“I decided to swap out my original bracelet on my Tag Heuer Carrera chronograph calibre 16 with leather to lighten it up and give it a new look. I opted for a racing strap to keep with the theme of my watch as well as allow my skin to breathe in the summer heat. I wanted the dimensionality of the padded strap and since everyone says Horween leather is the right stuff I found my perfect strap with Barton Watch Bands.
I am really, really digging on this strap! Comfortable and classic looking plus it just subdues the look to be less "in your face". While it fits my 6.5"/16.5cm wrist I'm on the second hole, so if your wrist is any smaller it may not fit. It would be nice to have shorter straps made available, I mean, they have them for longer lengths so...?”
“So far so good, the band is comfortable and appears to be holding up well. I am concerned about the long term durability based on how the shape and appearance has changed around the clasp already, but we will see long term. Also it does fit my Garmin Vivoactive 4. I used calipers to measure the distance between the quick disconnect clasps before ordering and they were, as expected, precisely machined to fit 22mm bands.”
