What side do the holes on band go on

I know this probably sounds really stupid 🙈 I’ve tried the Apple Watch before but I returned it and went back to my Fitbit because of the battery life. That was like the 1st or 2nd series, so today I got the Series 8 watch and I feel like the bands are on the wrong side. I don’t know if the band goes through the hole then clip on a hole or Vice versa? Right now I don’t have it going through the hole and I feel like it’s wrong but I can’t find anywhere that actually tells you how it’s supposed to go on. Someone please help 🤣

I took a picture... Put pin through hole at the desired tightness then stab the end through the wide hole.

Also, if you are struggling to do it up, I wonder if you've installed the band's into the Watch backwards.


On my watch - I wear it on the top of my left wrist, buttons are on the left side. The band with all of the holes is attached at the bottom of the screen. The band with the pin and the slot is attached at the top of the screen.


Please know that you are free to put them on the opposite way of how I've got mine installed. I don't fumble and struggle getting points A, B, and C in place.
