So I have the 42mm Sport and I'm wondering what the best third party Milanese loop band is. I've seen a few on Amazon like these:

There are also some with standard clasps instead of magnets. So has anybody actually ordered some of these, and are they good for the price?

The one from Apple is really awesome... and it's one of their cheaper bands. I don't think many people have felt the need to go with a third party one.

I know I didn't! I'm loving my Apple Milanese Band!

I know the Apple one would be awesome; but I don't want to spend $150 on it. I'd rather get one for around $30 that isn't as good quality, cause I swap my bands out frequently. I have 2 different colored sport bands and use a different one almost every day, so since I'm not using it all the time, I'd rather not spend a ton of money on it.
 
Honestly, they are all probably the exact same thing. From my experience in buying third party accessories, even if the pictures/descriptions look different, they are probably from the same factory in China. Go for the cheapest one! :)
