I-Accessories has knockoffs in Celestial Teal-Black for $25. I just got one in 44mm and it's pretty darn good. I much prefer the real thing, and I'll pay a little more to have it. But sometimes a knockoff is all that's available.

Are they paying you or something? You keep posting about these knockoffs saying nothing but good things.

(not to mention it’s the same silicone trash you can get on AliExpress for $1.50 each)

Nah, I'm just pumped about finding them. Like a kid with his first bicycle.
AliExpress you say? Hmmm...

Wait, what??!?!?!?! I could have paid $1.21 each for all my bands???? Why didn't you tell me about this sooner? I feel so ripped off. Maybe I should just sell all OEM my bands for $5 each and buy these $1.21 ones instead. I would be so ahead.

Already listed, sold, and shipped my collection. AliExpress bands are ordered. When all is said in done, I will have saved about $25 and be left with my pile of silicone trash! So excited.
 
Wait, is this something we do not do - talk about non-OEM bands?
Not outside the 3rd party/knockoff thread, we don’t. I get it, I have knockoff bands too, one of which i am very pleased with because of its quality compared to the real deal (and i simply wont pay what it takes to get the OEM equivalent), but this forum is for OEM stuffs. When you post the same thing in more than one thread, you begin to sound like you are shilling for that company. I don’t think you are, but just sayin’ that its coming across like that :)
