Non-Apple Premium Bands

I have been looking at the Nomad bands and they look very much to be premium bands. Two questions really (with ancillary questions of why and what do you like about that particular brand?). To any Nomad owners out there do you consider the bands to be premium? Any owners have other bands they consider to be premium? I am at the age where I realize you typically pay for what you get and I don’t mind spending more if it is worth it.
