BARTON Sailcloth Quick Release Premium Nylon Weave

I received the 18mm, and it's a nice watch band. The bands measures 115mm x 75mm, not counting the clasp, a great size if you have a small to medium sized wrist. The materials are good, and yes it is a little stiff, but it has a leather backing, so it will take time to soften up. However, the comfort and durability of that leather are worth the trade off with the short term stiffness. It is 18mm at the lugs and tapers to 16mm at the clasp. At first I really wasn't sure how I felt about the straps, I had the straps before I received the watch that I was intending to install this on, but after receiving the watch and installing this strap then wearing it I'm very impressed they look very sharp and only after 2 days of wear I can feel it loosening up for better comfort. I know from previous straps the Cordura material on the front of the strap is an excellent watch band material I have no doubt this will last a very long time. It can be difficult to find the right strap in the 18mm size but I highly recommend this strap.

This band is thick and it takes a little while to break in but it’s still fairly stiff. The outer material doesn’t collect dirt. It stays looking new. The leather on the inside nice and smooth and wears the way thin leather would. After a while the sailcloth started to tear around the hole for the buckle. The leather started to stretch too but that’s expected. I cut and singed the material to it up. (Pictured) Overall, I would like it more if the band would break in more to be more flexible and the sailcloth didn’t tear. But still a good band.

I am a skinny guy with thin wrists. Generally I am tightening my bands to the tightest two notches for a no-movement fit. I am tightening this band to the middle. That said, the band fits comfortably all day without any hot spots or imprints forming. The only downside is the band is already showing a bit of wear from daily use after a couple months. It appears the clasp is wearing the fibers on the top of the band. See attached photo. This isn't uncommon for my watch bands, as I usually wear a band out within a year, but something to bear in mind when fastening the band. All in all, it's a great band with a very small break-in period on the front end. I would buy this style again.

The band looks really great and is very easy to use and install thanks to the quick release spring bars. However, as some other reviewers mentioned, the band is very stiff upon delivery. I was hoping for it to break in over time, but I’ve been wearing it for over a week now and it’s still extremely stiff and not at all conforming to my wrist. As a result, it’s quite uncomfortable to wear. I don’t know if I have the patience to wait another week or so for it to get more comfortable. Also, the ends have started fraying despite it not having any contact with my clothes or anything else. Quite disappointing as my previous 2 Barton watch straps (elite silicone and leather) are great.

Love this watch band. The moment you take it out of the box, you can feel how robust the quality is. The subtle shine of the sailcloth gives it that extra bit of polish. I have a 20mm Timex men's chronograph that I simply can't leave the house without. Timex's watch bands are good-looking but certainly don't last long. I've had this watch Barton's band for roughly a month now and I don't see a single mark on it. The watch band's single latch on the side makes it ridiculously easy to switch out. (No more needing tweezers or pliers!) Fair warning: it was tricky to break in. The sailcloth does NOT want to bend for the first week or so. For the first few days, I would fold the bands in half and place a heavy book on top overnight to get a crease to form. Now, it fits beautifully. I'm a woman with small wrists (5.5") and this watch band still fits perfectly with room to spare. The color is a true medium gray with a very subtle green tint. It's durable enough that I'd feel comfortable taking it on hikes and classy enough that I can take it to the office. Would highly recommend!

The band is horribly stiff. I had to do a lot of bending and twisting to even be able to get it on my wrist, and I noticed that the woven fabric had started fraying at the holes that first time putting it on. The suede-like bottom of the band is also getting damaged along the edges already. I received the band late on September 1 and took this video on the morning of September 4. The band is still incredibly stiff and does not want to sit correctly on my wrist. Every single hole is fraying at this point even though I've only removed the watch three times, twice in an attempt to bend the bands more and break it in. This is such a disappointment, because without these issues this could be a very nice looking watch band, suitable for everyday wear and the office. I understand that a new band might be stiff to start off but this seems extreme compared to previous experience. I really wish I had paid more attention to some of the competition because now I see that there are some very similar woven bands that have stitching around the holes to prevent fraying. I will be returning this as soon as a replacement arrives. I'm only continuing to wear it in the meantime because the silicone band that came with my watch irritates my skin and that's less tolerable than the irritation of what this one looks like at the moment. It's not that this band hasn't broken in to some degree, so I feel like I may have been happier with a leather or other non-woven option. But after this experience and seeing how similar some competitors are, I will not be giving alternate bands from this brand a try.

Awesome right out of the bag! Feels great, leather is easy on the wrist. A bit stiff but we’ll see how it breaks in. Great for the price and the gold buckle matches!

This is my second Barton watch strap, the first was half the price as this one, the quality wasn't great, but it was for a cheaper watch. This recent strap I received feels cheaply made, it is stiff at first, and after trying to break it in it is already starting to Crack along the holes. I also had to flip the small band that holds the strap in place on your wrist because it rubs my wrist and feels itchy, the stitching sticks out and looks like it is already starting to come apart. While it's convenient to get one or two day shipping, I have found much better watch strap companies for the same price if you don't mind waiting a few extra days for it to arrive.

I purchased the Barton quick release watch band in the khaki colour. The sailcloth style and distinctive weave is so attractive. I am using the 22mm size with my Tissot Supersport Chrono Quartz that has a dark blue dial and black bezel. Such a nice match and so easy to change and install the bands with the quick release! Thank you and highly recommended!

コスパよいとおもいます。 少し硬いので、腕にしっくりくるまで時間がかかると思います。 クロコダイルも買いましたが、こちらの方が柔らかいので、つけやすいです。

What i can say is that this band was very comfortable and i found myself enjoying it more than the current watch band that came with the watch itself. The comfort, the ease of putting it together and also without any tools needed this is something that can be applied easily for anyone that does not have any watch knowledge at all. Great colour and easy to clean too.

La toile à voile donne une sensation de qualité et de modernité au bracelet. La teinte est bien réussie et est très proche de celle de la photo vue sur le site. Se fixe facilement sur la montre (bonne finition) . Manque de souplesse et difficile à attacher. Sans doute ceci va t'il se corriger dans le temps?

A nice strap but not very hard wearing.
