Rubber wrist bands are preferable to metal if you are going to be outside in extreme temperatures. You don’t have to spend Rolex money for one either; Maratac, Vostok and other utilitarian brands are in the 100 to 400 range.
Secondary market Marathon TSAR - $400 to $450 in good shape - on rubber strap. It's a bit thick so can definitely snag on stuff. But the tritium is awesome. Also build like a tank.
