I bought one of the fine woven ones, but took it back.

Poor quality!
I think you can get a discontinued Apple leather band for a few quid at a discount store like TJX or a tech store like Curry's. In the US, I got the leather link in Ink for $12 for a 41mm band. I think it fits either a small/medium or medium/large band if you wear a solo loop size 6.

Gold Milanese Loop X gold bracelet!
 
You’ll love it!
In my opinion it’s the best strap by far and looks so good in slate.👍🏻
I got the Milanese loop in slate too because the original black one was a bit darker. It’s so subtle, but it makes a big difference. I can’t wear it to sleep though. I’ve gotten woken up by the Milanese loop pulling hairs out of my head, lol. Oddly enough, I find the link bracelet comfortable to wear to bed despite its weight.
 
46mm Gold titanium Series 10 with matching link bracelet.
Wrist size: 6.5in.
Stunning combination! If that band matches series 6 gold stainless, I’d get one too. Gold titanium proud. 🥹

Apple link bracelet is lighter than Hermes satine grand H so yes it is ok 👌🏻 to sleep track with. My third party gold link bracelet, I cannot wear it to sleep. It is so noticeable versus my other bands!

I’m always like 5 seconds away from ordering the titanium Milanese loop, but I wish the ends of it were polished to match the series 10 slate. It might still look ok. I might get it eventually, maybe if I come across an eBay listing selling it at a reasonable discount. eBay is actually one of the best places to get great deals on Apple Watch bands.

Ultra Milanese loop is meant to be matted so it can match the Apple Watch ultra’s appearance. Btw the tone of black and natty titanium on it, is the same as polished titanium on the series 10.
 
I have a 46mm Lake Green Braided Solo Loop coming this Wednesday. Will be my first of its kind and hope it looks and fits as great as I hope it does.

Do you not worry about your bracelet scratching your watch?

I wear my bangle on the other wrist.

I thought 10 karat gold would not scratch stainless, but I'm going to take my bracelet off when I swap my jewelry out for a business trip. Thanks for your advice. What material is your bangle made of, mate? Also, what do you think of this set of bands for a business trip: Leather Link in Ink, Sport Band, Modern Buckle in Sunset, and a gold Milanese Loop?

I would never wear any bracelet on the same wrist as my watch.

My bangle is a Tiffany. I’ve had it for a few years, but have only just started wearing it.

I think your choice of straps will be good for the occasion. I think that’s what I love about the Apple Watch: The level of customisation.

Here’s my bangle:
