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

Very nice looking strap, exactly how it was advertised. Fits very snug onto the watch casing. Softer leather (I have other straps from elsewhere and they are much stiffer and still not softened), so is very comfortable on the wrist. The overall quality seems very high with some excellent stitching (doesn't look like it will come apart any time soon!). And although these are some of the more expensive straps I have seen, but also I guess you get what you pay for as this is higher quality than some I already own. Altogether very happy so far!

It takes a while for me to replace a worn watch strap. What can replace something that has been useful and stylish. Fortunately your strap, chosen after some deliberation, does just that and more. The strap, itself, is well made and very comfortable. The red stitching on black leather is eye catching. I thought the blue box was a particularly good idea. Functional and interesting. Thank you Barton. Only one problem for me is the idea that a few minutes work will give my watch a completely new look may make me into a strap addict.

***Update at the bottom***I was looking for a replacement strap for my Citizen EcoDrive. Upon searching Amazon I discovered Barton offer a similar black strap with red stitching in the appropriate 23mm.The strap is presented within its own sleeved packaging. Which is great for storage and makes it feel a little more premium. The strap itself isn't the thickest leather but is soft enough. Barton uses a quick release spring bar, allowing straps to be swapped quickly. Unfortunately I had to replace these as my own watch uses curved ones. However I have some areas of concern. The leather around the buckle and the spring bars is quite thin and could deteriorate causing the strap to fail. I would like to see some stitching at the spring bar end and a bit more leather. The stitching itself also goes around the outside of the strap to the underside at the spring bar end. This could easily be snagged, and from other reviews, has been. The loops also appear to be made of a much cheaper material than the rest of the strap.Overall it's a decent strap that is nicely presented . Unfortunately at £24 it's a little too expensive for the relative quality. I feel it should be price around £20 and I can't help but feel that Barton are using the packaging to justify the additional premium.***Update***So after nearly a year of use I am happy to report that the strap has held up really well. The leather has worn in nicely and the stitching is still intact. Over the months it has become more comfortable. I've given it an extra star. However it's worth noting that the price has risen further. Which is disappointing.

This is an excellent quality leather watch strap. Well made. Nicely finished. Quick release makes it easy to fit. Considering the watch maker wants £90 for a strap that looks almost identical this is definitely value for money.

Great packaging and quality product, love the feel and colour I chose fits my watch well, the easy clip on and off your watch is easy to do.

One of the headlines for this product is "quick release". Well, the pins were too short for my Citizen watch despite being the correct 22mm size. It took me quite a wile to prize the "quick release" pins out of the new strap so I could use the old pins that came wit the watch. So with "quick release" becoming "time consuming struggle" all that is left is the quality of the strap to consider:It seems well made. Comfortable on the wrist and looks good. Fairly high price to pay for a strap, time will tell if it is worth it.

Needed a new strap to replace the rubber ones on standard smart watches as they tend to bring me out in a bit of an itchy rash. This on the other hand is decent quality leather and was really easy to fit - quick release is much better than fiddly tools. No complaints and I've been wearing it for several months now. The quick release also means I can switch over to the rubber one for swimming and then change back again after!

I've had the white leather strap for 5 weeks and the colour has worn and cracked off of it already! Not very good quality for nearly £30. Won't be buying again. Will be returning it if they accept.
