BARTON WATCH BANDSBARTON Canvas Quick Release Watch Band Straps - Choose Color & Width - 18mm, 19mm, 20mm, 21mm, 22mm, 23mm, or 24mm

Had original OEM watchband for 8 years on the solar watch and it had been badly fraying around edges, eyelet around commonly used setting had fallen off and small metal piece went directly through band material, and as a result became loose and watch would sometimes fall off if I contacted something with my watchband. This replacement watchband has the 18mm width to attach to the watch although it doesn't have the flare to match the full width just below the attachment point to the watch like the original OEM watchband. I have one minor quibble in that the two segments of the watchband are different lengths from the original OEM watchband and so instead of the watch sitting centered on the middle of the top of my left wrist, it sits towards the left side of the top of that wrist, which is a little annoying. I sometimes will move it to the center position on my wrist for it to feel more comfortable, then it will slide back to its prior position with any movement on my part. I'll put up with it though since getting an original OEM watchband for the watch costs $63 and change plus shipping (I consider that ridiculous, I paid $127 for the solar watch back in July 2014), while this watchband cost $23.70 including tax.

I react horribly to leather and silicone bands, so I was so happy to find these. I own them in many colors now, just change them out and wash the other one. They handle being handwashed well, they dry quickly. Sometimes if my wrist is bent too far, it'll pop off but they're easy to click back into place. My oldest band is 2 years old and is just starting to wear down on the loops you put the excess band through; worth it to me!

I was looking for something akin to a standard old fashion army band. I love the esthetic of that look. I had installed it the normal way with the longer band with holes at the bottom; however, the weight of my watch kept moving it out of place on my wrist where the smartwatch monitors can perform correctly. I reversed the straps on the watch and this countermeasure helped tremendously. The material, which is heavy duty, is still stiff but am hoping that constant use will soften it. It's pretty comfortable but again, I'd like for the fabric to be "worn in".

I've ordered 4 of these bands over the past few years - they are good looking and comfortable. I basically wear the same watch all day every day, so the band is subject to wear. When it does (after about 6 months), the small straps/loop holders that keep the band on the wrist will reveal a white plasticky interior, so I'm on my 4th one of these. Also, quick release pins are a joke (not unique to this brand). If you want your watch to stay put replace them with ordinary straight pins.

The first one I bought lasted two years. It is still together minus 1 retaining band and dirty. I bought a new one for my watch and the clasp side of the band is too short. This causes the buckle to sit off center of your wrist causing the watch to roll.So the first one lasted pretty well, the second is almost unusable

The canvas style watchbands look good enough, are not expensive and are very easy to change from one to another once you see the small metal piece used to contract the pin. The metal piece is the size of a pin head. If you're struggling to remove the band you are like me and didn't read the directions. The bands remove very easily. I bought three bands. The colors (shades of colors) were not as good as I would have liked, Many manufacturers/buyers do this. No taste in shades of color. The ones who can appreciate a good shade when they see it charge more for the product. The material is OK for durability but the comfort could be better. Shipping cost on 4 extra pins was over $16. The pins sold for about $12. They were as light as a piece of paper. Amazon Prime was nice enough to give me a one time pass on the shipping. Thanks Amazon. I have no idea what the material is from which they are made. It's called canvas from what I remember.

You need a 22 mm if you have this watch. The 21 mm kept falling out (immediately). The 22 mm has stayed in place as it should for a couple weeks now. See the pic. Don't really know about the durability yet. I have the canvas version on some of my other watches, they look nice but are a bit "faded" right out of the box. Depends if you want it to look worn or new I guess. The one pictured is the silicone/rubber version.

Good quality. No major issues. Easily fits on my 23mm Citizen watch. I just wish it was a little bit longer. There's wasn't an extra long version available to buy so I had to accept this one, i have to use the very last hole when fastening it (I have very large hands and wrists).Still, it works well, and most people don't have that problem, so... Nothing else to complain about.

