“This is the second band I've bought from Barton and my experience with this band has been very good. It looks great and feels more durable than its price would suggest. There are two things in particular that set this band apart from others that I have used: the sizing and the keepers. It is designed to accommodate wrists both small and large. It's nice not to have to punch an extra hole in the band to make it fit for once. And the keepers, which are the loops meant to hold the end of the band in place so it doesn't stick out, are very well designed. They're thick and durable and hold the end of the band firmly and snugly. This seemingly small detail, as well as the quick release spring bars, make a big difference and make other bands I have look cheap and less thoughtfully designed. That said, I do have a couple very minor complaints about the band. The actual band does not have the soft, suede like finish that is shown in the product's photograph. It has a slightly glossy finish, which isn't really a problem but it's not what's pictured. Also, the area around the eyelet where I affix the buckle shows significant signs of wear after a short time, mostly in the form of wrinkling. It doesn't seem like it'll rip or wear all the way through any time soon but it's quite noticeable. Again, these are small complaints that don't really affect the actual usage of the band but they're worth mentioning. Overall I would definitely recommend this band. It's a good value for the price and one of the better leather bands I've used.”
“The black leather 24 mm red stitching was received yesterday. I’m more than happy. I have a watch with an odd lug width and Barton watches had the solution by fitting 23 mm quick release spring bars on the 24 mm strap. It fits perfectly. If you have a black dial watch with hints of red like in the hands or indices or whatever then I would definitely consider this strap.”
“The red stitching was a little brighter than expected (but growing on me), but the quality and shipping were excellent. Will definitely be a return customer.”
“Replaced my old strap that looked similar- leather and packaging was beyond expectations; and an easy check out and tracking of the strap made it even better.”
“Before I start reviewing the band, i must speak about the company itself. Ordered two bands for two watches. Both were wrong size- MY FAULT. One email and They shipped me the right ones...so understanding.
As for the product... For the price you spend, no other band comes close! Quick release pins are great. Color options for hardware. The leather band is supple and quality hide, but I wish it had a thicker profile, though this is personal preference. I will order from again”
“Glad I purchased this band. The silicone band that came with my watch was very annoying. The leather broke in very nice and now fits my wrist perfectly”
“I bought this to pop on an old favorite and it looks great! I was so impressed with the quality and craftmanship as well as ease of ordering I purchased many more for my collection!”
