome, thanks for coming by! I wonder if Casio would sell more watches if they made the features of those watches more obvious? I mean the Gd 350 is just amazing to me with the one-button timer start and I love the scrolling screen, but the vibration alert is what drew my attention to it, but it took a lot of work to find it!
I was considering all these watches exactly because of the vibration alarm and the timer functions for work. You made a fantastic review of these features and a great comparison between the watches. Thank you!
As well as having several dozen Swiss Army Knives, i also have several dozen Casios. They're literally the Swiss Army Knives of the watch world. Great video like always, Anne.
Dude, yes, Jonathan! I was going to make a video called, Casio is the Victorinox of watches... but since Victorinox makes watches, too, I thought that would get confusing.
Vibration alarms are the best. I have had smartwatches for 10 years, my ex and I almost never had the same schedule, my alarm would wake her & my phone Vibration on my nightstand will wake up the whole house. So Vibration alarm is great.
Wow, what a great review. You should get paid by Cassio for this video. This is great presentation and comparison. You have helped me more that I have asked. 😊
This was a really neat comparison! I've never owned a Casio, so it was nice to get all this great info on different options. I think between the three, that mud resist model would be the one I would pick. Cheers, Anne!
That's awesome! Thanks, David. When I was interested in looking at a vibration watch, I wasn't able to find any videos or really any place comparing them to each other. So far, I have managed to avoid buying the W736H. Because I am so happy with the TRT110. Although I really like the colors on the purple and gold W735H.
Don't judge too fast, the TRT-100H is a good watch but the buttons are hard to press due to the mud resist structure. For the avarage watch wearer this might not be an issue but for someone who quite often uses the timer and the stopwatch it's a pita. The W-736H is so much better in that matter, it's not even comparable.
Hi Anne !!! Many years ago !!! I worked in a Medical Center. It was at the beginning of implementation of diagnostic machines such as MRI & CT scanners. Well no one told me if you have a wrist watch with a jewel movement, the magnet in the MRI will destroy your wrist watch. So after some inquiries, I found out the majority of the technicians had G Shocks. So I got one circa 1986, & used it until I retired in 2021. I went through at least 5-6 bands. It went camping, swimming, it was with me in New Orleans during Katrina, Sandy & countless other urban response activations when I Worked for the US Army Corp of Engineers. I consider my G Shock & several other items I have as my EDC/SURAE equipment Special Urban Response Activation Equipment. I never owned a vibrating Casio that you reviewed here but I'm going research them !!! Thanks for another great video & walk down memory lane to years past. Thank You !!! -- Joe --
How, that's awesome! I can't believe you're watch held up - IN the MRI room?? That's amazing. I know some G-shocks are specially listed s magnet resistant. VERY cool. :) ⌚️ ⏱️ 🕛 ⏳️
😁 As an electronics engineer, working with and close to powerfull radio transmitters (and even strong magnets until a few years ago) the magnetic field a watch has to endure was something i looked out for when looking for a watch for work. (-> The relationship between electric and magnetic field was taught in engineering school 🤷♂) Sure the magnetic field i'm in is way less than what an MRI can do, but i remember MRI's making headlines long ago when the induction of the field caused metal particles in tattoos to heat up so much that they left burned scars on patients. Either the power of the MRI's or the frequency or the tattooing machines (or the colours) must have changed, because i haven't seen any sign warning of tattoos in the last decade. Anyways: there are even mechanical watches that are protected against magnetic fields. Some are very expensive, some just at a high pricerange comapred to a g-shock. Manufacturers like IWC or Sinn use a soft iron inner housing that works up to a mangetic field suitable foraround powerfull radio transmission for example, but still not enough for an MRI. And i can tell you that this makes the watch heavy. (i think they are at 0.1Gauss, while an MRI usually is at 3-4) And Omega as far as i read has a few fancy models (much to shiny to use at work) where they changed the materialy of the movment so the magnetic field doesn't matter much. No idea if they changed the material of the hand to though) And as a user of such a Sinn watch, i still put on my G-shock when i have an MRI appointment (not that it happens that often, and i take the watch off in the changing room, but magnetic fields don't always just end at a wooden door ;-) )
My experience with the MRI was in the very beginning of their development & use. In the late 80s & early 90s My last experience with MRIs was 20 years ago & it was 2.0T machine. I didn't have issues inside the gauss line with my GShock LoL.
