How to find compatible bands for Apple Watch Series 8 GPS?

All the watch bands I'm seeing for replacement aren't made for the Series 8 gps which has a loop on one end and a connector on the other end. Anyone have luck finding?

All Apple Watches have exactly the same strap attachment method, with a slide in groove on each side of the watch. In addition to the advice posted by varjak paw above, note that Amazon has hundreds of such straps in hundreds of styles. I have purchased several styles from Amazon, with no fitment issues at all.

Now I understand what you're all saying....I didn't realize that the "loop" was actually part of the clip on that one end and that it comes out just like on the other side. 🤭

Also the new band I purchased from Amazon came in two pieces, not like the band that came with my watch when purchased, so that made it a little more confusing for me.

Thanks, everyone!
