Review on 🕶️ Barton Jetson Style Watch Strap: Retro meets Modern for Timeless Elegance by Drew Cage

I bought this for my G Shock 5600 and I use Jay's and Kay's hard aluminum NATO adapters. The standard Casio strap doesn't even come close on my 8.5-inch wrist, so it looked like a deal with NATO was the solution. The first purchase I made was a 22mm premium Craig Bond NATO watch from Crown and Buckle and it's a nice strap, apart from the height of the metal lugs. I'm NOT one of those 6.5" strap pros who like mega sized watches and the triple stack of watch straps because they're 3" longer, so I wanted to try at least one suggestion with "RAF" or the original fabric strap loop holder. After thoroughly researching different companies, what they had to offer and what people had to say about them, I decided to pull the trigger on the Jetson Barton Classic Bond 22mm Black Metal Bracelet. The fact that they are across town from me is purely coincidental, but I also took it as a bonus to get a good locally sourced product. Upon opening, I checked for any struggles or quality control issues that others have mentioned. NONE were found and I immediately liked the look, design and quality. It's a bit heavier for me, but such a luxurious strap with a nice sheen. Then you have to see how it fits the little 5600, fits well, and a metal strap buckle is the right size in my opinion for two straps to go through without the loop being too high. I put it next to the crown and NATO buckle to see how they compare visually. The Barton buckle is significantly stronger and the strap is slightly shorter, so the extra strap fits right into the cloth holder at practically the perfect length. As for the height of the cloth holder, it's unrealistic for the same cloth to be wrapped tight enough to be as low as some would like, but as I like the slim profile of ALL, the strap of the holder is adequate in my opinion. ONE issue I have is that I wish the headspace was smaller and moved more towards the center of the strap, but I also have a watch with a mega plunge head, I know that's for a watch like this type, otherwise these watch heads just don't fit in there. They didn't sell this, however, as Huge Wristed wears a small G Shock watch strap. I agree because this band is cool and I will be buying more bartons. I may have to buy a duplicate of this strap because it's so good, it's like a good watch strap to me. I hope this has helped you and have fun.
