BARTON WATCH BANDSBARTON Quick Release - Top Grain Leather Watch Band Strap - Choice of Colour & Width - 16mm, 18mm, 19mm, 20mm, 21mm 22mm, 23mm or 24mm

***Update at the bottom***I was looking for a replacement strap for my Citizen EcoDrive. Upon searching Amazon I discovered Barton offer a similar black strap with red stitching in the appropriate 23mm.The strap is presented within its own sleeved packaging. Which is great for storage and makes it feel a little more premium. The strap itself isn't the thickest leather but is soft enough. Barton uses a quick release spring bar, allowing straps to be swapped quickly. Unfortunately I had to replace these as my own watch uses curved ones. However I have some areas of concern. The leather around the buckle and the spring bars is quite thin and could deteriorate causing the strap to fail. I would like to see some stitching at the spring bar end and a bit more leather. The stitching itself also goes around the outside of the strap to the underside at the spring bar end. This could easily be snagged, and from other reviews, has been. The loops also appear to be made of a much cheaper material than the rest of the strap.Overall it's a decent strap that is nicely presented . Unfortunately at £24 it's a little too expensive for the relative quality. I feel it should be price around £20 and I can't help but feel that Barton are using the packaging to justify the additional premium.***Update***So after nearly a year of use I am happy to report that the strap has held up really well. The leather has worn in nicely and the stitching is still intact. Over the months it has become more comfortable. I've given it an extra star. However it's worth noting that the price has risen further. Which is disappointing.

I ordered weathered brown strap but light brown was shipped. One of its springs didn't fit I have to replaced it with another. Due to this reasons I didn't get real value for my money.

Was searching for a good quality, well made and durable leather strap, as metal link bracelet strips pinch.The leather feels thick and the napping on the inside makes it soft and comfortable to wear.It is a tight-ish fit for my Galaxy 4 Classic smartwatch which has led to some noticeable scuffing on the surface of the strap where it rubs against the watch case.The strap does feel a bit shorter in length, and the bands that wrap it around are quite thick, which does annoy me when I'm at a desk.

Bought for replace metal one, and its really comfortable, wearing over the year now, and still looks very good

This is a nicely made watch strap and the leather is good quality. Unfortunately, the blue version I bought for my son has leached colour for weeks. I thought this would stop after a while so we delayed contacting the supplier. Now we have missed the returns window and have no way to contact the supplier. I would suggest you avoid the blue straps.

The leather is soft enough to bend, comfortable enough and looks nice. Also, it doesn’t taper (it’s of constant width), which suits me.However, the adjustment holes are too far apart so it will be a hit and miss if it fits you. I can’t get a good fit on any watch I tried with this strap, it’s either too tight to open my hand or too loose to stay on the wrist, nothing in between.Into the drawer it goes, maybe I’ll get have a watch that it fits in the future.

I own a Breitling Navitimer and the OEM watch strap and deployment clasp rubbed against my wrists and made wearing the watch unbearable. I spent hundreds on that strap and clasp and hated wearing it. I finally decided to buy this £20 strap and not only did it fit perfectly, it was the most comfortable experience I've ever had of wearing my Breitling. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because the leather is a little thin compared to my OEM leather strap. I wish it was 1-2mm thicker. The push release mechanism works a treat and its saves a lot of fiddling around with the pins and potentially scratching the inside.

Bought at reduced price and not worth it really. Comfy yes and good looking, but showing too much wear for too little wrist time. Looks like keepers will stay original colour for much longer than the strap so could eventually look a bit odd.I wouldn’t buy this strap again.
