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

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.

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.

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.

Fantastic band, great material and very comfortable, doesn’t need to be “broken in” like other cheap leather bands.

Worth buying. Great quality.

As advertised. Looks good and looks like it will last.

Very cheap band and I'm not convinced it's leather. I have a lot of leather products- saddles, bridles, purses, belts, boots, shoes....and watch bands, and sorry to say this band doesn't look, feel or smell like leather. It's just another piece of Made in China garbage.Hadn't even had it attached to the watch 5 minutes and the "paint" was rubbing off where the band rubs up against the watch (see 2nd pic).The box it was packaged in is worth more than the band, IMO. But crap is still crap no matter how it's packaged. Definitely not worth $29. I do not feel safe having this attached to a $350+ watch.Furthermore, the color I ordered was called "carmel tan leather," but what I got (according to the box) was called "weathered brown." Completely different looking than what I ordered. This band is a shiny light-medium brown and not weathered at all. (See 9th pic attached for a picture of the color I was supposed to get.)In order to loosen it up a bit I rolled it between my fingers (as if you were holding a slinky and moving your palms up and down), so the creasing you see is from that. Otherwise, it is not "weathered."To make matters worse, the buckle is not stamped "stainless steel." Most products I have that are stainless are stamped as such, like the OEM watch band that came with the watch (see 8th pic).In short-- probably not real leather- doesn't look, feel, act or smell like leather- buckle not stainless steel- color received completely different than what I ordered- in less than 5 minutes the color/paint rubbed off where band rubbed up against watch

I got this band to replace one that I had for about 2 years before it finally broke. I considered replacing it with the same one but this one looked similar and nice and I figured I'd try it out. Unfortunately the color is lighter than I had expected. I got the gingerbread color but it is really more of a light tan. I knew it would be lighter than the one I had but I'm worried it won't go very well with brown shoes. The band is very flat and pretty thin but feels comfortable enough. You can see in the picture that it really is a lot lighter even than the color circle on the outside of the box. Otherwise its easy to install with the quick release and it fits my galaxy watch properly. The other one I had, had a tapered thickness to it which added a nice quality and made it feel higher quality but it also ended up falling apart on me after a couple years.
