I recently purchased a new Seiko Alpinist watch, and although I loved the watch itself, the strap was awful. It didn’t look right, but worse, it made the watch feel as though it just didn’t fit my wrist. I nearly returned the piece, but then I saw a review of the watch on a Barton strap. I purchased leather, NATO and canvas straps, hoping I’d like one of them. I love all three. The spring bar tool from Burton instantly removed the Seiko strap, and the quick release pins work effortlessly. I can change from one strap to another in no time, making this watch so much more versatile than I would have thought when I bought it. I highly recommend Burton watch bands!
