There are few third-party band options available for the Apple Watch at the current point in time given that it just launched a week and a half ago, but those of you who purchased a stainless steel Apple Watch with a Classic Buckle or Modern Buckle band can use the components from those bands to connect standard watch bands to your Apple Watch devices.
In a newly published video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4m0EzQ9ziA), Lewis Hilsenteger of Unbox Therapy walks through the process of using the parts in the Classic Buckle band to connect a 22mm third-party watch band to the Apple Watch.
As it turns out, there are two small pentalobe screws holding the pin component of the Classic Buckle together, so with a pentalobe screwdriver, the portion of the band that connects to the Apple Watch can be disassembled, slid into a standard pin-based watch band, and reassembled.

The Modern Buckle and the Classic Buckle are the only two bands that have a pin-based connector built-in, so those of you who want to use different watch bands with your Apple Watch devices will need to either purchase one of the models that comes with a Classic Buckle band or purchase a Classic Buckle band (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MJ4W2/42mm-black-classic-buckle) separately for $149 (estimated to ship out in May). The Modern Buckle has the same connector, but Modern Buckle Apple Watches have **t yet shipped out and those bands are listed as "Currently Unavailable" in the online Apple Store (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MJY82/38mm-black-modern-buckle-medium).
Along with a compatible Apple Watch band, a tiny pentalobe screwdriver (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_**ss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=pentalobe+screwdriver) is also required to swap out the band, but those are available at little cost. With a Classic Buckle and the screwdriver, making a swap is as uncomplicated as simply removing two screws, pulling apart the connector, sticking the pieces into a**ther watch band, and putting it back together again.http://rss.feedsportal.com/c/35070/f/648326/s/45fee375/sc/23/mf.gif
