Hi,
I've been diving with an ancient air-integrated Suunto Favor Air Lux since ca 1998 and loved it all the time - it has no fancy functions but does it's job. During a recent trip, though, its wet contact buttons stopped working, I can not go back and check previous dive data etc. Also after diving it gets stuck in some cycle of activities, as if the buttons were pressed all the time. Little attention is all it needs to shut up, though. This is of course annoying but does not in itself prevent using it on dives.
However, I wonder - could it mean that it is somehow breaking internally and now unreliable? I'm on a rather tight budget so I'd prefer not buying a new one if not necessary.
(Yes I've always washed it with fresh water, stored dry and the batteries are fresh