Thank you for making this video, I was curious about the vibration alarms as I’m going to bootcamp and didn’t want people snapping their necks at me everytime my watch beeps
This is literally a video I was thinking of doing! I've been going down the Casio rabbit hole lately too, and as an EDC fan, they really do fit the bill for everything I want in an EDC item! Great video! I've been thinking about adding one of these as it is, and this helps bump it into my cart. Thanks for running up my Amazon cart, *again*, Anne 😉
@@thevineclimberAlso, warthog is the best analogy I've heard for this look 😂 Definitely agree that the traditional look is just way too bulky looking. Going with the mud resistant
16:41 - the criminally underrated W-110 watch (module 3074) has both vibration alarm and timer auto-repeat. It has also a bunch of other rarely found features.
I bought a GD 350. The delivery is on Thursday. I got it for $50! It was a steal of a deal. Waiting to get my hands on it. This is my fourth Casio, and a second G-Shock. I bought a Casioak (G2100) last year.
Glad you liked it!! These watches are SO useful; but I kind of think i only would have gotten the TRT110H if I had known about it prior to purchasing the W735H. OR maybe I would have just skipped to the GShock!!
I usually use a analog watch to time seizures however I’ve switched to a smart watch and I have bought a stop watch for medical events..hey great video..Thank you for sharing!
Hey Rich - thanks! You know, I have been looking to see that. there are several watches that have a direct entry stopwatch button, where one button push automatically starts a stop watch. That kind of thing would be ideal for your scenario, because you'd be able to start the stopwatch without having to look for an actual physical stopwatch, but if you want the features of a smartwatch, then it wouldn't help! Thanks very much for watching and commenting!
@@thevineclimber there are? That would be an awesome watch..that’s why I got a stopwatch so I’m not messing around with a watch instead of doing other things I need to do in a emergency..
Have owned 2 GD350s. The newest gold GD350 was @ $50 on sale at the Casio outlet a couple months ago, which I picked up. I used the vibration alarm daily M-F as my morning alarm for @ 4 years before I had to replace the battery. I’m currently using the GBX100 which also has the vibration feature but has more flexibility due to its Bluetooth/Move app. Great watches.
@@thevineclimber As much as I like the smaller package and screen of the MIP display for the GBX100, knowing what I know know is it worth 2-3x a GD350? I’d say no. The Bluetooth and Move app that manages it has always been a little buggy for me. When I access my phone to set an alarm it takes 45 seconds or more to ‘connect’ with the watch to make any changes. I’ve learned in low light now how to do on the watch what I need to do without using the app, and once I got that down the Bluetooth benefit is pretty much neutralized. Good watch, but I find I’m wearing the GD350 more.
@@MW-pw9ip interesting! Ease of use is particularly important for watches... I feel that if you cannot get your phone to do what you want, you can still look kind of normal but if you can't get your watch to do what you want, you will look a little strange as you try to make it happen. The GD350 is such a great watch!! ⌚️ interesting - in sure the GBX100 is just right for someone, but for everyone else, it's a little complicated.
Anne I think you're fantastic, vibration alarms are something I'm looking into right now, and you've answered some questions I had. I get through lots of watches so casio's are great. The climber of the watch world, not too expensive but do the job well. I always look forward to your latest video. UPDATE: I've found a Casio warthog for £26 so looks like I'm going for that, I look a bit like a warthog too so the styling is OK for me 😂
I am using pomodoro technique at the office, so I am searching the vibration watch. I am big fan of "traditional" digital watch (or should I call it "dumb watch"? LOL), but not smart watch. W735H, W736H and TRT110H are great for having core productivity functions and good price. GD350 looks premium, but has a THICK body. It might look too big even though on men's wrists. Even my daily watch PRW-3510 pro-trek series (which has triple sensors) is THINNER than GD350! I think it's the size of vibration motor make it so thick. I wish Casio can make future vibe alarm watch with smaller vibration motors using in smart watches and smart phones. Nice review! Cheers!
There is an alternate version of the GD-350, which is the GD-400; this one does not have a dedicated timer pusher nor vibration, but looks even more premium (textured rubber band and case), has many more colorways than the 350, and is slightly larger. Anyway, many people will choose the 350 just for the dedicated timer and vibration functions. Nice video.
I got this watch in a negative display since they said it’s one of the most legible displays, and it is but I will probably get one in a positive as well.
