Suggestion for this 3rd party band?

[fitcious]

Hi everyone,

I’m really digging this new color band but can’t see myself forking $56 (after tax) for it.

Anyone have a band with same color and style and where did you buy it from? I looked on Amazon and didn’t find one in this color and style. TIA.

I've ordered one from this place - Due the beginning of November.

I don't know if you have tried third party sport bands - if so, you know what you are getting. They are not the same material and quality as Apple sport bands. This bothers some people more than others.
Apple bands are fluoroelastomer, whereas third party are silicone rubber, have a more rubbery feel, and attract lint.
