Default Using a honda O2 sensor vs an aftermarket O2 sensor

Why do Honda cars seem to not like aftermaket O2 sensors? My 97 DX Coupe has a brand new 4 wire O2 sensor from oxygensensors.com. It still throws a 61 CEL which is slow response O2 sensor.
Anyone else have the same problem, and how did u fix it??

I don't know what the deal is with aftermarket sensors. Nissan has a ton of O2 sensor problems and they use a lot of the Bosch sensors (you can see the Nissan emblem on the Bosch replacement sensors). You just can't beat Denso and NGK for quality but they are expensive.

Which sensor do you need? I know I have a brand new Sensor 1 O2 and I think I have a brand new sensor 2. Both are factory parts and "untested" (used).

are you sure the O2 sensor is the reason you're getting the code?

I'm using an aftermarket one from oxygensensors.com, no problems with it.
