First off, sorry if this is posted in the wrong area or thread, but I'm looking to purchase my first Apple Watch but need to purchase the L/XL watch band and Apple is currently out of the black bands so I was wondering if anyone knows of a good third party band that I could order in L/XL that equals the same size as the apple band?

Thanks in advance for any help.

There are plenty of options on Amazon. Also iMore had this article recently:

Best Third-party Bands for Apple Watch | iMore

I'd go with a milanese band as it has more leeway in sizing due to its lack of the 'holes and a buckle' system.

Remember the Speidel Twist-o-Flex? Somebody put one on an AW. Very retro, funny, but not a good look.

Hopefully the suggestions other than the Supcase are good calls. I got the Supcase after finding it on Amazon, and it is the cheapest plastic out there. Definitely avoid it if unless you want your watch surrounded by something that looks like what you would get from a free kids watch out of a vending machine.
