I have a CASIO G-SHOCK that I bought at Venture for $35 (1/2 price).
It has a lot of good features and I've noticed a few abnormalities:
While ice sailing last winter @ -30 with a windchill of -60, I noticed
a little condensation under the crystal. As soon as I got warmed up,
it went away. Sometimes on the hour the alarm goes off at about 1/5
the volume when the alarm is intentionally set. I was getting a rash
under the wrist band but when I loosened it up a little, it was
fine. The day of the week field is "bleeding" a little. In spite
of these anomalies, the watch keeps good time and all the functions
appear as advertised.
