Here’s my two bands in shipment. I’ve used both the stores before. The “maikes” one is superb for all kinds of sports and leather straps. Cooband has great quality leather loops and a huge assortment of steel bracelet type straps. Take a look. I’ve stopped buying from amazon. If you can wait three weeks you save so much money buying straight from China.

Just ordered a black sport band from URVOI for £2.59 with free shipping, even if it's garbage and takes weeks to come it's only £2.59!
I have a feeling you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Ok I can tell it’s not the original. Perhaps it’s a bit stiffer (the sport bands at least can’t easily be replicated except in look) but I do have my Nike band that came with the watch for that. Most of these bands , especially the leather loops , cuff bracelets , and steel Milanese or link bracelets are almost identical in looks and good enough in quality for me. Sorry. I’m simply not paying 500 bucks for a strap. I’ll buy a ceramic edition because to me that’s worth the premium but official apple bands and straps are ridiculously overpriced. Even if the Chinese copy falls apart in two months I’m only out 20 bucks. This way I can indulge having about ten different straps for different looks. With two official hard to copy Apple bands in there that I think are woRth the money (Nike strap and the new sport loop)

If it isn’t with you in 3 weeks (that’s what was quoted for most of mine) just disputed it on the app. It’s super easy. Your money either gets refunded immediately or the seller HaS to send a replacement. I ended up getting two identical things once. The first one was lost in the mail and then found and to be fair ended up ordering something else from the same guy.
