Why do you buy official bands? It’s a genuine question, no offense… I just bought apple watch a month ago, and when I wanted to buy metallic band like I had on my old smart watch, I was SO startled by these prices. Like Jesus freaking Christ, how can a band cost 1/4 of an expensive smart watch. Got a few different ones from AliExpress for like 9$ total, picked one that was the most comfortable, and wearing it for two weeks now
Likely irrelevant to most people, but a friend of mine had an aftermarket Nike band knockoff on his watch that wouldn’t come off. Bands got stuck to the watch somehow and when he went to Apple to get it fixed they refused the warranty work since it wasn’t an official Apple band.

I have sensitive skin, so for me I don’t wanna risk that.
I’ve never bought an official band on its own, but these come with the watch.
