The "Plastic" or Elastomer Strap on the Elastomer Observer model is very durable. It has holes in the strap to help dry sweat & water moisture that gets underneath the band. I would find it pretty difficult to abuse & tear this strap. If you did tear this strap, your wrist would have taken some serious abuse that you would be more concerned about.

The Observer is 1/3 smaller in both diameter and width than the first generation Suunto Watches (Vector, Altimax, etc). It also features a chronograph, which previously was only offered in the Navitech but is now discontinued.
