Watch band stuck

I have a Apple 3 watch 42 mm and my watch band is stuck, however, the button pushes in but not as good as the other side. I have used WD40, alcohol and hot water and nothing has worked!! I even took it to a Apple Store and they could not get it off!! Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! The band has been on for about a year…been trying for six months!! It’s from Amazon if that makes a difference

Before I'd give it to a 3rd party company who might damage the watch, I'd reach out to Apple again and ask if they can send it off to their repair center to have the band removed and or the watch fixed.

They never offered and I didn’t know that it could’ve been sent off or a option. They tried for about 5 minutes and that’s it. They said they couldn’t fix it! This stupid white watch band, I’m so over it…it’s all stretched out and is too loose.

There is a place close to where I live and they work on phones and watches and other kinds of electronics…I might try them.

I appreciate your help!
