Apple's bands are better quality than most third party offerings. At MSRP, third party options still make some sense, not when the Apple bands are on sale (assuming you like the color).
You can find nice quality replacement bands in all sorts of colors for around $5 (or less) shipped from Ebay. Not sure how this is a deal.

FYI, an awareness post since I've been researching this lately myself. Watch bands like this are made of fluroelastomers which contain pfas (forever chemicals).
The recent study on them doesn't call out specific brands but notes that many watch bands contain them (https://www.ewg.org/news-insights...ss-tracker). I'd imagine the cheap generic brands are the worst offenders but there isn't much data yet.
From everything I've read, titanium, steel, real silicone, and nylon are all safe bets. Nylon is the most iffy though since most bands don't list their materials outright, but it's usually paracord-like. (watch out for terms like 'silicone rubber' or 'silicone like', they usually include pfas).

Apple has admitted to using them (sport band & ocean band in particular), and claims they're safe (https://www.macrumors.c
