Water bottle cage

Can anyone recommend a water bottle cage that functions well and doesn’t look hideous?

More expensive than before,  but these are great:
US $19.46  19％ Off | OG-EVKIN BC-006 Carbon Bottle Holder Titanium Alloy Ultra-Light Bottle Cage Bike Bottle Holder For MTB /Road Bicycle Accessories

They are light, and I never lost a bottle, on bumpy trails.
But the carbon makes your bottles get black.

Otherwise for half the cost but 7g more ::)

But I find the bottles to be harder to put and get
Decathlon sells the same model under their name.

I have probably 10 years or so on either of these. I use the side load ones on frames with minimal bottle clearance. I've purchased both styles from various vendors with no issues and both hold the bottles securely.

I had these before and found the little bottom piece quite fragile.
It snapped on both bikes I did install it.
I must be too brutal with the bottles, if you had them for 10+ years :)

After a 10 year hiatus from riding, I got back into it in 2011. Grabbed a couple of the lightweight ones shortly thereafter so somewhere in the 10 year range, not sure exactly. Only one I broke was my fault as there wasn’t enough room in the frame to get the bottle out properly. Repaired with some G-Flex epoxy and some fiberglass and it’s on my winter bike now. That’s when I started getting the side load ones for certain bikes. Between my kids, wife, and myself, I’ve bought and sold just a few. But I don’t think any of them have over 1,500 miles of use.