👍🏼very nice looking. I like Casio a lot. I have a few. I’ve actually been using a cheap smart watch for awhile now. It does alot of stuff. While we’re talking watches; I recently discovered Nick Mankey watch bands. Love it! Favorite watch band ever! Good vid👍🏼
As much as I have tried so many different smartwatches and quit using them a couple years ag o because the effort outweighed the benefit for me, I am super curious as to which cheap one you're using that you like. I liked at those watch bands - dang, some of these are EPIC: nickmankeydesigns.com/hd-print-series
@@thevineclimber my watch is a G-wear fashion sport smart watch😆. I can’t remember what it’s insides are; 28H or something like that. The inside working stuff is the same as what Carbinox used to have. It was under $40. Been using it since February. There are videos on it. G wear fashion:) The Nick Mankey is my greatest watch band ever! No flap constantly catching on things. Super comfortable. And order how you want. He is doing them all himself w/part time help so it takes awhile to get. But we’ll worth it. And he sends you update emails. I have an unbox try on vid. My whole life I’ve worn watches under my wrist. More comfy for me. Now I’ve gone to normal on top. 🤷♂️
I came here because i use a gd-350 to wake up every morning. Mines over 10 years old and the band is starting to crack, so time for a replacement. I'm curious if the vibrations feel the same on all 3. The 5th alarm on the gd-350 is a snooze alarm, meaning it will go off every 5 minutes for 30 minutes until you stop it. Also, once the alarm is going off, pressing any button on the watch will stop the alarm, including the light button. I think thats why the timer start button doesn't immediately start the timer again. Because it wants you to stop the alert first. Great video. Thank you!
I am new to your channel and found this playlist on the g-shock and Casio watches ,how affordable they can be I own the twin sensor with compass and have been looking for an affordable first g shock can you recommend anything for a good starter. Thanks for sharing all this wonderful information.
Nice introduction. First time seeing someone explains all these vibration alarm Casio watches in one video. May I know which one gives the strongest vibration? Plan to use it as morning alarm without waking up the partner. Thanks!
Hi! I actually would say that the two less expensive ones are the same and have the stronger vibration - the W735H and the TRT-110H; I assume the W736H would be the same. I think these are really great for that purpose, because the light is also excellent, so it's very easy to see the time.
Must admit, I'd not heard of watches with vibrating alarms but seems an excellent idea ( esp. for reminders) as when you are out and about, you are very unlikely to hear the wimpy beep that these watches produce (I often can't even hear a reminder on my phone due to traffic etc). Unfortunately (for me), all these vibrating models seem to follow a big, bold design aesthetic and I don't really go for that. But now I know they exist, I'll keep a look out for one and certainly will be interested if they produce more subtle models.
Cancel does have some models that are more like smartwatches or phone connected watches that also have a vibrating alarm. I don't have the feeling they're really small. But you may want to look at the G-Lide vibrating series which looks the calmest of the bunch!
I can recommend the Timex Urban Command and/or the Casio GBD-200 to you. Two vibrating digital watches but with a significant lower profile that the rest. Though the GBD-200 - while looking great (case and display) - has a piss poor UI, one of the worst I have ever seen on any watch. The Timex on the other hand is pretty straight forward, definitely worth a look.
Really great review, thanks for this! Would you say that the GD350’s vibration alarm is better than the standard Casio watches, or are they just about all the same performance wise?
I don't know if I imagined it, but the Casio w735h-1avef that I bought in Europe, I could have swore it had auto-repeat in the countdown timer... That and the one button access to the timer, are the features I meant.
I've got the 735, it's incredible value for money 👍😆 Your audio is a bit of a problem. You might want to invest in a $10 lapel mic as the camera mic is not doing the job ☹️
Hi great video I have q question How good Is the vibration alarm Casio TRT 110h mud resist ? I need to choose TRT 110 h or w735 Which one Is better about vibration alarm?. Thank
Does the G-Shock timer reset itself after an amount out time, or just stay at 0:00? The timer on both of my G-Shocks(non vibration) will beep for about 5 seconds then reset.
I'm not positive cause I don't recall ever having not hit a button. When you hit a button, it resets for sure. I'll check when I get back in the same place with it!
Oh yes, I know!! You can't beat that kind of class. No comparison! But unfortunately, I'm so much more productive with a digital timer watch, I just can't let go.
I've been wearing it, just over a month, I like the negative screen, just twist your wrist a wee bit and you can easily see the time, even in lowish light, the day, month and date, not so much. I chose the 350 because it vibrates and I like it because it's all black, most G Shocks are brightly coloured, this one you can't tell what it is, the downside is it doesn't fit under a shirt cuff. @@thevineclimber
I was like, naaaaah… what on earth is a timer good for if not sportsing or cooking???… you answered that at 13:30 …omg… I get lost in a black hole on every DIY or motorcycle maintenance task ever… a timer could be insurance against one day never returning. 😄
Timers can come in handy in other scenarios too: At work i sometimes have to get a clearance for working on a system, and when i call the repsonsible person we negotiate a timeframe. (for 2 hours, half an hour, 20 minutes...) And timers are handy with that, cause with one look you know how much time you got left.
