desertcart.com: BARTON WATCH BANDS Elite Silicone Watch Bands - Quick Release, Black, 24mm : Cell Phones & Accessories Review: Good Strap, Fairly Priced - While the price is on the high side for silicone, and I would have preferred FLM "rubber", this is a good strap and is worth the money. First, 23mm is a difficult size to find and selection is very limited. Construction and packaging are first rate. It looks good and feels good. It's pretty pliable and eears comfortably. It's shipped from the USA, with relatively fast delivery I appreciate that Barton included two strap lengths with all of the products I've purchased from them thus far. It's a nice touch. The strap is beefy with only a slight taper from 23mm to 22mm. Coincidentally, the well made gunmetal grey buckle is a perfect colour and texture match for my watch (Casio ProTrek). An exact match. Much better than the generic silver grey that came on the original strap. My only small nitpick is I wish the bottom keeper locked in place. That said, at this time both keepers stay in the desired positions without issue. We'll see how this plays out over time. Not enough for knock off a star. This is a first-rate strap, despite being made in China. I can recommend it without hesitation. Review: Amazing bands - Bought a navy blue and smoke grey band for my and my SO's new Galaxy Watches (navy blue was for the rose gold watch, grey for black). We were initially intending on switching them out with the OEM bands that come with the watches as needed. I was also hesitant about the higher price tag of these bands compared to others (I'm generally a huge fan of getting cheap Chinese versions of things!). However, after putting these bands on, we both decided that these bands were well work the cost and that we were going to use these bands permanently. The bands feel amazing and are extremely comfortable. They are silicon so they work well with sweat when working out. They also look great in general. The ones with a different color on the inside/outside seemed like a insignificant detail but end up providing a nice subtle accent to the band. Compared to the OEM bands, we both found that this band fit better. On the OEM bands, both of us found that we were between two different holes for our ideal size. The holes are so close together that they shouldn't have this issue, but I believe the material of the Galaxy bands was stretchier or something and that exaggerated the gaps. It is true that compared to those bands, these bands are more rigid and feel more solid in their sizing. We both found that this band had no issue with "in-between" sizes. Another nice feature of this band I didn't realize until I used it was that the outer band loop holder thing has a locking mechanism with it. The outer one will "lock" into the band below it. The OEM bands would constantly slide and often I found the band would come out of the holder or the holder would get pushed far in and cause the band to stick out. No such problem with this band - great feature. My only issue I had is that the largest holes are near the end of the band. My wrists are at the large end of the small strap so I used the small strap instead of the longer one to reduce excess strap. This means I'm in the 2nd or 3rd hole from the end. Trying to feed the small amount of extra strap through the two holders is difficult as there is only just enough space past the buckle to fit both of them in. The OEM strap had a little more extra space after the last holes to prevent this issue. I ended up having to remove the inner holder and leave just the outer one, but fortunately since there isn't much excess strap, this doesn't cause a problem. All in all, these are great bands. I will be purchasing more of them for more color options in the future.

I'd recommend!!

Great Band For My Huawei Watch 2, Excellent Customer Service
UPDATE: Dec 2019 Well, after just over 6 months of use, the holes in the band started to break so I had to set it to either a tighter or looser hole. I was very disappointed because I expected it to last longer than 6-7 months. I wear my watch in a business environment so it's not like it's being mistreated. I reached out to Barton Customer Service and they were very quick to respond and send out a brand new replacement which arrived in just a few days. So, Unfortunately, I had to lower my rating by one star due to the quality/lifespan of the band. However, they stand behind their products and respond very quickly. I will give the replacement another six months to try and if it lasts longer than the first, I will update my review on the quality. Again, Customer service has been excellent. SO I really liked the look of the band that came with my HW2but it really wasn't that comfortable and was a bit stiffi. I came across the Barton Elite bands and thought it would be worth a try. I am really glad I decided to try it out because it was very easy to install and incredibly comfortable! My HW2 fits so much better now. The small notch in the band retention loops is a nice touch too because it keeps the band from slipping out of the loops. I've had it a couple months now and it has stood up well to daily use and abuse. I will probably buy a couple more as the color combinations are very extensive. Great band and I highly recommend it!

Best Silicon strap for the money!
Excellent fit, finish and value. Perfect for my Citizen Eco-Drive diver! High quality, easy to change and looks great.

nice comfortable strap, very easy to install due to the built in spring pins. I appreciate the “locking “ keeper at the end to keep the strap from unraveling. overall quality is very good and I already recommended this to friends UPDATE: I have 20mm and 22mm on Seiko Diver watches and works OK. ordered another one for a Citizen in 23mm. fit is snug due to the pin holes on the inside of the lug. make sure you measure your watch first using a caliper to ensure proper fit. a 1mm difference is a LOT and will be obvious. measurement is the key. different watch brands have different lug widths, so take note. I like the quality on this strap (elite). may not be suitable in a rugged setting due to the quick release pins built in. but if you like switching straps on the fly, this brand is a good option with a variety of colors and materials.

古いバンドを使い続けるのがどうしても気になって耐久性が高くて色合いもちょうど渋かったので購入しました。 季節を問わずいつでも使えるのが良い点だと思います。

I bought the navy blue strap to replace the standard one on my Citizen Promaster Eco-drive Dive watch, which is a very similar blue colour. This strap is much more flexible than the standard one, and looks like it was always meant to be paired with this watch, or any similar one to be honest. The brushed buckle is perfect, and the strap thickness is just right making it feel very comfortable. The strap loops are solid and the second one has a neat little insert that fits in the end hole of the strap, making it stay in place all day. Does make removing it slightly more tricky though but not an issue. The textured pattern on the strap is something I was a little concerned about until I saw it in the flesh, but its actually very subtle in reality and adds a slightly more premium feel to it. Can't speak for the durability of the strap yet, as I've only had it a week. I did replace the standard quick release bars though with the ones that came with the watch, as the ones in the strap have quite small ends to them, which rattled quite a bit in my watch case lugs. They were fine to be fair, but I just felt happier with the larger standard pins. Pulling out the quick release bars was tricky as it is impossible to not damage the small slot in the rubber where the quick release lever is. But it hardly matters as it doesn't affect the strap and it is not visible being on the underside. I think the strap is a little on the pricey side, as I have purchased NATO type straps & Archer silicone straps before for around £13, and they were fine, so at £20 its a bit more pricey, but so far I would say it is worth it for the additional quality feel and features it gives. Would definitely buy another if I needed to.

Voulant un bracelet silicone pour ma montre automatique ( possibilité de baignade ou autre ) je me suis penché sur ce modèle que j'ai aussi pris en 22mm ( noir et rouge ). Au déballage le silicone est vraiment très agréable à voir sur la durée. L'ergonomie si on puis dire est bien pensée, le bracelet est préformé au niveau de la zone des cornes. Le petit ergot pour attacher en sécurité la fin de la boucle est une très bonne idée.
