According to Apple's documentation, Sport bands for Apple Watch adds between 37g and 51g of weight for the watch at the time of application, the weight varying depending on the size of the watch, but also on the color chosen for the accessory. Below are the weights of each accessory depending on the watch model and the difference is quite interesting and large in certain cases.
