Apple Watch band industrial safety?

As a person who has been in the manufacturing community for 20 years, I see a huge market for a watch band. The current one may qualify but I can’t find any info. More and more companies are starting to track fitness etc. This causes a problem for factories/mills due to having to have a breakaway pin/style of band on a watch. Does anyone know how much force is required or if the current watch bands have a breakaway feature? My thought was to get aftermarket band adapter and use an Approved “regular“ band. I think if Apple made a “safety band” that had an advertised and tested breakaway force, it would be a huge hit. I know several people who won’t buy a watch just because thry can’t wear it at work. If anyone knows if the current band has this Feature built in let me know.
