Barton Silicone Straps

12/16/201901/04/2021

Every watch collector should have a couple Barton silicone straps in their box. Barton Watch Bands produces a variety of strap types and styles, but what they seem to be best known for are silicone bands. This is a detailed overview that also compares the Soft Silicone straps with the Elite Silicone straps.

Pictures and Thoughts

Barton silicone straps have become one of my favorite goto strap options for regular wear watches, especially dive watches.

  • Quick release springbars
  • Soft yet durable
  • Price point ($20 or less)
  • Elite comes with both standard and long straps
  • Elite has the keeper tab to prevent sliding around
  • Unbranded buckles
  • Variety of color options, particularly Elite two-tone options
  • Stickers!


Final Thought

Get some! Now! They are one of the best straps you are going to find for the price and changing a strap is a nice alternative to buying another watch. Alternatively, you might consider Carty silicone straps, which I also highly recommend.
