It's not. I've been using the same band for years. I am constantly taking it off, and putting it back on, so the butterfly latch gets lots of exercise.
The Apple band is nicer, but ... I got one that is likely an exact replica of it (including the quick-release buttons on the links -which is silly, because you only take them out once, unless you plan to gain a bunch of weight), for $60.
I don't even know if you can spend more than $60 on Amazon, for one of these things.
I have a bunch of wood bands (I literally have several dozen bands).

However, the ones I like the most are "hybrid" ones: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071NV2GF4/
I got that, five years ago (I still have it, and it's fine). I don't know if they make the same one, anymore.
