Barton Quick Release - Top Grain Leather Watch Band Strap - Choice of Width - 16mm, 18mm, 19mm, 20mm, 21mm 22mm, 23mm or 24mm

This Barton quick-release strap is a standout. The top-grain leather is soft yet sturdy, with a refined look that fits both casual and formal wear. It fit my Timex Marlin Chronograph perfectly, and the quick-release pins made installation easy. Super comfortable from day one, and the brown leather pairs well with nearly any watch face. Great quality!

I got this to go my Longines Spirit watch & its a perfect fit, it looks great too. The quick release pins makes the strap an easy install & I love the way it looks against the watch. I'm glad they're made in odd ball sizes too (19mm in my case). Its also top grain leather & not genuine leather which means it will last longer than other cheap leather straps.

I purchased this strap to replace the metal bracelet on my old watch from the 90's. The color nicely offsets the dial, and the strap seems to be of decent quality. It's definitely much nicer than the "Dakota" type straps you see in the mall, but nothing like the more bespoke stuff you can special order from places like Hodinkee. (But, of course, those straps can easily cost more than $150!) The Spring bars appear to be sturdy, and the clasp is fairly easy to operate.While I am very satisfied with the purchase, I do have 2 complaints, and they are admittedly minor. First, the picture used for this strap looks to be much richer in appearance than the strap I received. Since I was pairing this with a vintage '90's watch, I was looking for something that wouldn't look quite as 'new', and bring out the variations in the leather underneath. That said, I'm sure in 6 months of daily wear, this will look the part.My only other quibble is that, while the quick release spring bars do make it much easier to attach the strap, they had to cut channels in the leather along the back of the spring bar to accommodate them. This is a known stress point, and I fear these channels may begin to tear and shorten the life of the strap. I will have to remind myself to periodically check the back to see if those areas are showing wear.In summary, a good looking, reasonably priced strap for anyone looking to accessorize their watch. Unfortunately, I will have to knock off a single star for durability due to the aforementioned slits cut in the leather to accommodate the quick release mechanism in the spring bar. Even if it doesn't tear, I will worry that it will after months of daily use.

Was very happy to discover Barton watch bands. Excellent quick pin attach, a ton of designs to choose from and well built.

This quick change watch band is wonderful invention. I have two, one for outdoor exercise and one for everyday. I can change them out in seconds. Definitely worth it.

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.

The photo shows a thick two tone band, with a lighter unfinished underside that seems plush. What I received was still a decent leather band, but more basic. All the same color and not quite as thick / plush. Still looks good, color is as described. Overall a solid product. I just wish it were more accurate. These do seem to run a little short in length also.

Works well, the quick release is very helpful (I thought it might come loose unintentionally but it hasn't done that and I've used it for months). Nice band, made my watch feel like new.
