I have bought the Milanese Loop band from Amazon for around $20 canadian and love it. I only looked at the original Apple ones (milanese loop and linked bracelet) for a short time, but I can't see a difference with these ones especially not one that justified buying one that is 8 or 10 times more expensive. I had at one point also ordered a linked bracelet band from Amazon and while it was also very nice I had to return it because due to a hand injury it did not work well for me. Just make sure you check in the description that you are buying the one for the size of your watch, 38mm or 42mm. Below is a link on the canadian Amazon website and I'm pretty sure that is the one I bought, it comes in silver, black or rose gold: https://www.amazon.ca/JETech-Milanese-Stainless-Buckle-Needed/dp/B016G49CZC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1491083982&sr=8-2&keywords=milanese+loop+band+for+apple+watch
I did also buy one which was advertised as a Leather Loop band and while it is OK and has a very strong magnet, I really don't think it is leather based on the smell, it seems more like something synthetic to me and I don't use it much. The one thing find with the milanese loop band is that if you wear a long-sleeve sweater which is a bit fuzzy on the inside that some threads can get stuck in the band, but for the most part it's not a problem.