@@thevineclimber 😁 I wouldn't call taking a break mundane. Breaks are very important. IF done right, they are good for productivity, and health of the person. (and better health of the worker equals to fewer mistakes and more productivity) And the workplace psychologist (my translation) we had, explained to us that the most important thing in a break is to not think about work you take the break from. ->Where i am from companies big enough (my employer has around 1k employees) arrange for "workplace medical assistance" or at least i would translate it as that. We get a normal doctor visiting around least 3-4 times a year where she either does vaccinations (tick borne encyphalitis, flue...) which then don't cost us anything. ->for those employees that have to work outside a certain amount of time the "tick vaccine" is free. Or does other short fast things that could help. And then we also got a psychologist visiting as often talking to us in group or single (if one wants/needs that). Or doing short lectures about things like techniques that could help with stress etc.
@@nirfz Wow, that sounds really good. And I would have to think that someone visiting that infrequently would probably more than pay for themselves in terms of better health and productivity. It seems like something that should be achievable in many places, I have seen or heard of things along those lines at larger companies. I think it would be really good for more places to have here because I do see that even really good companies which provide very good insurance, often have employees who work so much that they are not able to attend doctors appointments regularly. We meet them sometimes in the hospital or on the ambulance after it is a bit too late to prevent the problems.
The regular electro-luminescent illuminator looks better, as it's a perfectly even (but dimmer) light. The corner hotspots of the super illuminator make it look like a low quality watch, IMO. I haven't had one for a while, but I remember the indiglo light being much brighter than my casio 9052, for example. Timex is out for me, though, as their budget watches all have acrylic lenses.
@@thevineclimber Thank you. Maybe they'll look different in person. I'm just getting back into digital watches. The basic orange one-sided backlights are what most watches had when I was younger.
@@thevineclimber Looks like an otherwise nice watch. Didn't know any of the basic casio's had a step tracker. You would have thought the proper, actually bright, green EL backlight of the indiglo watches would be the inspiration for other brands, bet yet no one is innovating.
I will try to get back here with a good answer. But whenever you wonder, you can search for the model number along with the word casio and on the cassio website they have a copy of the manual. Many times it's by holding the adjust upper left button on the timekeeping screen.
Does the vibration alarm continue until acknowledged? The Casio I have only has an audible alarm that quits beeping before it awakens me. If your watches persist then that would be a game changer for me.
@@bombfog1Have you tried one of them with a snooze alarm? Maybe you could wake up with this news alarm because I think it just restarts in 5 minutes or something.
I am Casio addict .. to the level that I might need therapy later However I must say, some of these watches are so freaking big you can use it as spare tyre - I don’t know how people wear it
Not that I have been able to find. The W735H, W736H, and TRT110H all have a single press restart, though. That is, when the alarm is going off, you can just press the bottom R button once to stop the alarm and start a new timer with the same duration. I assume the reason is because it would eat through batteries too much if you forgot and left it on.
Thank you so much for the quick response. The idea is to have a break reminder after every 30 minutes that is set to auto repeat. I have tried smart watches but they always fails to alert on time. Do you think there would be any other watch options for me ?
@alanthomas1661 I think you MIGHT be happy with the one button reset on the W735H, W736H, andTRT110H. It forces you to acknowledge that the break has started and then automatically resets for 30 minutes when you push the button; it's just one button push though so I feel like that's reasonable. I love the vibration alarms because they don't interrupt everyone around me. I don't know of a single watch with auto repeat vibration alarms though. If you do happen to find one, please come back here and leave a message. Cause I'll definitely go by one!!
Not from Casio but if you don't mind the cash, you might want to take a look at the Garmin Instinct which vibrates for a full minute, or Timex watches with vibe repeat indefinetely (only 10 seconds /7 burst at the time though)
10 years battery is actually a pretty stupid advertisement (marketing crap in my opinion). it depends of course on how often you use the light and the vibe/beep alarm but even if you don't at all, the battery might hold 10 years (or longer it is a CR2032 after all) but I can 100% assure you, the strap won't. The straps usually last two, three maybe four years and buying a new one is often nearly the price of a new watch.....

Thank you for making this video, I was curious about the vibration alarms as I’m going to bootcamp and didn’t want people snapping their necks at me everytime my watch beeps
Lol that's great! Certainly not the place to draw attention to yourself! Good luck! Make some amazing memories!
Which model did you select?
Both, this 'Mud Resist" and the "G-Shock" are really a serious option for a next adquisition for me.
Thank you, again, for your advices.
Saludos!
Absolutely! I hope it's helpful!
Thank you for making this video I always wanted a video like this
That's awesome! You're welcome! These watches are SO functional.
The stopwatch does also have a 5 sec countdown start feature too
This is literally a video I was thinking of doing! I've been going down the Casio rabbit hole lately too, and as an EDC fan, they really do fit the bill for everything I want in an EDC item! Great video! I've been thinking about adding one of these as it is, and this helps bump it into my cart. Thanks for running up my Amazon cart, *again*, Anne 😉
Lol! Hey, let's make a Casio video together!
