Band compatibility for 38mm Series 2 watch

What bands are compatible with my watch? I’m interested in this band: 40mm Inverness Green Braided Solo Loop - Size 1. However, from another similar question, it appears that this band is only compatible with the SE Series or later. I don’t know how to find bands on apple.com that are compatible with my watch.

You can match most bands with any Apple Watch Series 3 or newer case of the same size. (For Apple Watch Series 3, the 40mm band works with the 38mm case; the 44mm band works with the 42mm case.)

The Solo Loop and Braided Solo Loop bands are only compatible with Apple Watch SE and Apple Watch Series 4 or newer. Bands will only fit the selected case size and are not compatible with other case sizes. For example, a size 5 for a 40mm case does not work with a 44mm case, and vice versa.

OK. Thanks. However, the link "See compatibility details" does not say that and should be corrected:
