Apple's Sport Band, i.e. its "basic strap", is $49. And it's well worth it. The bands I got way back in 2015 are still in great condition and working fine after a lot of heavy use. As for Apple's stainless steel link bracelet being more expensive? Again, you get what you pay for: superior quality, an ingenious system that allows you to remove each link without any tools to adjust the size, a really wonderful clasp, etc.
