Clever, high quality and REALLY cool!
I love watches. Watch bands - not so much. I still wear a watch nearly every day and own at least a dozen at any given time. One watch - a Seiko - was a gift from my wife around 1972. It's a cool watch but had a stainless steel band that I always hated.Back then, you either got a leather band or a stainless steel band. Leather was easily damaged by sweat; stainless steel added weight to an already heavy timepiece. In addition, the metal bands didn't provide the range of sizes for all wrists without compromising the closure. If you wore it too snugly around your wrist, it felt like you were being cut; too loose and the watch flopped around and made you feel like it wasn't a part of you. Worse, metal bands aren't as easily adjusted without visiting your local jewelry store.But I digress . . . I didn't wear the Seiko very long or frequently because of the band - and it was among the first self-winding watches. Being accustomed to strapping on a quartz watch in the morning and not having to think about resetting the day/date and time made it more of a pain than anything. So, here I am, 50 years later and retired. I'd kept the Seiko all those years and still in the original box. Remembering that I had an old Timex Explorer on which I'd put a cheap rubber band, I wondered what was "new" in synthetic bands and my Amazon search suggested the line of Barton silicone watch bands. Wow!!I immediately ordered two - one for the Seiko and one for another watch that I wanted to wear that has a metal mesh band that was too fancy for everyday use and comfort. The premium Barton bands come with two straps for different wrist sizes. And there are two band retainers, one of which has a locking lug to keep it from sliding off. On the shorter band, you can remove the retainer without the lug. They look great and were relatively easy to install (my 70 year-old hands with some arthritis not withstanding). They come in a wide variety of colors. On many of them you can select both an outer and inner band color as well as the color of the metal clasp. I chose a blue band for the Seiko with a crimson inner band (see photo) with a stainless steel clasp. After 50 years, this is now my favorite watch.I highly recommend the Barton silicone bands for everyday use, working or playing outdoors, etc. They're comfortable and look great.

Very well made and fits comfortably
This is a very nice watch band. I have to be careful in selecting silicone bands as I have a tendency to breakout. I have had no reaction to the band and it wears comfortably. Two items I would like to mention. I have a fairly small wrist and usually need a small strap. This comes with two different size straps but I am wearing the longer one. There are two loops on the band. The one closer to the buckle is easy to use. The second has a small raised section in the loop that fits into a rectangular cutout at the end of the strap. Sometimes it is a little hard to get it to sit into the cutout.It is a very good band that fits well, doesn’t irritate the skin, and the color matches the watch as displayed on the Amazon Web site. I certainly will be purchasing more.

Awesome product!!! Read my review.
I dont usually write reviews, but I felt it would do an incredible disservice to this product to not share my thoughts.First, some back story. I have an automatic timepiece that I purchased abroad while in London. The timepiece itself was amazing. The leather watch band it came with, is complete junk. I went thru 2 of the original watch bands within 3 years.I decided to stop ordering replacements from the watch manufacturer in London and opted instead, to purchase locally at a mall near my home. In keeping with what the timepiece originally came with, I purchased a leather watch band, which cost me $50.00. In less than 3 months, that watch band broke and I returned to the mall and purchased a different leather watch band, which was also $50.00. In less than a month that watch band also broke.My timepiece remained in my desk for the next 6 months before I decided to take one last crack at a watch band replacement for it. This time I came to Amazon and selected a silicone band from Barton. From the moment I strapped it on my wrist, I was amazed at the quality and knew it would last for longer than any of the previous leather watches. It is so incredibly comfortable, and despite being silicone, pairs very well with my pricey timepiece. Unlike the leather bands before it which were stiff and uncomfortable, this watch band is soft and doesn't cause and pain on the nerves around my wrist. It even comes with 2 different size straps, and both fit my wrist so if that portion of the strap ever breaks, I have a replacement at the ready.I literally just opened the package less than 45 minutes before writing this review. It took less than a minute to attach the straps with the quick release feature. If you are considering this watch band, I highly recommend it and there are literally dozens from which you can choose. I hope that this review was helpful to you in making your decision. I was skeptical prior to purchasing, but having it on my wrist now I can say with 100% certainty that I would not hesitate to purchase this product again and again. In fact, given their amazing selection, I might just order a few different colors just to switch things up from time to time.

Looks Great. But…
it should be about half inch longer. It comes with two bottom straps and the larger of the two barely fits (there’s no chance of the smaller size fitting). My wrist measures ~7.75” — on the larger end of an “average” wrist circumference but nothing unique . I’m surprised there aren’t more reviews with this complaint . The band is comfortable for me on the third buckle hole, which is the minimum required to use the locking lug.

Best Silicone Watch Strap I've Found
This watch strap is extremely comfortable, well made, and looks great. I like this strap so much I've purchased 3 of them! I can also vouch for Barton's customer service. I received an incorrect item previously and they quickly sent me out a replacement free of charge. Given the price, quality, and level of service, I highly recommend this strap,

Très bonne qualité de bracelet.
Je le porte depuis 1 an environ.Très agréable au porté, on ne le sent pas, même quand il fait chaud. Pour la plus petite longueur de bracelet (il y a 2 longueurs dans le paquet) j'aurais enlevé un anneau car parfois il coince la peau avec l'anneau bloqueur.Bref très bonne qualité !Facile à installer.

Cinturino in caucciù Barton morbidissimo!!
Ottimo cinturino in caucciù. Pensavo fosse più spesso e più rigido, invece è sottile e molto flessibile. Al tatto è fantastico. La comodità e lo stile sono eccellenti, mi piace il fatto che di sotto abbia un altro colore e che ciò si noti leggermente anche di sopra e di lato. Dotato di sgancio rapido, se dovete passare da questo a un altro con sgancio rapido, ci impiegherete 20 secondi a cambiare il look del vostro orologio!Unico neo: costa al momento sui 26 euro. Ma data la qualità eccellente del cinturino, mi ritengo soddisfatto!

Hermosa, excelente calidad de materiales.
La correa es de una EXCELENTE calidad, no tengo quejas al respecto. Compré la que es color calabaza y desgraciadamente no pude combinarla con ningún reloj, tuve que regresarla. Quizá la compre en otro color, 0 quejas de la pieza.
