Alright, so I just got this in the mail from Amazon for $17.99:
http://www.amazon.com/Kartice-Replacement-Bracelet-Classic-Buckle/dp/B01FHZZZ1G/
I've held off on getting other knockoffs until now because all of them had the nylon attached to the metal lugs which then goes into the watch...none of them had the nylon attached directly to the plastic lugs like the official band.
It looks just like the pictures in the Amazon listing and from what I can tell, it looks pretty much just like the real nylon band. The only thing I found was that the plastic piece that slides into the watch and clicks was really tight at first and I had to pull it out pretty hard and slide it back in a second time on one of the sides to get it to click in properly. It seemed to go in a tad easier the second time. I haven't really seen or felt a real nylon band in person extensively but it seems to look and feel right. The material is stiff and sort of conforms to your wrist / whatever you press it against, if that makes any sense.
My pictures don't have the best lighting which explains why the color is a bit off but in person, the color looks just like the pictures on amazon. It does seem to be ever so slightly different than the color of the black band on Apple's website, a bit lighter. Overall, it's a tad rough around the edges but looks pretty good for the most part and I'd say it looks official if I didn't know. The band is not gold like in the pictures I took - it's a silvery gray...my lighting was just really bad.
Let me know if you have any questions...
