Shiny SMP attracting sharks?

Sharks and barracudas can be attracted to shiny objects, like an SMP, particularly in low visibility water.

Therefore, it would seem to me, that for sport diving, one would prefer a plastic watch and band to eliminate this (albeit small) possibility.

So the SMP is a great watch to *show* you dive, but is it really the one you want on your wrist when you are down there?

My Ironman hasn't failed me yet while diving. I haven't been attacked by finned predators, either.
