Band Release Button on Apple SE watch. I have looked at the Apple article on "changing your watch band," and there does not appear to be a band release button or any button in the area circled on the diagram. This is an Apple SE watch, the smaller one, purchased about a year ago. Hope someone can help.

You are showing a Series 6 so use of warm water (not hot) should be safe. Run some water over the problem band and release button and work gently at it, the water should start to flush away any residue from spilled sticky soda drinks, and will start to act as a lubricant as it penetrates the band attachment. It might need some persistence, just work patiently.
