Hi guys, I would like information on the Apple Watch bands. Could non-original bands (those commonly sold on ebay or Amazon) cause problems with sports and heart sensors? In particular, I saw (in the photo, I don't yet have an Apple Watch) that the "Sport" bands have a metal part inside. Is there any sensor? Thank you

There are no sensors in the bands. Just need to be carefull with 3rd party bands some fit better than others.

Some might also be made of materials that may irritate your skin after wearing them for a while.
