Warning. On eBay I bought from Trendfieber (Germany) an bracelet. On the second day of wearing it, it broke, my watch fell on the ground, screen broke. Repair costs € 249. No compensation from Trendfieber, just a refund for the bracelet.
If you read closer, the OP never stated the lugs were the issue to begin with and what initially caused the band to "Break. "
And I own a plethora of Apple bands as well, which we all know are well made, but I also own a large amount of reputable and reliable third party bands that are just as reliable as my Apple bands.
And there have been plenty of cases where Apple bands have had failed lugs. Your point is moot.
