There's been a real dip in strap quality. I remember the only thing that would kill one was complete destruction(crushing) or simply losing it.
Ones I've purchased in past 5~ years all have had straps fail. They've clearly switched to cheaper materials.
They made a new model 'W-217H', which is just a larger F91W. I enjoyed the larger face and wouldn't go back to a F91. But the strap too broke a few months after use.
And like you said, with the cheapest of straps being almost the cost of the watch, and there's no guarantee it'll easily fit.
