You have advertised Watch 5 Pro with a strap, but the customer has to pay separately for the strap, not only that, it is last year's strap belongs to watch 4.

So Samsung CEO, when you went to buy your last car, did it come with 4 wheels or you had to pay separately so you could drive it home.

To me you are breaking every advertising ethics and rules

Both my Gear s³ Frontier and the Samsung Watch⁴ Classic I purchased came with a standard rubber style strap.

As far as I'm aware from recent unboxings the watch does come with a standard type watch strap.

Samsung gives the option to buy alternative straps to use.

For example for my Watch⁴ Classic I purchased the leather hybrid black strap @IndiW

Can you post a screenshot of your order obviously blurring out any personal information @IndiW 

I've just gone into the Samsung Online Shop UK to set up a pre order and it's not pushing a strap to buy.

In the box I'm confident there will be a standard strap as per all the unboxings I've watched.

From https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-watch-5-pro-price-specs-availability 

The standard Galaxy Watch 5 comes with a similar sports band option to the Galaxy Watch 4. The Pro model gains a more secure D-buckle band that looks particularly premium and provides a more secure fit. "
