BARTON WATCH BANDS - Soft Silicone Quick Release Straps

Excellent product. Easy to install or remove with spring bar 'dimple' that quickly allows retraction of spring bar pin. It's also easy to take off to clean a watch on occasion with a toothbrush. You also don't risk scratching the watch struggling with a gummed up spring bar. The band can be taken on and off in seconds. It's obvious why people buy a number of bands of various colors Comfortable especially when resting your arm while using a mouse, etc, even when you roll your arm directly resting on the buckle portion. Silky soft, lite and flexible with no break in needed. Its difficult to scuff or deface the band in any way. After months of use it shows no wear at all. Much better than a rubber type band supplied with a Casio watch that I formerly thought was fine until I tried this band. The stainless bucket is polished to a high chrome like gloss. 316 Stainless is a higher grade of stainless and the added chrome content adds to the rich look with no sharp edges. Cleans over and over with water and mild soap. The holes are fine for an average sized wrist and close enough to get a good fit. I have it on a Citizen watch and it fits and clears the body of the watch just right.

Love this watch band and it fits my Citizen Ecodrive perfectly. I’m the kind of guy who wears his watch 24/7; I shower with it, sleep with it, workout with it...it never leaves my wrist. Needless to say a good band is extremely important Comfort: 5/5 -The band is ultra soft, I barely notice I’m wearing it. -Even when your wrist swells (working out/hot outside/really hydrated), the band is just as comfortable & seems to expand -I haven’t found “slippage” to be the case, it stays put & doesn't slide down or up my wrist even when wet (after washing hands/showering). But this is more a function of how tightly you wear your watch Fit: 5/5 -I have pretty small wrists (~7”) and it fits perfectly with 2 notches to spare -The buckle is very comfortable and lays flat against the strap, so it doesn’t catch on things like clothes, laptop edges, doorways, etc. -The fastener loops that hold the extra bit of strap down against your wrist are excellent. I was worried they would be too bulky/thick (like the Fossil silicone bands) and be a nuisance, but the opposite is true **see the 2nd picture**. They also stay in place very well and don’t slide down the band, like with leather straps. Durability: 5/5 -The band, while comparatively inexpensive, feels very well made, but only time will tell -The material does not collect dust/hair/lint like some other silicone bands, probably because it isn’t textured & has a smooth surface It’s also worth noting I haven’t had a skin irritation or reaction to the band. It was also very easy to install—just be sure to do so on a flat surface over a white piece of paper to catch the metals bars if they fall out (mine didn’t, they were pretty well stuck-in the band)

Replacement for my original Pebble Watch. Fits the watch perfectly. Chose this as it was a silicone replacement for the original Silicone band. Couple of things: Fit: The band is the same size but the holes are not in the exact same place, so it will be slightly tighter or looser than the original band. This was fine for me as the original was always slightly loose on my wrist. But if the original fits perfect, you may not be happy with this fit. Feel: the outside of the band feels like the original pebble band, but the inside has a texture. I think this is intended to help with air flow, but I find it just keeps the watch from slipping around my wrist (and not in a good way) Cleaning: the biggest issue with this is that the texture actually traps dirt. I usually just shower with my pebble on my wrist and with the original smooth band, this was fine to keep it clean. With the texture on this band, after a week or two of wear, you will find that dirt and dead skin get trapped in the texture. It cleans fairly easily, but you will need to clean in on a regular basis if this is a daily wear band. Off/On: I find that the loops that hold down the strap when it is on your wrist tend to not slide at all. This is great when you want to keep the band on, but a pain when you want to take it off. I find myself frustrated that this can be hard to take off. All and all, I like the band and will continue to wear it. I like the color and seems to be fairly durable. Quick release works well. And for the price, I can live with the few things I don't like.

Really cool band. I like the quick release feature and had no idea how useful that could be until using it. I'd bought some quick release straps from another brand a few days prior, one leather and one silicone, and wanted to give this from Barton a try too. I can say the Barton is better quality than the other brand (Rerii) I bought, which I realized afterward is probably just a copy of Barton's version. (For all I know, Barton could be copying someone else, but they did it better than rerii) The band itself is made from soft, quality silicone rubber. It's solid and doesn't stretch very easily, which is good, and it's also still very flexible at the same time. The different texture on the back is another plus. I like it better than having it the same smooth finish as the outer face because it won't stick to you as much or cause sweating on a warm day. The number of holes is also good. I have thinner wrists and sometimes the holes on the strap don't extend far enough for me to get a secure fit. I can get a tight and secure fit with this, and there's still two more extra holes to go tighter past that if needed. The quick release function is great, and very handy to have. I'd recently broken a tip on my old spring bar tool, so I was very excited to find these and found the experience of using them even easier than I thought it'd be. I don't even want to use regular spring bar type bands again; I can say that based off of this Barton silicone quick-release band, I'll be buying a few of the leather versions in different colors and sizes for the rest of my watches. Edit 5/23/18 - I've had this band, as well as the ones I bought after, for about a year and a half now. This particular watch/band combo still gets worn 4-5 days a week and it's shown almost no signs of wear. These hold up well.

