HERE is a side-by-side I made of one Redditor's (sorry I forgot username) Apple black link bracelet and my Amazon black link bracelet that was $23.
Notice how the Apple bracelet is ever so slightly glossier than the knockoff. I have an Aluminum S4, so I would actually recommend the knockoff over the Apple bracelet as far as looks go if you have an aluminum watch, because it matches the finish a little better. A year in, it's held up extremely well in daily use. There is one link on the bottom that has some coating abrasion where I rest my hand on the desk. If it was a visible flaw I could buy 20 of these for the price of one Apple band if I needed to swap it out :) I'd bet that if it were an Apple version there would be no abrasion at all though.
EDIT: Just snapped this pic of the only wear it's had in over a year of daily wear. Check the link on the lower left you can make out it out. In my experience the coating seems to be very scratch resistant (more than the screen of Apple Watch which has couple hairline scratches while the band itself has none), but more susceptible to a year of constant friction against a hard surface like a desk. Anyway, hope that helps.

I think we are going to start to find a lot of incompatible 3rd party bands moving forward. I had a similar issue with a third party band from amazon. Very tough to remove and thought I may have damaged the S4 SB SS case.

Avoid at all costs for S4 models
Sure!

It's a knockoff version of the ridiculously expensive link bracelet Apple sells.
