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

This is an excellent quality leather watch strap. Well made. Nicely finished. Quick release makes it easy to fit. Considering the watch maker wants £90 for a strap that looks almost identical this is definitely value for money.

Great packaging and quality product, love the feel and colour I chose fits my watch well, the easy clip on and off your watch is easy to do.

***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.

Very nice looking strap, exactly how it was advertised. Fits very snug onto the watch casing. Softer leather (I have other straps from elsewhere and they are much stiffer and still not softened), so is very comfortable on the wrist. The overall quality seems very high with some excellent stitching (doesn't look like it will come apart any time soon!). And although these are some of the more expensive straps I have seen, but also I guess you get what you pay for as this is higher quality than some I already own. Altogether very happy so far!

One of the headlines for this product is "quick release". Well, the pins were too short for my Citizen watch despite being the correct 22mm size. It took me quite a wile to prize the "quick release" pins out of the new strap so I could use the old pins that came wit the watch. So with "quick release" becoming "time consuming struggle" all that is left is the quality of the strap to consider:It seems well made. Comfortable on the wrist and looks good. Fairly high price to pay for a strap, time will tell if it is worth it.

I was after a leather strap for my Apple watch and that would fit the various attachments. The quick release pins were easy to remove and replace with the Apple watch clasps.Seems to be good quality leather and looks smart. I'd buy again based on my experience.

It takes a while for me to replace a worn watch strap. What can replace something that has been useful and stylish. Fortunately your strap, chosen after some deliberation, does just that and more. The strap, itself, is well made and very comfortable. The red stitching on black leather is eye catching. I thought the blue box was a particularly good idea. Functional and interesting. Thank you Barton. Only one problem for me is the idea that a few minutes work will give my watch a completely new look may make me into a strap addict.

Strap delivered and installed today on my Seiko. Initial impressions were very good, the strap feels very nice and soft whilst it looks thick enough to last a decent length of time.The reason I brought this strap was for ease of fitting and this is where it fell down slightly I'm afraid...The long side slotted in nicely using the quick release toggle but the short side would not fit, it was like the pin was too long for some reason. This was sorted out by a small file and a little bit of elbow grease but if you buy a strap for its ease of use and you have to make modifications to it then maybe its not the strap for you.All in all a nice comfortable, good looking strap which looks like it will stand the test of time but the Barton quality guys could do with looking at the small details a little better.

I got this band became the metal band which came with my watch was constantly bending the pins that held it in place. I selected the band because of the leather quality, color and style. I carefully measured the width of the pins with a metric rule, 22 mm, and placed the order. It was received very promptly. The Barton system of attaching pins to the watch needs no tools and was easy to perform. I am very pleased with the band.

Needs to changed again …

Quedo perfecto como lo esperaba de muy buena calidad

Be careful the band is in the right place because my husband lost his watch. check it every time you put it on.

The colour was as pictured. My watch looks like brand new
