DIY solution - take an existing M neck strap, cut it in half (measure wrist size requirement first). If your wrist size is not too large you will be able to make two wrist straps from one neck strap.

Once cut, undo the threads holding the uncut end of the strap. Next fold the cut end over and re-stitch the two ends together. With a sewing machine the entire mod can be accomplished in about 5 minutes. Connect the wrist strap to the camera. I use the right end.

I've used this on an original M, M2, M50, first M6II, and will be putting one on my second M6II that arrived earlier today.

Need two bodies for a shoot? Use the neck strap on the body with the heaviest lens and the wrist strap on the other body. This is a convenient solution I've been using for several years.

Nice idea!  Would you attach a photo or two of your DIY strap so we can see it -- how it's made, how it attaches to the camera, etc.?  Thanks!
