Thanks for posting. I too have a Barton Elite Silicone in navy on a GW-M5610. Took me frick'in forever to mount the adapters. So much so I emailed for a replacement set. Got those to work but broke 2 spring bars getting them installed.
Anyway great customer service and I really like the Elite Silicone. Have a khaki on the way.

I know what you mean, and I forgot to mention this. When I received my first set, I also initially thought they were faulty. I think they're just purposely engineered to be a tight fit, though. The good thing is they feel nice and sturdy once you do get them mounted. I managed to install both sets of mine without breaking any spring bars.

 

Thanks for posting. I have been curious about the strap adapters.

 

And the straps don't end up being too long?

 

The elite silicone straps come with two lengths, so they should fit well on virtually any wrist size. The Cordura/silicone is long for me (I need to use the tightest setting), but my wrist is only ~6.3".

The adaptors look like the ones I got of aliex. Do they rattle? Mine were I'd say half a mm short and they rattled a bit. Wore them for a few hours then changed back to original strap. Great color combos there!

No, these ones don't rattle, but the flip slide is they can be challenging to mount (see posts #2 and #3 above).

I tried the Barton adapters which were ok. The Ritchie adapters are a little more rounded which I prefer. Looking forward to trying their Silicone strap.

 

Jays and Kay’s for DAYZZZZZ.

 

Thanks for this, glad to have some feedback on an alternative to Jay and Kay's. Their products are fine, but the couple of times I've had to reach out to their customer service I've been disappointed. I'll give these a go!

 

Did you buy on Amazon or direct website? Was it a combo or separate pieces?

 

I bought direct from Barton. Got adapters and Elite Silicone in a package. Pretty quick shipping also.

 

Thanks! I ended up buying from Amazon. It was cheaper around 5 dollars and would arrive faster.

 

Barton has 25% off for Cyber Monday. They had the same discount for Black Friday through today.

 

Thanks again. Ended up canceling my Amazon order and got it straight from Barton.

 

Received my Barton Elite Silicone khaki/black today. Easy to switch with the quick slider spring bars. Image shows the 2 different lengths included. On sale less than $20 delivered.

 

I was blown away by how uncomfortable the 5610u strap was (why wouldn't they just make it flat on the inside - they could still keep the texturing on the outside easily enough) and was kinda bummed, as I loved the watch. Glad I came up across this post with all the pictures and the reviews to show me a better way. Amazon wasn't selling these at this point in time, but I bought some directly from Barton and ordered a silicone strap to match. Looking forward to trying it out!

 

Jays and Kays from eBay are the best. Quick-release springbars, tight fit, and tapered nicely. Maybe only complaint is Aluminum type III hardcoat anodized instead of stainless-steel black PVD, but then they wouldn’t be so lightweight.

 

I gave up on my Barton's adapters. A real pain to put on and when they pooped off I never put them back on again.

 

I have Jays and Kays on my GW-3500 Gravitymaster. On a two piece strap. With a bund. Am I completely mad?

 

I have both the Barton and Jays and Kay adaptors.

The Jay and Kays fit a little tighter and are easier to install.

The Bartons are fine, once they are installed.

Currently wearing the Barton adaptor one on my many GA-2100's, with a Barton NATO. Feels great, I will probably never take off the adaptor.

 

I really like the Jays and Kays. 24mm nylon camo band on a GD-350. Might try a Barton's down the road

 

Call me old fashioned but on the Squares at least, i prefer the OEM Casio adapters.

 

Yeah worth mentioning that on a 5600-ish style G, you almost NEED to take off the shroud AND the backplate to get them on.
They are crazy difficult to attach otherwise.
Once they are on, I had to "Snap" my backplate back on because the Barton adapters overlap it a bit (which is why they're so hard to get on without removal).
They don't move AT ALL, once they're on though, which makes them feel pretty secure.
On a larger G like the 100's they go on a bit easier, a teeny bit of play but not really noticeable.
