This Jet Tech for $12 is an amazing deal. I don't know how they do it. I've got the black one and it is as comfortable as my original milanese loop from Apple, but has better magnetic power, so I sold my Apple one.

I second this. I had the silver to go with my first gen aluminum Apple Watch.

I upgraded to a black stainless steel series 2 and needed a new one. I found another brand that matches my black stainless steel perfectly. It is very comfortable, and looks great.

$72 for that milanese, is that right? Still a lot cheaper than Apple's, but yeah...

The one I linked should be $14 and sorry for the fingerprints on the band in my pics.

I also highly recommend this band. It sells at Best Buy for $99 normally but just last week was their daily deal and was only $9.99 so it is worth keeping an eye out for.

I highly recommend https://www.clockworksynergy.com/?ref=5&campaign=UUimUvbUpU2860279 I have two of their NATO bands and one of the leather bands. Plus one more of each on the way after their Black Friday Sale (everything including sale items are still 25% off).

The leather band is my go to during the work week. I also have four Apple bands. Two sport, one nylon and the Milanese. I keep a sport band in my desk drawer at my office in case I run at lunch.

Monoware is having a sale on their bands, cheaper than at Amazon. I just ordered a basic leather band similar to that in rangerdeyo's pic, and an OD nylon band in NATO style with black hardware. They were $39 and $29 respectively, plus about $9 for tax and First Class shipping.

They haven't shipped yet.

Nike K-O Band 1.JPG
This just in... My otomake Nike Knock Off.

I'm happy with the quality and price ($16ish). It's well made and nice looking, but handling it, a Watch owner would know it's not an Apple band. I like it enough to have ordered a Black/Cool Gray band as well. I like the Gray/Green but it needs a Silver Al or Sport, and I don't have one. A Nike+ is not off table.

I've got two more third-party bands on the way, and I hope they're as nice as this one.

I just ordered a Clockwork Synergy "Light Brown Worn Leather Bands", as well as a "Natural Horween Chromexcel" strap from E3 Supply Co. I'll post pics of both when they arrive.
