Replace yes, free of charge, unlikely. Any reason you think it should be free?
What band is it? What exactly is it missing? Can you provide a picture?
Unless you can prove it was a manufacturing defect, it is not covered by warranty. If you have Apple Care+ for the Watch, it will use one of the accidental damage incidents you have which have a cost, albeit a reduced one, associated with it.
If it's a brand new band, and you think it's missing something, you can take it to Apple and they'll examine it and explain your options to you.

The sports band, the thing that fell is in the image below
The clip button. It would only be free, if it's determined to be a manufacturing defect.
Take it to an Apple Store and have them look at it, they can tell you your options.
