My Gshock just goes on forever. However the straps dont last. The resin strap is starting to split on my GW-M5600. This is the second strap I've worn.out. OEM replacent straps are dirt cheap but wondered if the more expensive metal composite strap is comfortable and a worthwhile upgrade?

I think you’re referring to 5600 not 6500, and in my experience the composite bracelet is both comfortable and tough - though personally I’ve never had a rubber strap split in the way you describe. If you do order a bracelet make sure it comes with the correct, slightly shorter springbars or they’re a nightmare to fit!!

The composite bracelet is a remarkably excellent thing, very much recommended.

Slight hijack but with the combi strap which spring bars do you need? I bought a combi strap without spring bars included and I can't get the same ones back in! I read that you need slightly smaller ones but the set I bought from eBay is junk.
