Apple Watch Band Broken

Hello,


My steel link band recently broke. My watch is perfectly fine, but one of the release pieces broke off. My watch is still in warranty for another 11 months. What should I do? Is there a way to only get the band replaced? Or do I have to send the entire watch in as a repair claim?

Since the Watch band can be changed by the user, sending in the complete watch should not be needed.
