If you need strap that will hold up, go with something like a nato or a dive strap. I am not a fan of velcro especially if you get sand in it. Just do a search and you can find them cheap.
I agree with using something like a seal watch to fish with rather than a plastic beater. I consider my watches as tools and they should be used for what they were intended. I wear a Tissot T-Touch that I've had for years that has temperature, compass, and barometric pressure functions. As long as it has a saphire crystal, I would not worry about scratching the crystal. The case on the other hand will get scratched.
