Leather Quick Release

I love this Barton band. I recently got an Orient open heart watch with a silver bracelet, but really loved the idea of a band with red/maroon stitching to match the dial. I put in the research and went with the Barton despite it being a little more than others. Well worth the extra few dollars. The clasp for easy swapping in and out is everything I’d hope it would be. Super easy to use, and prevents any nasty scratches from slipping with a tool. I have a 21mm gap between lugs. Sometimes a hard size strap to find. The 20 fit perfectly with no gaps between the pins and looks great. The 22 absolutely wasn’t going to work. Tried and failed. Quality is great. The band started a bit stiff since it was new, but quickly adjusted. The stitching is gorgeous and is exactly what I was hoping for. Barton will be my go to. No need to find another brand. Five stars.

I had gotten this band for my first gen moto 360. In the description, it notes as "not ideal" and that is because the portion of the band that will snap in has a lot of leather, and there is not much room in the moto 360 band holder. But if you squeeze it and finagle it, it will fit. Onto the actual review - I was wearing the band for about 2 or 3 weeks when I had an issue with the stitching on the underside of the band. I emailed Barton about this and after a couple quick email exchanges with Zach from Barton, a new one was sent out! Long story short, I got the new band and the stitching is perfect on this one. The quality of the leather is great and breaks in very well, which was a characteristic of both bands I had gotten. Looks sleek, and feels great. The underside of the leather turns a darker beige the more you wear it, but that is expected as sweat and dirt will get into the pores of the leather. Any band will do that. Perfect length for me; I use the 5th band notch as I have somewhat smaller wrists. Quick release is a very nice addon, especially for the moto 360 because there is not much room to mess with anything. So the quick release really comes in handy with the moto 360. I can see it not being a necessity for other watches (be it smart or not), but it is really a life saver with the moto 360. Overall, extremely happy with the band and the support from Barton. My next band will be from Barton, but that may take some time to get to the point of needing a new band.

Purchased for my Raketa Antarctica. Note for this particular watch is that most bands are extremely challenging to put on due to how close the lugs are to the case, but I was able to get this one on after a struggle. The strap is a nice, smooth black leather with bright orange thread accents. It was stiff, but curved naturally to my wrist after a day or two. I have two gripes. First, the packaging was IMO excessive. It comes in a thick, high quality cardboard box, then the strap has its own protective cover over it. It's a watch strap, I could honestly care less about the presentation when opening it and all I'm going to do with a fancy cardboard box is toss it in the recycling bin. Second, the back of the strap wrinkled (see pic) almost immediately. I have several leather watch bands with much more wear on them (this is a watch I rare maybe a couple times a month) and none have done this before. It's on the back so it's not really noticeable but it still happened.

Great! In my experience, Barton never fails to impress!

So easy to install. Soft leather- once if you’ve worn it for a week or so- it softens and ages beautifully.

I really love the watch band. It seems to be very well made and of good quality my only concern is that the leather scratches quite easily but I put leather conditioner on it and it's helped it a lot.

Easily installed and it fit perfectly. It was relatively expensive compared to other similar bands. The feel and look of the leather is cheap. Enough so that I don't believe the band is truly real leather. Shipping was free and the delivery time was average, so that was nice. The color was lighter than the photos on the post suggested. It looked to me on the post that the color was a dark brown, but when the band arrived it looked more like a milk chocolate brown. The texture of the leather was shiny and plasticky, but the post looked more matte like a suede to me. Which is what I wanted.