@@thevineclimber 100% would be down to collaborate!
@@thevineclimberAlso, warthog is the best analogy I've heard for this look 😂 Definitely agree that the traditional look is just way too bulky looking. Going with the mud resistant
The only downside is that it's harder to push the button. But I don't think it's a deal breaker by any means.
@@thevineclimber some of the other models are the same, so a little Casio fiddling isn't out of the norm. Especially for the form and function.
Thankfully for the video. I only knew of 2 models that vibrated.
Oh I'm so glad! Thanks for the comment!!
16:41 - the criminally underrated W-110 watch (module 3074) has both vibration alarm and timer auto-repeat. It has also a bunch of other rarely found features.
I do own several Casios. As an 80’s child I enjoy the old school digi watches. They get more wrist time then my automatics & iwatch 😂
Lol yes, they are so appealing!!
Thank you for putting all together, BD 350 is the one to go for I guess
I do love it!! But it costs more... makes no difference if you will mostly use them to wake up in the morning, IMO.
I bought a GD 350. The delivery is on Thursday. I got it for $50! It was a steal of a deal. Waiting to get my hands on it. This is my fourth Casio, and a second G-Shock. I bought a Casioak (G2100) last year.
thank you. amazing explanation
Glad you liked it!! These watches are SO useful; but I kind of think i only would have gotten the TRT110H if I had known about it prior to purchasing the W735H. OR maybe I would have just skipped to the GShock!!
Super helpful!
I’m looking for a vibration Casio for task management.
Yes they are wonderful when you are around other people!
Timex vibe alarm watch also rocks. Them vibe and light when alarms go off. And sound too.
Oh yeah, man do I love my two Timex Command Shock's 🙂
Woah. I to a look at those watches.... VERY nice!!!! Thank you for telling me about them!!!
I usually use a analog watch to time seizures however I’ve switched to a smart watch and I have bought a stop watch for medical events..hey great video..Thank you for sharing!
Hey Rich - thanks! You know, I have been looking to see that. there are several watches that have a direct entry stopwatch button, where one button push automatically starts a stop watch. That kind of thing would be ideal for your scenario, because you'd be able to start the stopwatch without having to look for an actual physical stopwatch, but if you want the features of a smartwatch, then it wouldn't help!
Thanks very much for watching and commenting!
@@thevineclimber there are? That would be an awesome watch..that’s why I got a stopwatch so I’m not messing around with a watch instead of doing other things I need to do in a emergency..
@@thevineclimber no the smartwatch is really for notifications and step tracking..I’d switch for a watch with a direct stopwatch
@TBEDC Rich! Finally! Here's your answer. The GA 700. You'll love this one - It's all black! www.casio.com/us/watches/gshock/product.GA-700-1B/
Have owned 2 GD350s. The newest gold GD350 was @ $50 on sale at the Casio outlet a couple months ago, which I picked up. I used the vibration alarm daily M-F as my morning alarm for @ 4 years before I had to replace the battery. I’m currently using the GBX100 which also has the vibration feature but has more flexibility due to its Bluetooth/Move app. Great watches.
Thank you for the comment. I am particularly interested that you have a GBX 100. Are the benefits of that much Bluetooth worth the drawbacks?
@@thevineclimber As much as I like the smaller package and screen of the MIP display for the GBX100, knowing what I know know is it worth 2-3x a GD350? I’d say no. The Bluetooth and Move app that manages it has always been a little buggy for me. When I access my phone to set an alarm it takes 45 seconds or more to ‘connect’ with the watch to make any changes. I’ve learned in low light now how to do on the watch what I need to do without using the app, and once I got that down the Bluetooth benefit is pretty much neutralized. Good watch, but I find I’m wearing the GD350 more.
@@MW-pw9ip interesting! Ease of use is particularly important for watches... I feel that if you cannot get your phone to do what you want, you can still look kind of normal but if you can't get your watch to do what you want, you will look a little strange as you try to make it happen. The GD350 is such a great watch!! ⌚️ interesting - in sure the GBX100 is just right for someone, but for everyone else, it's a little complicated.
Great review
Thank you! I love these watches, and I couldn't find much information about them all together.
Anne I think you're fantastic, vibration alarms are something I'm looking into right now, and you've answered some questions I had. I get through lots of watches so casio's are great. The climber of the watch world, not too expensive but do the job well. I always look forward to your latest video. UPDATE: I've found a Casio warthog for £26 so looks like I'm going for that, I look a bit like a warthog too so the styling is OK for me 😂
Excellent!! Glad you found such a good deal! :) feel free to mention the site in case others are looking!
