New watch band falls off
The blue magnetic band keeps coming loose and won’t stay on my wrist. It stays connected to the watch well, just won’t stay closed. Am I doing something wrong?

So an update...
Turns out the long part of the band is reversible. I flipped it around and it works perfectly. Not defective, just universal in how it can be put on. So if anyone else runs into this, try flipping it the other way by pressing the little release on the back, turning it over, and reinserting. The little bits of writing on the outside of the band were what made me wonder. Those should be on the inside.

The protruding end of the band previously fed through the hook is then lapped back against itself.
If that lapped-backwards alignment is not staying closed, you probably have a defective band and will want to discuss this with the people at Apple Support.
Thank you. It must be defective. I’ll make an appt at the store. I had it correct and it just fell open like that.
Thanks ☺️
