I have a Apple 3 watch 42 mm and my watch band is stuck, however, the button pushes in but not as good as the other side. I have used WD40, alcohol and hot water and nothing has worked!! I even took it to a Apple Store and they could not get it off!! Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! The band has been on for about a year…been trying for six months!! It’s from Amazon if that makes a difference
Before I'd give it to a 3rd party company who might damage the watch, I'd reach out to Apple again and ask if they can send it off to their repair center to have the band removed and or the watch fixed.

They never offered and I didn’t know that it could’ve been sent off or a option. They tried for about 5 minutes and that’s it. They said they couldn’t fix it! This stupid white watch band, I’m so over it…it’s all stretched out and is too loose.
There is a place close to where I live and they work on phones and watches and other kinds of electronics…I might try them.
I appreciate your help!
you can try reading
Thank you for your reply! I have read through that forum and I tried what they suggested and nothing has worked so far.
Don't try to force it or you risk damaging your watch. Stop by your closest Apple Store Genius Bar for help.
I took it to one and they couldn’t do anything.
Didn't they offer to send it to a repair center? That may be your only option, other than living with the same band permanently.
I will definitely do that!! Thanks again! Do I do that through the Genius Bar or call them? I don’t do this that often.
I'd call Apple directly (if in the US) at 800-MY-APPLE and go from there.
Thank you so much for your help!! I really appreciate it!
You're very welcome and I hope you get this resolved.
