I wanted to pick up another sport band to go with my original black rubber Apple Sport band for my series 4. I would prefer not to spend 50 bucks on another band but I do understand sometimes, it might be best to spend the extra cash on a quality band. There's a a few top sellers on Amazon that get great review, but I try to read all the negative reviews and there is some question about durability. So is there a brand that is recommend if you decide to get a third party band?

EDIT - feel free to move this I mistakenly posted this in the wrong Apple Watch forum. Thanks.

Sport band = no good 3rd party options (at least for me). All the ones I’ve found collect lint and the “silicone” rubs my wrist raw on the sides.. the Apple bands CAN do this as well if I don’t keep them clean, but I didn’t react as bad to them. If the silicone doesn’t bother you, I think they are all pretty much the same... I have a couple of different brands and I don’t think one feels drastically different than another.

I’ve purchased a sport loop from AliExpress to see how I like it.
