I would agree that third-party knockoffs of plastic or textile straps are great. The metal ones are just not worth it. Unless you like dirty wrists and peeling paint, I'd avoid them. just look at the reviews for the one you've posted [1]

- ChrisMarshallNY 3y agoYup, but I just got the basic stainless steel one. It can give my wrist a dark “shadow,” if I am sweating a lot, but otherwise, it’s been fine. I have a ton of straps. Some of the non-metal ones are total garbage, and peel and crack. If they had an “interim” variant, for around $100, I would consider that. I have a Junghans Apollo, that I got their full-fat strap for, and that was $150. That watch cost more than any of the (current) Apple Watches, and I haven’t worn it in years.
- woobar 3y agoYeah, I've meant "stainless steel" when I mentioned dirty wrists.
- ChrisMarshallNY 3y agoWould not be at all surprised, if the Apple band did the same (my Junghans one does). Not gonna drop $350, to find out. It’s no big deal, and only happens occasionally.
- woobar 3y agoI had few Amazon SS bands, and they all were leaving dark marks. Apple's Silver Milanese Loop is stain free. Also price difference is not that bad compared to knockoffs.
