While holding down on the button, try gently wiggling the band back and forth and see if it will release. Another possible help can be using a used toothbrush to dislodge any built-up debris, lotion, sweat etc.


You can also try using the used toothbrush dipped into a bit of warm water to help dislodge anything that might be lodged in the strap.
