Currently have the sport loop that I wear daily. But with summer coming around, I'm looking for a silicone band that I can wear in the water. I'd like one with a buckle rather than apple's silicone sport band. Anyone have one that is comfortable that they like?

I've had these for years. I never liked the feel of the silicone ones or buckles. I wear them to workout, then wash them with some hand soap and hang it on a little hook in the bathroom to dry and just put one of the other ones on since it was a multipack. They're thin and breathable, and I've been swimming in them, showered, sweat etc and they hold up well. I know it isn't exactly what you were asking about, but Amazon said I ordered them in July of 2023 and they are still holding up great.

Be careful with these. The plastic part where the strap connects can get weak and break. I was putting my watch on and the plastic broke a slingshotting my watch face to the ground shattering it.

I love the silicon sport band without the buckle. Super comfortable.

Nomad bands are the best

Whether they're worth the price over Chinese knock offs is questionable, of course.

Second this. Sign up for their mailing list and they do sales thru the year where you can get bands pretty cheap.

I had the fabric on one of them start to fray at the connector and tossed it, but the others are still doing great. But I'll keep that in mind. I think I bought them originally when I had the large series 3 watch. Then I had the series 7 for 3 years, and just got the Ultra a few weeks ago. And while the screen size changed on all 3, the connector is all the same size, so I've been able to just keep using the same ones. I did buy a nicer looking metal band that matches the titanium on the Ultra, but for sleeping and working out, I put the old fabric stretchy ones on.
