My 3rd Party Apple Watch band is stuck
Hi,
I have a third party band that’s stuck on my Original Apple Watch. Apple wants to charge >$200 to remove the band, which is worth far more than the watch at this point. The release button won’t press down with this band on. Is there anywhere in the San Francisco area or via mail that I can get this repaired?
Thanks
Update (09/30/2018)
There is no visible damage. The only symptom is that the release button barely budged when trying to depress it.
The Watch, aside from the stuck band is in full working order. I would just like to get this band removed so that I can change bands again.
Thanks

I was thinking that drilling out the band would be the best answer. I tried WD40 already, but I’ll try it again.

Just had Apple store tech handle the same issue. They use alcohol rather than oil.

Dish soap and warm water worked like a charm!

Per Alan Garber’s comment above, I used alcohol and it came right off!