Oh it's only Argos (catalogue store) over here in the UK. I've noticed often that they slightly undercut Amazon on things like watches.
@TimB1167 Nice! I hope to take a trip to the UK someday and lol I want to shop there!
I am using pomodoro technique at the office, so I am searching the vibration watch. I am big fan of "traditional" digital watch (or should I call it "dumb watch"? LOL), but not smart watch. W735H, W736H and TRT110H are great for having core productivity functions and good price. GD350 looks premium, but has a THICK body. It might look too big even though on men's wrists. Even my daily watch PRW-3510 pro-trek series (which has triple sensors) is THINNER than GD350! I think it's the size of vibration motor make it so thick. I wish Casio can make future vibe alarm watch with smaller vibration motors using in smart watches and smart phones. Nice review! Cheers!
I followed for the SAK content but I also love Casio watches lol this rules
Lol this was an accidental rabbit hole... I'll let you know if I ever find the bottom!!
There is an alternate version of the GD-350, which is the GD-400; this one does not have a dedicated timer pusher nor vibration, but looks even more premium (textured rubber band and case), has many more colorways than the 350, and is slightly larger. Anyway, many people will choose the 350 just for the dedicated timer and vibration functions. Nice video.
Thanks! I tool a look at the GD400 - WOW some VERY cool looking colorways! Thanks for sharing!
I got this watch in a negative display since they said it’s one of the most legible displays, and it is but I will probably get one in a positive as well.
After I made this video I ended up getting a TRT110H in a negative display, and while it's pretty good, I really do prefer the positive ones.
👍🏼very nice looking. I like Casio a lot. I have a few. I’ve actually been using a cheap smart watch for awhile now. It does alot of stuff. While we’re talking watches; I recently discovered Nick Mankey watch bands. Love it! Favorite watch band ever!
Good vid👍🏼
As much as I have tried so many different smartwatches and quit using them a couple years ag
o because the effort outweighed the benefit for me, I am super curious as to which cheap one you're using that you like.
I liked at those watch bands - dang, some of these are EPIC: nickmankeydesigns.com/hd-print-series
@@thevineclimber my watch is a G-wear fashion sport smart watch😆. I can’t remember what it’s insides are; 28H or something like that. The inside working stuff is the same as what Carbinox used to have. It was under $40. Been using it since February. There are videos on it. G wear fashion:)
The Nick Mankey is my greatest watch band ever! No flap constantly catching on things. Super comfortable. And order how you want. He is doing them all himself w/part time help so it takes awhile to get. But we’ll worth it. And he sends you update emails. I have an unbox try on vid. My whole life I’ve worn watches under my wrist. More comfy for me. Now I’ve gone to normal on top. 🤷♂️
@@andrewfett142Thank you, Andrew!
I came here because i use a gd-350 to wake up every morning. Mines over 10 years old and the band is starting to crack, so time for a replacement. I'm curious if the vibrations feel the same on all 3. The 5th alarm on the gd-350 is a snooze alarm, meaning it will go off every 5 minutes for 30 minutes until you stop it. Also, once the alarm is going off, pressing any button on the watch will stop the alarm, including the light button. I think thats why the timer start button doesn't immediately start the timer again. Because it wants you to stop the alert first. Great video. Thank you!
I am new to your channel and found this playlist on the g-shock and Casio watches ,how affordable they can be
I own the twin sensor with compass and have been looking for an affordable first g shock can you recommend anything for a good starter.
Thanks for sharing all this wonderful information.
Nice introduction. First time seeing someone explains all these vibration alarm Casio watches in one video. May I know which one gives the strongest vibration? Plan to use it as morning alarm without waking up the partner.
Thanks!
Hi! I actually would say that the two less expensive ones are the same and have the stronger vibration - the W735H and the TRT-110H; I assume the W736H would be the same. I think these are really great for that purpose, because the light is also excellent, so it's very easy to see the time.
got the 350 off ebay in pretty used condition for $40 so i’m not mad. just hope it’s not too big for my little wrist. love the watch tho!
It fits my little wrist very comfortably!
Ann. The warthog version was in Mission impossible 2
No way!! Lol oh well, there's no accounting for taste!
If your a fan of digital watches I'd recommend taking a look at Timex's Ironman and boost lines.
Oh I thank you so much. I have really been wanting to figure out what to look at from the Timex watches.
I prefer the Timex Expedition digital series over the Ironman series.
Must admit, I'd not heard of watches with vibrating alarms but seems an excellent idea ( esp. for reminders) as when you are out and about, you are very unlikely to hear the wimpy beep that these watches produce (I often can't even hear a reminder on my phone due to traffic etc).
