Ok, I don't feel so bad now.
For $60 the GShock is a pretty durable watch. I think the only reason it leaked so bad was the last time I had the battery replaced the person who did it for me didn't install the case back gasket correctly as I discovered earlier today when I took it apart to view all of the rust.
I think it probably would have lasted another 10 years to finish off my 20 years of state service if it had been reassembled correctly.. I was actually hoping that was going to happen so I could brag about wearing the same watch to work for 20 years for $60.