I've had my Barton strap fitted to my watch since receiving it almost exactly a month ago, I've since worn the watch almost every day until today when the stitching failed. To me this represents poor quality control in what is fundamentally a well designed product. Rather disappointing to say the least, but seems consistent with some of the other reviews. A watch strap should be a simple thing to get right, I will continue my search for the right strap for me.Coincidently, I just noticed that my Amazon return window closed the day the stitching failed, I've contacted Barton Watch Bands directly to see how they want to handle this.

I have had this strap for just under a year, fitted to a Huawei Watch 2 which I wear most of the time - even when I'm asleep (the watch does have sleep tracker after all). It is much more comfortable and lighter than the horrible one supplied. With any strap like this you have to hope the holes are in the right place for you, I find one is a bit loose but the next one up too tight.My biggest gripe is the durability, this strap is not cheap but one of the end retaining loops (it had 2) has broken and I don't think the other will last much longer. I used to have a animal watch with a webbing velcro strap - these would last 3-4 years and were regularly used in the wet - I haven't got this strap wet (as the watch isn't waterproof).Would give 4 stars if it was half the price.

This is my third Barton strap, as there's nothing else out there that matches them for quality, design, range and value. Add to that the clever quick release system that makes changing the straps a breeze, and you have a winning formula. I have been looking for a genuine cotton canvas (as opposed to the ubiquitous nylon) to replace an original Hamilton strap for years, and the Barton is far better quality with a huge range of colours.I've also bought the top grain leather and suede straps and each one has been great. It's also important to add that these straps are not tapered, and have a squared off end. Difficult to find, but infinitely better looking, so that's another added bonus.So if you've seen a new watch that you fancy, but don't like the strap that it comes with, then just replace it with a Barton. It never ceases to amaze me how a strap can completely change the look of a watch. Or, better still, cheer up that old friend that lies in your room by buying a couple of alternatives to give it a great new look! Thoroughly recommended.

I purchased this strap specifically because of the material of the strap and that it was fitted with the quick release spring bars.My intention was to wear it continuously, regardless of what I was doing, especially having to get it wet.I have worn it for about two weeks and unfortunately the strap, especially the runners has already started to fade badly. Being a black strap it shows up worse and now the runners and the edges of the strap are a showing a light greyish colour.And I am in the process of returning it. Which is a great shame as the strap fits perfectly and is very comfortable to wear.ADD - ON 26.09.18Since my review, Barton contacted me and were extremely apologetic and offered to replace or refund the cost.I accepted their offer of a replacement strap, which arrived very quickly earlier today.Initially, I was going to send the strap back, but the fading on the strap has grown on me and actually suits my vintage looking watch nicely.Apart from the fading of its colour, I have to say that the strap is extremely comfortable to wear.

So far very happy with my choice of strap, the khaki colour matches my bronze diver absolutely perfectly.Now let us get down to the strap review.Comfort firstly I was pleasantly supprised to find the strap very comfortable straight out of the box no breaking in required it was comfortable to wear all day long. So no problems here.The finish and build quality I found very good for the price point. The attention to detail on the stitching is excellent all perfectly straight with reinforcement around the sizing holes for extra durability.The brushed stainless steel buckle is also of good quality and matches the style of strap perfectly.The quick release spring bars are always a bonus providing they are of a decent strength and quality finish and these seem fine.As for the longevity of the strap and quick release spring bars only time will tell but I honestly can't forsee any problems.Now for the negatives, this will be quick as I can't find any just one or two little niggles. Firstly and this is not a fault of the strap but I would have liked to have seen these with different buckle finishes for example polished, brushed and PVD coated. Not quite a deal breaker but mine would have looked better with a black PVD coated buckle to match the crown. I would have liked the strap to be a little thicker but having said that it probably would not be as comfortable and would also cost a little more. Still on the fence with the thickness as I would not like to trade it for the comfort factor.Just to summarise these straps are excellent for the money in all the areas that matter the most, I am just hoping I can say the same in time for the longevity of the strap. I will update with some more thoughts after I have owned this strap for enough time to test it properly.I can see several more of these beauty's on the horizon to complement some of my other watches.Thanks for taking the time to read my little review.
