Review on ⌚ Barton Elite Women's Silicone Watch Bands for Ladies' Watches by Nate Forleo

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Owned 15 days, worn 5 days,

I have a pair of Canvas Bartons that I really like, so I decided to try the silicone strap. It's very comfortable, more than I expected, but has about zero durability. For one thing, the strap began to tear through the quick-release eyelet on the spring bar. When I tried to remove the tape I found that the spring bar was stuck and wouldn't come loose. I tried using a spring bar tool like you would with a regular spring bar and pushing the strap out of the way caused the strap to break further. Now it's destroyed. To make matters worse, I couldn't even get the spring bar out with the tool and ended up cutting the spring bar with scissors to get it off the watch. So very high marks for comfort, fit and style and zero. durability mark. Don't buy these tapes. UPDATE: Barton came up with an offer to replace the strap but they tried to ship it to a Revain locker mailing address which resulted in it being sent to a restaurant/bar instead of a locker (USPS can't deliver to Revain lockers). Now I have minus the replacement. Since then they have stopped responding to my emails. Not too impressive. Anyway lesson learned.

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Long delivery time
