No, please dont subject your Ball automatics to the same kind of shocks as Casio G-shock watches. An automatic movement will never be as tough as a quartz movement, whats more a quartz movement housed in a G-shock case.
The radioactive material in the gas tube will decay and the lume is supposedly usable for approx 25 years (gradually losing its lume with time). When the lume runs out, according to Ball, the tubes can be replaced for a reasonable fee.

I understand that the lume is powered by gas tubes, what happens when the gas runs out? Don't know if I'm stating this correctly.
