This is the second review I've submitted so I've changed my rating to 'poor' because Barton doesn't seem to listen. In the first review I said that the watch band seemed fine, being brand new. The true test is how well it holds up. I also expressed displeasure with the amount of 'junk' emails Barton sends out. I bought a watch band. I didn't ask for the secrete to eternal happiness so why do I need endless emails from Barton? It's a watch band, nothing exceptional. Would I recommend Barton to a friend? Maybe but I'd warn them that Barton will drive them nuts with all the unwanted emails. Hopefully, this review will help them understand that I just wanted a watch band. I don't want to be Pen Pals.
