I was wondering if anyone knew what exact size the pentalobe screws on the Apple Watch band adapter.
Thank you for your help.

where can i buy those ?
I have this set - Wiha 6 PC Precision Pentalobe Screwdriver Set For Use on Apple® Products 26794, You can buy these from Ebay or Amazon for $40
Thanks, if the screwdriver is larger then iPhone screws, then is it same as MacBook or MacBook Air? Still looking for competitive screw driver. Thanks.
There are as I said only 3 sizes of pentalobe screws. The ifixit 54-bit screwdriver kit has all 3 included. Or you can get the pro tech tool kit. That includes the bit set and much more.
Although there is no (known) official standard naming-scheme; the size is commonly known as P-sizes. TS-sizes are sometimes used; but leave room for mixing up with regular Torx Sizes. Many sources are using the wrong scheme (i.e. mixing P- and T- naming). The following sizes are used by iFixit.com:
Pentalobe sizes
P-Sizes TS-Sizes Dimension Usage
P1 TS0 Unknown Unknown
P2 TS1 0.8 mm iPhone 4, 4S, 5, 5C, 5S, 6, 6 Plus
P3 TS2 Unknown Unknown
P4 TS3 Unknown Unknown
P5 TS4 1.2 mm MacBook Air and MacBook Pro with Retina Display
P6 TS5 1.5 mm MacBook Pro (2009) Battery - 15” only. Also known as Apple specialty tool 922-9101

And now a forth size
So I've purchased a 0.8 and a 1.2 pentalobe driver and the 0.8 is too small and the 1.2 is too big... Can anyone confirm one that they've bought and personally used to work?
