I ordered a sport band off Amazon for ten bucks. It was a little thinner and a lower quality silicone than an Apple sport band but, i am very satisfied.

I’m taking a chance on this one, should be here by Tuesday. This is the first one I have seen, hope it’s similar to Apple’s since everyone raves about the comfort.

As someone who owns a good amount of Apple OEM bands and third party bands of all sorts. Third party bands are very similar in resemblance of the authentic Apple Watch bands, but they will never meet or exceed the quality of Apples bands.

But for what Apple charges for an OEM band, most just want something that looks similar and has decent quality. A lot of third-party bands meet those expectations for many. I always tend to read reviews first.

Very true. I definitely prefer the oem bands and will pay the price to get them in most cases. The material quality, craftsmanship and attention to detail is worth it to me. Admittedly, there are knock-offs that are very good at bargain prices.
