BARTON WATCH BANDSBarton Alligator Grain - Quick Release Leather Watch Bands - Choose Colour & Width - 16mm, 18mm, 20mm, 22mm, or 24mm

After the usual period of research, plumped for the Barton watch band (22mm in my case). Delighted with it: good quality leather which is gradually softening with wear, very smart looking and well finished. Excellent product, thank you.

I've always bought either faux leather straps, which don't last long and lose their colour very quickly or silicone straps which bring me out in a rash. So this time when I needed a new strap I decided to splash out and invest in a good quality real leather strap and chose this nice red alligator effect strap from Barton. I've been wearing it for two months now and it's been great, the initial stiffness when new soon wears off and it's very comfortable to wear. It's retained it's colour and still looks as good as new with no sign of wear like I used to get with the faux leather. Although it's not the most expensive by any means It cost more than I usually pay but I'm more than happy as it will retain it's good looks and I won't need to replace it as frequently as I used to do with the cheap ones - so I feel I've made a good investment with this strap and can recommend it to anyone considering purchasing it.

Not the cheapest but its a very good fit and the quality looks ok, not sure if it will show early signs of cracking like on reviewer mentioned as I've only been wearing it for about a month.Alligator grain looks good and from a distance you would be hard pressed to notice its not real alligator, leather was a bit stiff but after a week or so it was fine.

I get through quite a few leather watch bands and found this brand online, I liked the design and decided to try them. I am very impressed! The quality and finish is as good as a band costing three times the price, I particularly like the quick change spring bars as I like to change my watch bands regularly. I accidentally ordered the wrong size at first and contacted the people at Barton, they could not have been more helpful and the replacement arrived in two days. I will definitely be getting all of my watch bands from Barton in future. Very pleased.

I had my grandads old watch passed down to me, but I didn't have the strap. I bought this to honour its style and its flawless. A fantastic product choice.

I like it, the red is nice and it is going with all other shades of red as well. Sits very well on dark watch, as you can see in the picture. I will have to see how durable it is.Update: After 2 months of constant wear, the strap is like new. So it seems it is durable enough.

The design and quality are good. Reasonably comfortable. I have fairly small wrists at 7.5" or 19cm, but I still would have preferred a longer strap. Anyone with normal sized and certainly large wrists will not be happy. The strap is around 4.75" / 12.5cm on the long side and 3.5" / 8.3cm on the buckle side.

I wanted to replace the strap n my Mondaine but couldn’t find one of theirs in red. This not only makes a good replacement but was considerably cheaper and it is very easy to fit.
