What are the best Apple Watch bands for limited hand movement?

I have limited range of motion with my hands and am having difficulty finding a watch band I can manage. The type that you just tighten and and close the clasp or something similar is something I just cannot do. I can get somebody to put in on for me and I can undo the clasp to get it off but then need help getting it back on. I have tried the ones that have flexible bands but you have to fix a loop, which I had to get help with, and after a few days it got too loose. Is there a type that uses a clasp but also is flexible? I hope I am making a good enough description. Thanks for looking...

Ask Apple Accessibility Support, as a starting point: Accessibility Support - Official Apple Support

If you can get to an Apple Store, you can ask the folks there: Find an Apple Store

The Solo Loop and Braided Solo Loop bands have no fixtures. If you can get your hand through the (stretchy) loop and up to the wrist, then it's on. Same for removal. These bands are sized for your particular wrist, and are not not one-size-fits-most.

The second potential choice is one of the magnetic link bands, and these with no buckles or slots, but these will require some manipulation to get the two sections to magnetically clamp, or to unclamp.

The Sport Loop uses velcro. It never seems to come loose.

If there is an Apple Store nearby, you might want to stop buy and test out the options.
