If it's got very fancy colors it's a shitty plastic throwaway product. Shimano pedals are not fancy but they are cheap for what they are and built to survive a nuclear war.

It has fancy colors and made of anodized aluminum. There is zero plastic in it.

Looks like you've gotten a good product for your use case. But flat pedals like that are generally intended for mountain bikes and I bet I know which of those two products is more likely to shatter into pieces if it glances off a rock.
