“I vacillated between 4 and 5 stars, but decided to go with 5. The "problem", if there is one, is with the silicone band being more difficult to work with than bands of different material. The silicone has good overall quality, but is stubborn when it comes to sliding it into the loops. If tends to bind a bit before being forced together. The other qualities of the band carried it to the 5 star rating as far as I was concerned.”
“I had depended on jewelry stores to swap out my watch bands. Many times the quality of the watchbands had been low and they had not lasted very long. The Barton Black Elite Silicon was of the highest quality and was in fact easy to switch out myself. I will change out my watch bands myself from now on using Barton Watch Band products.”
“I have this idea that the perfect watch is one that is accurate, thin, light and durable enough that I won't ever have to take it off. So I found this watch that meets maybe 90% of this criteria but it came with a leather strap (which previously meant I had to take off when showering / swimming / washing dishes). That all changed after changing the leather strap with the Barton Elite Silicone because now I'm practically wearing the watch all the time, everywhere. The strap is virtually waterproof and the material is soft and feels comfortable on the skin. This strap is one of the best watch-related purchases I've ever made.”
