I wonder how tough the plastic strap is against wear (sweat, weather conditions, environmental conditions). I now have the xlander with the leader strap and i don't have to worry about losing my watch cause of that. the plastic strap or rubber if you like could dry out and tear. All three the models have (in my opinion) that constraint. The stainless steel strap is not completely stainless steel as is the same with the titanium strap.
On the other hand most diving watches come with such a plastic strap, so there must be a reason chosing plastic over leather or metal.
Can someone respond to this?
