I agree and I actually got a 15% discount from Timex, so that really does make it a good deal.
As for the strap, there's not a thing wrong with it. It's very soft and comfortable and does exactly what it's supposed to do.
One might complain that it's a bit shiny, but my experience with watch straps that come with watches in this range is that they tend to start out shiny and then take on a more matte finish as time passes.
I have zero problem with it, but if I did, I'd just buy a strap I like better and switch it out.
