BARTON WATCH BANDSBarton Elite Silicone Watch Bands - Quick Release - Choose Color - 18mm, 19mm, 20mm, 21mm, 22mm, 23mm & 24mm Watch Straps (Stainless & Black Buckle Available)

**Update**Whilst comfortable, and worn daily, the band has already split where the pin goes through the hole, meaning it now sits one hole looser than it needs to be.For the money, not impressed that it's broken already.******Bought this to replace a torn leather Barton strap (watch caught on something and the leather tore).Interestingly, I find this more comfortable than the leather, probably as a) it has more holes so more finely adjustable and b) doesn't stretch over time.The locking nub is one of those things you wonder why it hasn't been done before. Simple but effective.I don't find it over-sweaty, and it doesn't seem like a lint magnet either.

Nice look and feel. Let's the watch sit comfortably on your wrist. Quick release pins for easy strap changing. The holes are not strong though. One has already broken through. Hence the 3 stars

Bought this to match the colours on my Seiko Vampire Monster, the black strap with crimson underside match the dial brilliantly - they look fantastic together (see pic!). I'm disappointed then that it can't be an enduring match. Many Seiko dive watches have much thicker than normal spring bars, which includes the monster. The quick release spring bars in this strap are really thin, and although they fit into the watch lugs - there's plenty of space for them to rattle around and over time they'll likely scratch up and wear into the watch lugs. Which means although this strap looks fantastic - I can't leave it on the watch. Might keep it for the occasional wear, but will have to find something else which can take the thick spring bars.Update: I bought some skinner spring bars for dive watches from Watch Gecko, and these seem to do the trick, just replace the quick release ones. Strap is still a little thin, but feels secure enough

I like this strap a lot. Well made, nice color (pumpkin orange) BUT it causes a rash on my skin. Original silicone strap what came with watch is OK, no problem. After two-three weeks of wearing the Barton strap skin problems came up. Switched it back to original strap and within two days the rash was gone. Switched back to Barton and again skin issues, almost like a burn marks. Not painful, just itchy and not nice looking. I never had an allergy on silicone (still don't have with the original one) and I clean the strap regularly. I still don't want to return it because I love the look of them with my black watch. On the original strap the bottom side is more polished. On Barton it have a matt finish which is in my opinion holding back the moisture and dirt. You can even smell a sweat on it. On the original strap i never experienced it. I'm 100% sure that this is reason of rash. Even If I clean the strap every 2-3 day is not enough. Taking a shower daily doesn't count as it is not s proper cleaning.

Using this with the Rose Gold Samsung Galaxy Watch. Fits perfectly and is very smooth to touch and very light.One thing to consider is that the strap lock is quite effective, so if like me you take the watch off and on daily and on a regular basis, it will slow you down a bit and you'll have to learn how to release it effectively.Otherwise it fits great for my small wrist and it looks good with the watch.

I picked this up to stick on a Seiko dive watch that came on a metal bracelet. Fitting the Barton band took less than a minute and has transformed the Seiko into a nice low key comfortable beater watch.One thing to note is that with Seiko dive watches you need fatter spring bars than the Barton bands come with, as the ends of the barton spring bars will eventually wear the larger holes in a dive watch. Following a Barton video online it took seconds to remove the quick release spring bars from the Barton strap and then a few seconds more to fit some after-market fatter spring bars into the barton strap ('fat skinny' / 'fat slim' spring bars are the best for this as they're a bit thinner and slot into the Barton strap easy).I'm sure there are off the shelf solutions but I was really impressed with how flexible yet sturdy the Barton bands feel. There's a slight stretch to them that has meant I don't feel myself adjusting them as much as my wrist swells / contracts throughout the day. The locking end portion eliminates the annoying trailing tail which catches on my G-Shock watch.The fact the Barton comes with two sizes in the package is a big plus: I've got a tiny 5.9" wrist and it fits me really well, whereas my friend has much larger wrist and the strap fits him equally well with the larger strap attached.

This is an amazing quality of strap at a good price point. The silicon is soft but sturdy enough to give reassurance whilst wearing a heavy watch. The free loop has a sort of built in unde-clip that locks into place when worn so that there is no risk of the strap coming undone or flapping about.I've changed my buckle to correspond with my watch - but the original stainless steel is also good quality. Also, the quick release is a godsend. All straps should have this feature from here on out! Finally, the package comes with two sizes of strap - which I thought was a nice touch.Would highly recommend and will likely buy additional straps myself!

I am very impressed with this strap, and especially the quick release spring bars which make changing straps on your watch or watches a breeze. Literally a 3 second process for each side of the strap and you are ready to fit a different one - rubber, rubber of a different colour, leather, canvas, whatever. They may even do a metal bracelet, though I suspect not.The strap is lightweight, and makes a huge difference to the feels of a watch when compared to the usual metal bracelet. I have mine on a Seiko Samurai which came with a heavy, slightly jangly strap, and the feel is much more comfortable, and at a guess I would say it almost halves the weight of the watch on the wrist.And it looks good too, with the black outer being well offset by the subtle showing of the bright orange underside, which goes well with the Orange face of my Samurai.I will be buying some more in different colours and sizes.
