Barton Silicone Watch Bands - Quick Release Straps - Choose Color & Width - 16mm, 18mm, 20mm, 22mm or 24mm - Soft Rubber

Ideal for Seiko 5 model 7009-3100 A1. I may have purchased the wrong width strap at 20mm perhaps the 18mm would have fit better. The silicone was only about 1mm too wide as we're the pins. To make it fit I reused the original pins that came with the watch. The original strap was about 19mm wide so the new strap looks a perfect fit. I am working outside all day in all weather conditions and this strap feels comfortable all day. The inside of the strap has indented letters for the brand this can pick up a little dust or sweat but easily washes off at the end of the day and after a couple of weeks has not shown any degradation. Do I think it is worth the money yes it's smart and robust. The included pins with the easy adjustment feature is a nice touch and they are tougher than the original pins. If you purchased different coloured straps this would be easy to hotswap them for a different look. Hope you found this review helpful.

A neat, stylish watch band that looks and feels comfortable and durable. Thee quick release option makes fitment (and replacement) easy, and colour options cater for all tastes and watch designs. It's worth taking time to measure your watch/band accurately, but Barton are keen to offer customer support if there are any problems or returns required. A worthwhile purchase and I will consider Barton first in future for replacement watch straps/bands.

DeliveryItem did not arrive on first order due to what I was informed was a courier network error, which happened again. Third attempt reordering yielded successful delivery.ProductBarton's QR silicon strap is well illustrated by the listing here. Silicon feels smooth if not a little too soft but generally strong.No tools needed to mount it due to a tiny lever attached to each spring bar that can be used to depress the spring bars by hand. Due to small size (few mms) could be fiddly for larger fingers, but any larger and the QR lever would run the risk of poking out excessively through the inner surface of the bands.The buckle is decent, arriving with a sticker on the outer face to reveal a smooth surface. The buckle could be more polished and even seems to have a few lightly scratched areas on the inside. However, it is by no means flimsy, and I trust it's composition to be of harder varieties of metal than cheap substitutes.Length of strap is good, can accommodate a lot larger wrists than mine.A definite competitor is the Archer QR silicon strap, which I had the pleasure of comparing:Silicon is the same consistency and thickness.QR works in same way and is similar if not identical.The buckle of Archer has the logo inscribed on the inside of the buckle, which along with the fuller shape of the buckle makes for an initially better looking buckle. Buckle also came with a sticker to protect the outer buckle. However, closer inspection reveals the pin of the buckle (on the one I got) was tilted such that the pin was horizontally misaligned with the central groove in the buckle on the Archer. In light of this I have returned it for a refund.Other than this, Barton's USP over its closest competitor is that the inside surface of the strap is textured with a squared pattern of bumps. This gives it a slightly better feel, reflecting that contact between the silicon strap and skin is a bit less of an airtight seal, as with the untextured Archer strap.SummaryOverall Barton strap is strong and convenient. It is similar to it's competitor Archer , with the differences in Bartons's superior buckle quality and textured inside strap and guide loop surfaces. I hope my review helps you decide on your purchase, please feel free to comment if you have any questions regarding this. I have made this my everyday wear strap, so will be able to shed light on most pertinent queries.

Very good quality strap; rivals the stock strap in terms of build quality that came with my wearable - have this on my Huawei Sport 2. Have used cheaper, rubbish straps previously - definitely a noticeable difference with these American manufactured straps, vs Chinese ones. Stainless steel buckle is solid, although I swapped this out for a black buckle I had (colour preference only) and the quick release spring release bar is chunky and sturdy - still a little flimsy compared to others but it's very good. There's also miniature rivets on the underside of the strap which provides some bite and grip for your wrist, comfortable; but not airy - not sweaty, but your skin feels a little suffocated from the silicone but it's not an issue. All in all, very happy - and we know Barton have some amazing colour choices at offer other than what's available here - get some more in!

Bought this for my Galaxy watch active 2, and my thoughts about are split! The quality of the silicone seems very good, not too much of a lint magnet like the really cheap ones, no horrible smell either. It's quite comfortable and looks very good on my watch, especially along side my Spigen watch cover. I just feel that it doesn't quite fit on my wrist right, I think this is due to the buckle strap being a little bit too short. This means that instead of the buckle sitting in the middle of my inner wrist as it was with the stock band, it's actually sitting too much to one side for my liking. That combined with having to buy the silver buckle because black want wasn't available makes me a bit disappointed. The silver is too visible and it puts me off the strap. I was hoping I'd put this on and be happy but I'm not so I've had to order an alternative. Gutted really as the quality does appear to be present. If it perhaps came with 2 sizes as some do I might of been able to get it to fit as I wanted to.

I have had a pulsar kinetic sport watch for many years now and it came with a woven strap (on the right). It was really worn and I needed to breathe some new life into my trusty hard wearing watch.I totally ordered the wrong size so ordered 20mm this time and put the new strap on the watch. It really has made the watch feel like new again. Really nice feel to the strap. I really.like the fact you can just unclog the straps with the little clasps.Will be buying some different colours in future to change around.Great stuff.
