One of the best things about having a Samsung Galaxy Watch (or similar smart watch) is having the ability to change the watch face to suit your style, mood, mission, or even to suit your suit. There are endless possibilities. But changing the watch face is only half of the story. It won’t help to update your watch to use an elegant watch face, if you are still using the plain silicone band that came with the watch from the factory.
I decided to look at Barton Watch Bands for my Samsung Galaxy Watch. Barton is located in Austin, Texas. I live in Austin and love supporting local businesses, especially ones that have such a singular and passionate focus on a product that helps wristwatches generate so much enthusiasm the world over. Barton’s bands are designed in-house and carry a 100% satisfaction guarantee for a year.
I bought two Barton Leather Quick Release Watch Bands, both in 22 mm to fit my Galaxy Watch, and both in black leather and stainless steel buckles, with the only difference being the detail stitching. One has white contrasting stitching and the other has orange. The bands appear to be very well made with even coloring and perfect stitching. The leather is slightly stiff out of the box, but breaks-in quickly and becomes more pliable and comfortable.
I matched the black leather band with white contrasting stitching to my favorite watch face – the IWC Pilot’s Watch Mark XVIII, which I think is a beautiful pairing.
I selected the black leather band with the orange contrasting stitching to go with one of my other favorites – the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Milgaus. I think this pairing is absolutely sublime.

The Barton Leather Quick Release Bands are beautiful, comfortable, and affordable. If rotated with other bands, they should provide years of service. The Barton bands come with my highest recommendation.
