I'm not that keen on rubber straps generally plus I'm probably aiming for more of a smart end of the scale.
Sailcloth ones look like a possible. Conveniently Watchgecko seems to have used a Black Bay Black for most of the shots on there.

I hear ya. My lazyness coupled with high exposure to baths, baby vom and washing up have meant all my watches have ended up on rubber straps.
On the sailcloth straps, I got this one - https://www.watchgecko.com/sailcloth-watch-strap. It’s fine for the money (and the QR bars make life super easy) but it’s thin, so would recommend you go for the padded version if you want some mass.

If you’re after a fuss free strap, have you thought about rubber (if that’s not too personal a question)?
My BB is on a Vanguard strap and I really like it, it’s comfy and pretty smart. For me, the filled in lug space changes the feel of the watch a bit - imo it makes it seem a little sportier and casual, which I kinda like - but that‘s just my weird taste.
Watch Obsesion have got some Rios water resistant leather straps and am sure Hirsch have a few options too. Watch gecko do a load of water proof sailcloth type straps which are also pretty smart, including a padded version if you want some chunk.
