This watch band goes on easily, is very strong, sturdy, and looks great. Got several compliments on it. I've had this for over 6 months and it has held up well. Also made it easier to take my watch on and off.

Bought this to replace the hideous band that came with my Casio solar powered watch. This is the band it should have come with. A bit stiff at first but is beginning to form to my wrist. Easy to install because the pins are designed so they can be accessed from the back of the band. I shouldn’t have had to pay $20 to make my $95 watch look good, but it was worth it.UPDATE: After a few months, there are signs of fraying and one of the strap holders came apart. I still like the band, just wish the quality was a bit better.

Bought this watch band after the original silicone watch band that came with my watch started giving my wrist a rash. Watch band was missing one of the loops but the company replaced it for me. The straps are pretty stiff when I first got them but I tossed them in the wash and they softened up a bit. Over time the band becomes softer and more comfortable without loosing its shape or ability to stay fastened. Sadly, I threw the two halves in a dedicates bag which I forgot to zip all the way at the laundromat. One half slipped out and was lost. Unfortunately it does not look like Barton carries the army green with orange watch bands anymore so it looks like Ill have to choose another color because I am definitely buying a replacement band from them again.

My Hamilton Field Watch came with a very nice leather band. It lasted about a year since I seldom take off this watch.It did wear out and because I spend time around water I thought a leather replacement might be the wrong move.I bought the nylon strap in a grosgrain ribbon style, Olive with thin Tan and Red stripes. Looks great. Washable. A little stiff at first but broke in well.These Barton straps have the watch pins built into the strap ends. They place a tiny knob that allows you to EASILY compress the pin and insert it into the watch. This, next to sliced bread, is one of mankind’s great achievements.Also, the Barton pin springs are very strong. Not once have the come loose from the watch.Just great.

My Hamilton Khaki Field came with a NATO style strap, and while there wasn't anything really wrong with it I've never been a big fan. I wanted something more traditional that would complete that vintage look of the watch. This Barton strap checked all the boxes. It loos great, feels very well made, is comfortable, and the quick release pins actually fit. The reason that I say that the pins actually fit is because I've had a problem with other Barton pins being a little too short to be usable. It wasn't a case of ordering the wrong size strap either. The watch would call for a 24 mm strap, I would order a 24 mm strap, and the pins would be just short enough that the action of putting on the watch would pull the pin out. I also say that it's comfortable. The strap is a little on the stiff side, but not enough to make it uncomfortable.

UPDATE: I'm changing my review from 2 to 4 stars thanks to the great customer service from Josh at Barton. I deducted a star because the original band should have lasted longer, & a few of the replacement options I wanted were out of stock but available here on Amazon.I contacted Barton, & it's great to see that they will honor their guarantee even for bands purchased on Amazon. While they didn't have the same Bond strap in stock, they allowed me to choose a canvas strap that looks nice & will break in faster than the nylon did. I'm pleased with the quality of this band & Barton's customer service.ORIGINAL REVIEW: After breaking in the nylon, the band worked wonderfully for my Fossil Gen 6. It was stylish, & sturdy. Unless I was at a formal/special occasion requiring a different watch altogether, this band was perfect & I never even changed it out like I did with my previous watch.But I got up in the middle of the night tonight & the watch fell off my wrist onto the floor. Upon further inspection, there is plastic casing between the nylon that holds the spring bar. This broke on one end of the band, & so did the bar inside that connects to the watch. The part with the spring latch was still in the band, but rest of the bar was missing, along with a section of the casing. If it was just the bar that broke, I would've been okay; I have extra bars. But since the casing broke too, I have to replace the entire band or wear a different watch.This is really disappointing, because the band didn't last a year; I bought it July 2022 & it's early June 2023. And I wasn't doing anything strenuous: I'm in the gym weekly, but it broke while I was sleeping. I've had cheaper, thinner true NATO bands that heavily rely on threading through the bar, yet they lasted longer than a year. I spent more money on a quality Barton band & expected it to last, but unfortunately it didn't.

I didn't think I had a fat wrist. I just measured it, and it's 7.5 inches in circumference around the area where my watch sits. Like others said, the band is stiff, which is fine. I have no problem with that. But the first time I put the watch on, I could only get it around the very last hole. The problem I do have is that there is no slack left over to tuck into the holders. So I have about an inch that's sticks straight out. THIS I have a problem with. It's too annoying to wear. But to give them the benefit of the doubt, I'm going to wear it a week. I've managed to pull it tighter one more hole, which now barely slips into those excess loops. I'm going to see it if not only loosens up, but stretches out a bit. If not, it's going back.So if you have a wrist larger than 7.5 inches, consider a different band. Smaller than 7.5, you may be fine.Besides the fit, the quality is good. But leaving this as a 3-star rating for now, since I did not see anything about size right up front. I did however see that they run stiff. That doesn't seem like a big deal. Not fitting does.
