Barton Alligator Grain - Quick Release Leather Watch Bands - Choose Colour & Width - 16mm, 18mm, 20mm, 22mm, or 24mm

Much better than any I've wasted money on by buying cheap

I like it, the red is nice and it is going with all other shades of red as well. Sits very well on dark watch, as you can see in the picture. I will have to see how durable it is.Update: After 2 months of constant wear, the strap is like new. So it seems it is durable enough.

I've always bought either faux leather straps, which don't last long and lose their colour very quickly or silicone straps which bring me out in a rash. So this time when I needed a new strap I decided to splash out and invest in a good quality real leather strap and chose this nice red alligator effect strap from Barton. I've been wearing it for two months now and it's been great, the initial stiffness when new soon wears off and it's very comfortable to wear. It's retained it's colour and still looks as good as new with no sign of wear like I used to get with the faux leather. Although it's not the most expensive by any means It cost more than I usually pay but I'm more than happy as it will retain it's good looks and I won't need to replace it as frequently as I used to do with the cheap ones - so I feel I've made a good investment with this strap and can recommend it to anyone considering purchasing it.

Good quality but expensiveHowever it did not fit the rounded shape of my watchItem returned..refund took over 7 days to be processed

Not the cheapest but its a very good fit and the quality looks ok, not sure if it will show early signs of cracking like on reviewer mentioned as I've only been wearing it for about a month.Alligator grain looks good and from a distance you would be hard pressed to notice its not real alligator, leather was a bit stiff but after a week or so it was fine.

Looks great and fantastic quality, the down side is I should have got the longer version. Get the longer version if you have big wrists, still recommended

The design and quality are good. Reasonably comfortable. I have fairly small wrists at 7.5" or 19cm, but I still would have preferred a longer strap. Anyone with normal sized and certainly large wrists will not be happy. The strap is around 4.75" / 12.5cm on the long side and 3.5" / 8.3cm on the buckle side.

Quality product looks great
