They really aren't the same stuff most of the time. If you don't care about longevity or yellowing/fading then they work fine.

I tried multiple generic sport loop style bands and the velcro started to fail within 6-9months on multiple, to the point the watch almost fell off. I got an Apple version (also on clearance) and it's still going strong about 18months later. The $25 ends up being slicker and less expensive in the long run.

All bands that were for the larger of the two sizes for all gens are compatible: 42/44/45 mm
Same with the smaller of the two sizes: 38/40/41 mm

And if yours is the larger size of Series 7, it should be 45mm

(Also side note, I recently found out the smaller size bands will still work with the larger watch size, it just won't be flush on the left and right but it locks without issue in the middle)

"Almost" is the key point here. They start looking identical but after a month in the materials wear way faster and end up looking like 💩.

I'd buy the generic ones for $3 from eBay for the colors I use occasionally and the Apple original for daily wear.

I have a 44 mm series 7. Can I use the ones listed as 42/44? I'm guessing no, but I thought there was some sort of overlap between the sizes?

All bands that were for the larger of the two sizes for all gens are compatible: 42/44/45 mm
Same with the smaller of the two sizes: 38/40/41 mm

And if yours is the larger size of Series 7, it should be 45mm

(Also side note, I recently found out the smaller size bands will still work with the larger watch size, it just won't be flush on the left and right but it locks without issue in the middle)

Yes you can, 42/44/45mm all use the same sized straps.

I'd second this statement. Paid for generics and they were scratchy and got worn easily. The Apple version is softer and dries much more quickly. The generic version felt like wearing a wet rag after a good workout. These somehow absorb and don't feel nasty.
