BARTON WATCH BANDSBARTON Elite Silicone Watch Bands - Quick Release - Choose Strap Color & Buckle Color (Stainless Steel, Black PVD or Gunmetal Grey) - 18mm, 20mm, 22mm & 24mm Watch Straps

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.

Purchased 3 other bands and unfortunately none of them were waterproof or fit very well. Thankfully this band is very high quality and not too thick. Very comfortable and has a long and a short band, which is good since I have small wrists. Love the locking feature and the metal buckle is very high quality. Would recommend to anyone needing a replacement band. Looks great on my Withings Scanwatch.

I don't usually do product reviews, but this strap is awesome. I like the texture on the band, and it feels nice on the wrist. I have a pretty hairy arm/wrist, and so I was worried about the silicone band catching the hairs and being uncomfortable on the wrist, but it's not. It's VERY comfortable to wear, and looks great on my Seikex mod. Feels like there's nothing there. The locking feature on the strap is nice, so the end doesn't flop around and catch on things. And because they're so affordable, I think I'll buy another.

This fit my timex expedition.I bought this for one purpose, to keep my watch from continually rotating off the outside edge of my wrist. It significantly reduced the rotation on my wrist over the original fabric band that came with my watch, so I am happy with that. It also doesn't retain water if you leave your watch on in the shower. I am not sensitive to certain materials, but I will say this band is very comfortable so if you are sensitive to how something feels on your wrist, you will like this band.It does come with a short and long band so you don't have to worry about if it will fit your wrist.I haven't ripped it yet, but for heavy duty use, where you are snagging your wrist on things all the time, this may end up tearing. I have snagged my watch on a few walls now when walking through doorways and surprisingly have not ripped the band yet. This could be a good thing, say if you are jumping in and out of heavy equipment or trucks all day and are worried about the dreaded snagging your watch on a window sill and pealing your flesh up to your hand, because the band didn't break. This will most likely break before causing and damage to your flesh.

This watch band is high quality, includes two sizes of bands for a personalized fit, and a pull back mechanism that makes installing it a breeze, I highly recommend it!

Awesome strap, I’ve had it for about a year and put it through all sorts of stuff, It’s been in the sun, lakes, oceans and forests. Looks as good as the day I got it, highly recommended!

Compré esta correa para sustituir la original del Omega by Swatch Moonwatch. Funciona perfectamente. Es muy cómoda y se ve muy bien. Se acopla perfectamente. El mecanismo para colocarla y quitarla es excelente.

El silicon es suave y de buena calidad, lo cual hace que la correa sea muy cómoda. El orificio más grande embona con la presilla final impidiendo que esta se mueva y nos incomode. La recomiendo al 100%

Material de buena calidad, hasta ahora todo bien con el, lo volveria a comprar

I had recently bought a GWG-1000 Mudmaster G-Shock, and despite liking the overall toughness and wrist presence of the stock strap, it was starting to become quite uncomfortable on my wrist.I came across Barton watch straps from a YouTube video, where the reviewer had chosen to replace his very own Mudmaster with one of these straps.I decided to buy the Elite Silicone strap, as I knew that it would have all the benefits of a rubber strap in terms of wrist comfort, but that it would also be durable, sweat resistant and stylish.I am happy to report that my decision was spot on, as I am able to wear my Mudmaster in the gym, and not notice any difference when compared to the stock strap, but with the much added benefit of superior comfort.
