This. I long for the days when I could buy something at sub £1k and use it with no pressure or worries. It's something that I always too for granted. Anything at that kind of price range in Canada is a deathtrap/absolutely rotten or (usually) both.
I'm in a similar position. Not really tried to get an accurate reading if how bad mine is loosing time but I don't want to open it up and loose/compromise it's waterproofness so I'm living with it.
