I'm just wondering if there is ANY common thread at all with the watches exhibiting this problem.
Those who have had this problem, was you watch the JDM model, or the ER release?

This is very sad to here as I really like the 9300 Mudman a lot and was planning on picking one up. It's a nice looking watch. Wanted to get the Japan model with Atomic. I don't think I'm going to buy one now as the Japan version is quite expensive.
Yes it does seem that the more complex things get with features the more ways they can go wrong. You are right a standard 5600 or 6900 is probably the most reliable out of all the G-Shocks since they are so basic.
I'm think I will buy a new standard 6900 for ultimate reliability and add a Suunto compass to the band. Then I'll have the toughest and most reliable compass watch available. Unfortunately this combo will be close to the price of the 9300 Mudman.

Between this model resetting and the Rangeman experiencing some broken/snapped lugs, it may be best to stick with the good old reliable models.

it doesnt reset this morning... so i dont know the element that make it reset it self... i'm thinking of doing AC reset or swap the battery with my ws220..
well, i'll do the AC reset today to eliminate this one as the issue... if the problem come back latter... i'll update this post...
I'm with rocat... i'll stick to my humble DW5600 or screwback 5030c... it is the most basic features g-shock that i never encounter any glitch and definately reliable... the steelcase of the screwback also eliminates lug fail problem...
i search about the problem last night and it is pretty common and randomly happened to G/GW9300... seem that it is sensitive to radio or even cellphone radiation ...
to bad it happened to this one... it was one of my fav G that i used to recommend very often... what a let down issue..
