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

Strap is great. Comes with two sizes for the non-clasp side, so if you have an exorbitantly wide wrist, no problemLooks phenomenal on my Seiko sea urchin! Comfortable and no problems. Note I removed one of the “strap rings” that holds down the excess strap. I found the two rings to be excessive, but very easy to add and remove at will.

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.

Never thought I'd leave a review on a watch band. What's to say? It doesn't do anything, really. But I love this watch band. I bought a smartwatch, a pretty decent one, and the band was just kind of meh. It was silicone, but felt a bit slippery. The band keeper, that keeps the unused end of the band from flopping about, always moved and I had to adjust it multiple times a day. I had another plastic band and it didn't have that problem but was uncomfortable. Spending this much on such a simple thing seemed overkill, but this band certainly looked good and the 'locking keeper' was something I had not seen before. I didn't really expect it to work and thought I was likely wasting my money. I was wrong. This band is comfortable, stylish, and the keeper works. Not once have I had to adjust it, and I'm a very active dude. It even comes with 2 different lengths to choose from, in case you have giant wrists. I do not, so the smaller option worked for me, without having a large excess of band left over. Just right. My wrists are 7.25 inches in circumference, if your wrists are 7.75 or more inches around the larger would probably fit you better, but you get them both so try them out and see. Due to the quick release bars, install was easy and took maybe 20 seconds, just because my big clumsy fingers aren't the most dexterous. Fully 100% recommend this band. If I lost this watch somehow and had to buy another watch, I would order this band at the same time, knowing it will be better than whatever the watch comes with.

Very comfortable. Pretty easy to install once you get your old band off. The dimpling finish, which looks like fine woven fabric, the black buckle, and the contrasting inside all make for a nice appearance.Premium features: they sent 2 different length tongue straps,. The short straps looks a lot neater on my skinny wrists. The outer strap loop / retainer locks into the tongue strap so it stays in place.I used this for a Timex expedition. The space between the pin arms is 18 mm, but the original Timex bands are 20 mm as they project beyond the pin arms. Additionally, the Elite tapers, so is only 16 mm at the buckle. The effect is for a pretty narrow band which might look too skimpy on a big wrist.Is it worth $15 - $20? I could buy a new Timex expedition; with a new strap and a new battery for $37. So, if I didn't believe in using things till they wear out, maybe not. This replaces a standard version of the Barton strap that fell apart in two places after three years of daily wear including a couple of sweaty workouts a week. This one wore through at the pin cover after 30 months of pretty constant wear.

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.
