The sport uses high strength but light weight custom aluminum alloy..... typically if you want something to be lighter and of the same or greater strength it costs more.
The way Apple has been presenting the watches certainly falls in line with their Good, Better, Best strategy as well, so I have to believe that if they are putting the Apple Watch Sport consistently in the middle, that it costs more than the Apple Watch.
I'm not convinced the bands are even included in the base price.
