What is the best type of locking mechanism for a watch band?

AI Thread Summary
For a secure watch band locking mechanism that cannot be removed by the wearer, options like cuff-style locks, ankle bracelet designs, or cable ties are suggested. The preference is for a mechanism that does not require a key or any external source that could be lost. Bluetooth locks were mentioned but raised doubts regarding their reliability for this purpose. The discussion emphasizes the need for a practical solution that ensures the watch remains securely fastened. Overall, exploring existing technologies in personal restraints may provide viable locking mechanisms for watch bands.

Can anyone help me in what they think would work as far as placing a locking mechanism on a watch band??

I need it to lock onto the wrist. So it can not be taken off by the wearer.
I do not want it to need any type of key or source that can be lost.
I have been recommended a bluetooth type of lock, but am not totally convinced it would work.

Any and all advice is VERY welcome. Thank you Thank you!

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
