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

While the price is on the high side for silicone, and I would have preferred FLM "rubber", this is a good strap and is worth the money. First, 23mm is a difficult size to find and selection is very limited. Construction and packaging are first rate. It looks good and feels good. It's pretty pliable and eears comfortably. It's shipped from the USA, with relatively fast delivery I appreciate that Barton included two strap lengths with all of the products I've purchased from them thus far. It's a nice touch. The strap is beefy with only a slight taper from 23mm to 22mm. Coincidentally, the well made gunmetal grey buckle is a perfect colour and texture match for my watch (Casio ProTrek). An exact match. Much better than the generic silver grey that came on the original strap. My only small nitpick is I wish the bottom keeper locked in place. That said, at this time both keepers stay in the desired positions without issue. We'll see how this plays out over time. Not enough for knock off a star. This is a first-rate strap, despite being made in China. I can recommend it without hesitation.

Band is very soft and confy. It was very easy to install. Looks like it came with the watch.

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.

Comfortable band, nice material, color is great. Only complaint was the pins just weren't long enough by just a hair's breadth. You can see in the images that the band is the right fit for the watch, I believe. The pins though would just barely reach from side to side, and any pressure whatsoever even picking the watch up would make them fall out. They were just a little bit too short. I ended up using the pins from my original band which is what is seen in the images.

Im honestly so impressed by these bands! I have an emergency bracelet and I looked everywhere to find bands that would fit it even bought 3 before this one on amazon and nothing but this one fits perfectly and is so soft, looks great, easy to change with old band if needed, breathable, and threw quality is just great! I'd recommend!!

Excellent fit, finish and value. Perfect for my Citizen Eco-Drive diver! High quality, easy to change and looks great.

A-Maze-ING! Bought a new Garmin Forerunner 165. Love the watch but the band was sticky, made my skin itch, felt cheap. Researched and this looked like the best "rubber" watch band out there. I don't think I could have made a better choice. Totally took my watch up, like, 3 notches and for rubber, is very comfortable, not sticky, not as cheap and super-stretchy as cheaper, thinner, models. Has almost the feel of woven nylon. Very classy. Actually came with two different band ends (opposite the clasp part of the strap) so should fit women/smaller wrists no problem and without lots of strap slop. I bought the leather too, but, it may go back. It's actually a more heat retaining and not as comfortable on the skin. The quality is definitely there, but, for a sports watch, I'm not sure it makes sense. Quick release bands work great. But, not sure I would flip back and forth often between bands... not sure eventual wear and tear on either the spring or pin would cause it to pop out, or, if the pocket on the watch could eventually get loose. That said, i want the next watch up in the Garmin line so, maybe a happy accident could occur... hmm.. I'll let you know if I do switch out bands often and try to post if I get any good data/info.

Bought this to replace a 20mm leather band on a Garmin D2. The best things I can say is that it fit on the watch, the quick-change mechanism worked well, and it went on easily. Despite the description, it DOES NOT look or feel like leather. The color is a flat brown, and the texture feels and looks like silicon. The two loops that hold the strap down after the buckle are remarkably tight and surprisingly sticky, which actually makes it hard to put on and take off. It does the job, but I am still looking for another band. I would not buy this again.
