I ordered an Orange Monster with the metal bracelet as I've read to always go for that option when available. Why? You can always pick up extra leather/rubber/etc., straps for cheaper later. Surely enough, a week after getting the OM, I ordered the rubber strap and I'm not sure if I'll even put the bracelet back on now... great looking strap! It is just a little longer than I'd prefer. I'm 6'2", but don't have very wide wrists, leaving almost an inch of strap hanging past the strap loop. Other than that, with a funky face like the OM, I feel the black rubber strap completes the look more than the bracelet did. I usually cycle through my collection every few days (or for specific events), but I've been wearing this for the last month non stop. Love it!
