The strap is only 2 months old and it's cracking, will this fall of the wrist? Has to be a defect...

Just contact your AD or AP directly - this isn't normal. The straps are of meant for years of use.

Perhaps either can offer a replacement.

Good luck.

Straps are considered consumables – I doubt they’d suggest a timeframe, just stating it as “variable”.
The indication is that the plasticky paint used on the edge has failed (possibly due to excessive flexing) by doesn’t mean the integrity of the rest of the strap is compromised.
It’d be considered unsightly, but not detrimental to the usage of the watch – however, a decent AD should accept it’s not the norm and warrants replacing.
