I just discovered this Kichstarter project for high quality sport bands in a variety of nice designs: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/541540245/wrbls-wear-your-apple-watch-with-style

Keeping my fingers crossed that these guys reach their goal! :)

Good individualism. However, it is made of silicone. No thanks. I have not met a silicone band that does not attract lint and dirt like crazy!

This is why Apple sport bands are so special...soft, flexible, hypoallergenic, durable yet has no abnormal love for dirt/lint.

You're right, the texture of the Apple sport bands is amazing. But the single colours get a little boring …

they appear to be just printed onto the cheap knockoffs - and that printing apparently adds a hefty chunk to the price (profit for them i suppose, yay)

and according to their kickstarter, they have little appreciation of dimension. i don't think these guys are engineers.
