Does the 735XT like water? Three watches suggest "no".

The 735XT has been an excellent watch in every respect except for its susceptibility to water damage.  I pool swim twice a week and open water swim/surf once or more a week.  My first 735XT lasted six months.  It was under warranty and Garmin replaced it.  The second watch crapped out after another six months.  Garmin charged me $100 presumably for a refurbished model.  That one just died after a bay swim.  I could have run into some bad luck, or this pattern may suggest a flaw.  This may be the perfect watch for you if you don't swim, though i've seen comments from people who believe water from the shower damages the watch.