Unfortunately (for me), all these vibrating models seem to follow a big, bold design aesthetic and I don't really go for that. But now I know they exist, I'll keep a look out for one and certainly will be interested if they produce more subtle models.
Cancel does have some models that are more like smartwatches or phone connected watches that also have a vibrating alarm. I don't have the feeling they're really small. But you may want to look at the G-Lide vibrating series which looks the calmest of the bunch!
I can recommend the Timex Urban Command and/or the Casio GBD-200 to you. Two vibrating digital watches but with a significant lower profile that the rest. Though the GBD-200 - while looking great (case and display) - has a piss poor UI, one of the worst I have ever seen on any watch. The Timex on the other hand is pretty straight forward, definitely worth a look.
Really great review, thanks for this! Would you say that the GD350’s vibration alarm is better than the standard Casio watches, or are they just about all the same performance wise?
I would say they are about the same. They all wake me up, but I set a back-up alarm anyway!
Which one of these looks best on small wrist?
Great watches. Amazing that the GD350 doesn't have the features these guys have.
Kind of weird, right?
Not sure what you are refering to, but the GD-350 has everything the others also have.....
I don't know if I imagined it, but the Casio w735h-1avef that I bought in Europe, I could have swore it had auto-repeat in the countdown timer... That and the one button access to the timer, are the features I meant.
I've got the 735, it's incredible value for money 👍😆
Your audio is a bit of a problem.
You might want to invest in a $10 lapel mic as the camera mic is not doing the job ☹️
Thank you! I will look into it. I recorded in my kitchen because I was lazy. That always sounds worse. :(
Hi great video
I have q question
How good Is the vibration alarm Casio TRT 110h mud resist ?
I need to choose TRT 110 h or w735
Which one Is better about vibration alarm?.
Thank
Thank you for asking. I think that they are the same! Hope it's helpful!
cool❤❤
Thanks!
Can the timer be set for 30 seconds?
If you still have the gd350-1c, would you sell it to me?
Great video, thank you but next time kindly please set the timer to 5-10 seconds :)
Lol good point!!
2023 Black Friday deals has a black gold theme G-Shock GD-350
Yes!! For like $60 USD, too! So pretty. :)
Does the G-Shock timer reset itself after an amount out time, or just stay at 0:00? The timer on both of my G-Shocks(non vibration) will beep for about 5 seconds then reset.
I'm not positive cause I don't recall ever having not hit a button. When you hit a button, it resets for sure. I'll check when I get back in the same place with it!
It resets to the value whatever you put in but it does NOT (auto) repeat.
Hi Anne, interesting watches. To be honest I still prefer my Seiko SKX.😊
Oh yes, I know!! You can't beat that kind of class. No comparison! But unfortunately, I'm so much more productive with a digital timer watch, I just can't let go.
Hi Anne, just fair
Tell us all about the alarm on the SKX then ? LoL
It's like a car and a motorbike, they're not comparable.
@@edwardfletcher7790 my mechanical Fortis B-42 has a mechanical alarm 🤣
@@marcelpfeiffer6587No WAY!!
G Shock GD350 1ber owner here.
Nice! The all black edition. How is the negative screen on this one?
I've been wearing it, just over a month, I like the negative screen, just twist your wrist a wee bit and you can easily see the time, even in lowish light, the day, month and date, not so much. I chose the 350 because it vibrates and I like it because it's all black, most G Shocks are brightly coloured, this one you can't tell what it is, the downside is it doesn't fit under a shirt cuff. @@thevineclimber
I was like, naaaaah… what on earth is a timer good for if not sportsing or cooking???… you answered that at 13:30 …omg… I get lost in a black hole on every DIY or motorcycle maintenance task ever… a timer could be insurance against one day never returning. 😄
ROFL yes!! Also good for the opposite. I hate doing dishes so I say I'll start now and just do it for 5 minutes!
Timers can come in handy in other scenarios too: At work i sometimes have to get a clearance for working on a system, and when i call the repsonsible person we negotiate a timeframe. (for 2 hours, half an hour, 20 minutes...) And timers are handy with that, cause with one look you know how much time you got left.
@@nirfzThat's interesting! On a much more mundane level, they're also good for timing a break.
@@thevineclimber 😁 I wouldn't call taking a break mundane. Breaks are very important. IF done right, they are good for productivity, and health of the person.
(and better health of the worker equals to fewer mistakes and more productivity)
And the workplace psychologist (my translation) we had, explained to us that the most important thing in a break is to not think about work you take the break from.
->Where i am from companies big enough (my employer has around 1k employees) arrange for "workplace medical assistance" or at least i would translate it as that.
