BARTON WATCH BANDSBARTON Elite Silicone Watch Bands - Quick Release - Choose Strap Color & Buckle Color (Stainless Steel, Black PVD or Gunmetal Grey) - 18mm, 20mm, 22mm & 24mm Watch Straps

Excellent strap. Looks great on my Speedmaster and was extremely easy to install. Very comfortable overall and the material feels high quality without any injection creases. Would definitely buy again in different colors.

Great watch band for the price! I bought a Doxa sub 600T which is a beefy watch I bought it with a bracelet but, I’m not really fond of bracelets although the Doxa bracelet is quite nice and comfortable but I still prefer straps. So, I mistakenly bought a Hadley Roman dive strap. What a piece of crap! I replaced that with the Barton strap and what a difference! The Barton strap is very well made very comfortable and adjusts much more precisely many more pin buckle holes and as you’ve probably read has a “ keeper” feature on the strap holds and it has a quick release feature making changing the strap very convenient and less risky to the finish of your watch. And it comes with 2 strap ends a short and a long. Try one( Barton strap) I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

A-Maze-ING! Bought a new Garmin Forerunner 165. Love the watch but the band was sticky, made my skin itch, felt cheap. Researched and this looked like the best "rubber" watch band out there. I don't think I could have made a better choice. Totally took my watch up, like, 3 notches and for rubber, is very comfortable, not sticky, not as cheap and super-stretchy as cheaper, thinner, models. Has almost the feel of woven nylon. Very classy. Actually came with two different band ends (opposite the clasp part of the strap) so should fit women/smaller wrists no problem and without lots of strap slop.I bought the leather too, but, it may go back. It's actually a more heat retaining and not as comfortable on the skin. The quality is definitely there, but, for a sports watch, I'm not sure it makes sense.Quick release bands work great. But, not sure I would flip back and forth often between bands... not sure eventual wear and tear on either the spring or pin would cause it to pop out, or, if the pocket on the watch could eventually get loose. That said, i want the next watch up in the Garmin line so, maybe a happy accident could occur... hmm.. I'll let you know if I do switch out bands often and try to post if I get any good data/info.

UPDATE: Dec 2019Well, after just over 6 months of use, the holes in the band started to break so I had to set it to either a tighter or looser hole. I was very disappointed because I expected it to last longer than 6-7 months. I wear my watch in a business environment so it's not like it's being mistreated.I reached out to Barton Customer Service and they were very quick to respond and send out a brand new replacement which arrived in just a few days. So, Unfortunately, I had to lower my rating by one star due to the quality/lifespan of the band. However, they stand behind their products and respond very quickly. I will give the replacement another six months to try and if it lasts longer than the first, I will update my review on the quality.Again, Customer service has been excellent.SO I really liked the look of the band that came with my HW2but it really wasn't that comfortable and was a bit stiffi. I came across the Barton Elite bands and thought it would be worth a try. I am really glad I decided to try it out because it was very easy to install and incredibly comfortable! My HW2 fits so much better now. The small notch in the band retention loops is a nice touch too because it keeps the band from slipping out of the loops. I've had it a couple months now and it has stood up well to daily use and abuse. I will probably buy a couple more as the color combinations are very extensive. Great band and I highly recommend it!

Bought a navy blue and smoke grey band for my and my SO's new Galaxy Watches (navy blue was for the rose gold watch, grey for black). We were initially intending on switching them out with the OEM bands that come with the watches as needed. I was also hesitant about the higher price tag of these bands compared to others (I'm generally a huge fan of getting cheap Chinese versions of things!). However, after putting these bands on, we both decided that these bands were well work the cost and that we were going to use these bands permanently.The bands feel amazing and are extremely comfortable. They are silicon so they work well with sweat when working out. They also look great in general. The ones with a different color on the inside/outside seemed like a insignificant detail but end up providing a nice subtle accent to the band.Compared to the OEM bands, we both found that this band fit better. On the OEM bands, both of us found that we were between two different holes for our ideal size. The holes are so close together that they shouldn't have this issue, but I believe the material of the Galaxy bands was stretchier or something and that exaggerated the gaps. It is true that compared to those bands, these bands are more rigid and feel more solid in their sizing. We both found that this band had no issue with "in-between" sizes.Another nice feature of this band I didn't realize until I used it was that the outer band loop holder thing has a locking mechanism with it. The outer one will "lock" into the band below it. The OEM bands would constantly slide and often I found the band would come out of the holder or the holder would get pushed far in and cause the band to stick out. No such problem with this band - great feature.My only issue I had is that the largest holes are near the end of the band. My wrists are at the large end of the small strap so I used the small strap instead of the longer one to reduce excess strap. This means I'm in the 2nd or 3rd hole from the end. Trying to feed the small amount of extra strap through the two holders is difficult as there is only just enough space past the buckle to fit both of them in. The OEM strap had a little more extra space after the last holes to prevent this issue. I ended up having to remove the inner holder and leave just the outer one, but fortunately since there isn't much excess strap, this doesn't cause a problem.All in all, these are great bands. I will be purchasing more of them for more color options in the future.