This was the first Barton Band that I bought - i was so impressed I immediately bought 2 other varieties and I remain impressed. Material: It's silicon, so you know what to expect. It's a soft-touch, rubbery material with a pleasing matte finish. The interior of the band has a very fine pattern on the inside that helps stop the watch from sliding around.Unlike some other silicon bands i've tried, Barton's material seems to be a perfect blend of strength and flex.This material is immediately comfortable the first time you put it on - there is no wearing-in that you find with some silicon bands that are too firm and need a few days/weeks to relax. Colors: I have a few watches and like to indulge in swapping out different color bands. Barton band colors are bright without being neon and attention getting without distracting from the watch. Quality: You'd think making a silicon band would be simple, but once you try a few brands its easy to see that a good quality silicon band isn't so easy to find. Barton's are well made, with the molding seams hardly visible (if at all). The quick change pins are strong and easy to use. Every Barton Band i have purchased has had the same level of high quality. Summary: For the price, I cant recommend these bands enough. They could raise the price several dollars and it would still be worth it.

I love my Withings watch, and it has been a part of my daily workout regimen for two years now. When the band broke, I went to Amazon and looked to see what was available. I ordered this Barton quick release silicone band. At first, I did not intend to write a review, but the company's support and consideration made that important to me. You see, Amazon did not deliver the item on the date promised, something that has happened before, but very uncommon. I figured it was a small package and was sitting in the bottom of the truck somewhere and would eventually show up. Well, the company emailed me a day after it was supposed to be delivered, telling me that they wanted to hear from me, and asked if I would review their product. I informed them I was still waiting for the package to arrive, but their email impressed me with their earnestness. Then the unexpected happened. They informed me they mailed a new item to me, they wanted to make sure I got it and they were willing to make it right, regardless of fault. I just got their replacement, and it's good. slightly stiffer silicone, with a higher durometer than the original band. I imagine this one will last more than a couple of years. I picked a red color since my normal business attire is black and red. The integrally colored strap is uniform in color, and looks to be very colorfast. The original band, I had to put two keepers on the strap to keep it from unfastening during runs. This strap comes with two keeper bands in place, and they are also stiffer and stouter than the original band that came with the watch. I can't imagine these slipping off.

Let me just preface this all by saying, I understand this is a very petty, small issue and nothing of any importance, but just putting a review out there for anyone to save a bucks in the future. I have a garmin instinct and as far as size and function, it's great. The only reason I wanted to switch it out for another watch is because it's basically all function and no form. Which I usually value more, but it is nice to be able to install other apps and faces. So, I got this t-rex pro and in those respects, it does do that. 100s of faces and apps. Though, when it comes to things like straps, it seems oddly lacking. Compared to the garmin and even other amazfit watches. I am a fan of OD green, or olive drab. It's sometimes called army green. Most watches have one of these. It's a very popular color for many. That's why it's so bizarre to me that the pro doesn't. The 2 and other models do. I've gotten a few from other companies and Barton and they just aren't OD green. They're much darker or lighter. This one from Barton is NOT OD green. It is more a bright sage green. The other ones on other sites and here, are darker hunter green. Is this a big deal? No. The Barton is comfortable, it's just not accurate to the picture on here. The picture is OD, the actual one, is not. There are nylon ones you can get that are more accurate, but if you want silicon, you're basically out of luck. It's so odd and frustrating, but not the end of the world. Another bit of advice. If you want to often and easily switch straps, just get one strap that has regular or quick release spring bars, like this Barton, and you can just buy any 22mm strop and switch it out without it having to have the middle cut out notch itself. So, good strap, comfortable, just the wrong color.

Excellent product! I wish I would have looked into these watch bands earlier. I will definitely be getting more of these in the future or as I wear out older watch bands. Here are a few reasons why I am completely thrilled with this watch band: 1) Comfort - The watch band material is a soft silicone which is incredibly soft to the touch and very flexible. Sometimes during the day I don't even notice I have it on. 2) Function - The watch band doesn't pull at my arm hair and it stays in place even when wet. 3) Waterproof/washable - This sounds obvious, but I had a nylon watch band prior to this and it would always stay wet for a long time after I washed it. It also would start to stink if I sweat a lot while wearing it and I could never get rid of the smell. 4) Buckles - I didn't think the use of two buckles to keep the extra band secure after adjusting was necessary, but it doesn't an excellent job and I'm never adjusting it again throughout the day. 5) Aesthetics - The watch band just looks great for a rubber watch band even though I just went with black. 6) Ease of Use - The quick release system they use of these bands isn't just a gimmic, it actually works really well. Even if you don't plan on taking the band on and off your watch often, when or if you do need to it is quick and easy. An excellent idea and well implemented. I'd highly recommend this watch band to others and don't pass it up due to the price as other brands will only disappoint.

Acheté pour mon mari. Ce n'était pas le moins cher et il craignait que le silicone soit peu flexible et moins agréable à porter que le bracelet cuir d'origine de sa LG Watch R. Après quelques jours d'utilisation, il apparaît que le bracelet est très souple, résistant, agréable à porter et que la boucle ne le marque pas. L'attache rapide s'est avérée très utile pour tester le sens dans lequel le bracelet ne tourne pas.

I chose Barton based on the mostly positive reviews. Easily fitted to my Galaxy Watch Active, seems really good quality silicone, dare I say better than the original Samsung. It has a nice textured side that sits against the skin which I feel will allow air to circulate; the outside is smooth. Decent buckle, and I like the squared off strap end. Perhaps a little pricey, but there are a good range of colours, and I believe this should last some time.

The Bands are very soft and comfortable to wear. I have a number of them.

It is not the color in the pictures , it comes with a light green color not an olive one It comes also as 22 mm strap not 18 mm as described The quality is good so

Cinturino molto ben fatto. Comodo da portare. Lo consiglio.