We get a normal doctor visiting around least 3-4 times a year where she either does vaccinations (tick borne encyphalitis, flue...) which then don't cost us anything. ->for those employees that have to work outside a certain amount of time the "tick vaccine" is free.
Or does other short fast things that could help.
And then we also got a psychologist visiting as often talking to us in group or single (if one wants/needs that). Or doing short lectures about things like techniques that could help with stress etc.
@@nirfz Wow, that sounds really good. And I would have to think that someone visiting that infrequently would probably more than pay for themselves in terms of better health and productivity. It seems like something that should be achievable in many places, I have seen or heard of things along those lines at larger companies. I think it would be really good for more places to have here because I do see that even really good companies which provide very good insurance, often have employees who work so much that they are not able to attend doctors appointments regularly. We meet them sometimes in the hospital or on the ambulance after it is a bit too late to prevent the problems.
The regular electro-luminescent illuminator looks better, as it's a perfectly even (but dimmer) light. The corner hotspots of the super illuminator make it look like a low quality watch, IMO. I haven't had one for a while, but I remember the indiglo light being much brighter than my casio 9052, for example. Timex is out for me, though, as their budget watches all have acrylic lenses.
Well, you are more well-informed than I am! I love the Indiglo lights too. But all of these are very legible and look great, IMO.
@@thevineclimber Thank you. Maybe they'll look different in person. I'm just getting back into digital watches. The basic orange one-sided backlights are what most watches had when I was younger.
@sumdood2035 yeah, they put that light in my favorite Casio watch, the LWS2200h. Such a disappointment!
@@thevineclimber Looks like an otherwise nice watch. Didn't know any of the basic casio's had a step tracker. You would have thought the proper, actually bright, green EL backlight of the indiglo watches would be the inspiration for other brands, bet yet no one is innovating.
@@sumdood2035 casio is always coming out with new watches, but not much change with the lighting options...
How do I turn off the beeps?
I will try to get back here with a good answer. But whenever you wonder, you can search for the model number along with the word casio and on the cassio website they have a copy of the manual. Many times it's by holding the adjust upper left button on the timekeeping screen.
Does the vibration alarm continue until acknowledged? The Casio I have only has an audible alarm that quits beeping before it awakens me. If your watches persist then that would be a game changer for me.
Nope! They stop after a couple seconds.
@@thevineclimber Bummer. Thanks for letting me know!
@@bombfog1Have you tried one of them with a snooze alarm? Maybe you could wake up with this news alarm because I think it just restarts in 5 minutes or something.
@@thevineclimber Sweet. I’ll look into that.
Hello. I wonder if none of the "square" casios have vibration alarms???
Baby G series is the epic casio for ladies
Yes, and they now have the GShock Womem series, too. There are some great colors and shrunk down styles that are awesome!
I am Casio addict .. to the level that I might need therapy later
However I must say, some of these watches are so freaking big you can use it as spare tyre - I don’t know how people wear it
Aaaah hahaha That is so funny. I mean, this is an EDC item with tons of uses including spare tire. Doesn't that just increase the value?
Is there a watch with vibration alarm and auto repeat feature
Not that I have been able to find. The W735H, W736H, and TRT110H all have a single press restart, though. That is, when the alarm is going off, you can just press the bottom R button once to stop the alarm and start a new timer with the same duration. I assume the reason is because it would eat through batteries too much if you forgot and left it on.
Thank you so much for the quick response. The idea is to have a break reminder after every 30 minutes that is set to auto repeat. I have tried smart watches but they always fails to alert on time. Do you think there would be any other watch options for me ?
@alanthomas1661 I think you MIGHT be happy with the one button reset on the W735H, W736H, andTRT110H. It forces you to acknowledge that the break has started and then automatically resets for 30 minutes when you push the button; it's just one button push though so I feel like that's reasonable. I love the vibration alarms because they don't interrupt everyone around me. I don't know of a single watch with auto repeat vibration alarms though. If you do happen to find one, please come back here and leave a message. Cause I'll definitely go by one!!
Not from Casio but if you don't mind the cash, you might want to take a look at the Garmin Instinct which vibrates for a full minute, or Timex watches with vibe repeat indefinetely (only 10 seconds /7 burst at the time though)
@@LV-42617thank you, will check these out
Cairo gold and Black,
Type not a w736 H
10 years battery life on these cheaper Casios better than the g shocks
So true. And I really think the TRT110 is a rather eye-catching style!
10 years battery is actually a pretty stupid advertisement (marketing crap in my opinion). it depends of course on how often you use the light and the vibe/beep alarm but even if you don't at all, the battery might hold 10 years (or longer it is a CR2032 after all) but I can 100% assure you, the strap won't. The straps usually last two, three maybe four years and buying a new one is often nearly the price of a new watch.....
