dive computer air bubbles

[GJ DIVER]

I have an air bubble in my wrist dive computer. I bought my first computer, an Aladin Air Nitrox Z, from a dive shop but found often I wished I had a backup so my partner would not only have a computer but have one I was familiar with in case they weren't. (Mostly my wife and kids). I figured it also never hurts to have a spare. The Aladin pro ultra seemed a good choice and it was well discounted on internet buys making it palatable for my depleted resources. The problem is I am on my fourth unit and they have all come with small to large bubbles in them. I live at 7000' elevation so I'm sure they are fine when they are shipped. The latest one is only the size of a BB or smaller. Will this be a problem or should I send it back for good. This would mean no extra computer because it will be awhile before I could cough up the extra 200 to buy it elsewhere.

I think you should call the manufacturer and ask them. A small air bubble (aside from not being normal) could make the pressure-casing more vulnerable to cracking; however, they're pretty over-engineered so it might not be a problem.
