Used the band that came with it for awhile but got annoyed that it was scratching my laptop. Switched to a nylon band with an off center hook and loop buckle that has so far protected my laptop, but it looks like it’s giving me a bit of a rash after less than a week of use. I do wear my watch all the time, only taking it off to charge while I’m in the shower.
Sport Loop or Nike Sports Band.

Look on Amazon for a gazillion straps that are as good or better than what Apple sells you for 20% of the price.
braided solo loop, ocean band (for context I’m a student and I’ve had no issues regarding the band making contact with the ocean band) just make sure to get a good size for the ocean one where the metal clips are on the other side of your wrist, away from you. if that makes sense

Any magnetic band. I personally have a Decoded rubber band. Very flat and neat.
Pitaka carbon fiber band. Three years going strong, never one rash.
