Good quality watch band, and perfect for my use
Edit: I've worn this band almost daily for 8 months. It's become more comfortable as the fabric has become softer and more broken in, and the color has faded considerably. I live in an area that doesn't get much sunlight this time of year, so I think the fading will be even worse in sunlight. I bought the olive green color, and I think the fading has actually made it more attractive, like well-worn army fatigues. If a faded color isn't desirable to you, however, you may want to consider other options.I purchased this band for a new Garmin Vivoactive 3 watch. It was super easy to install, it looks great, and it's comfortable. I really like the canvas material. As a relatively small female, I was worried about it looking to big on my wrist, but the size is perfect and it suits the watch well. I've worn it almost 24 hours a day for two weeks now, including at my physically demanding job, and it still looks new. When I'm in the mood for a different color or maybe a leather band, I'll probably try another one made by this company.

Good watch band, will last about two years.
Good watch band for the price. Like others say, it is a little stiff at first, but eventually breaks in. After two and a half years, I had to replace the band as the loop broke and as you can see from the picture the color has faded significantly. The picture is of my daily watch I wear to work. Meaning about 40 hours a week of wear, all in an airconditioned office. I purchased the same band again (dark blue), and the worn one is about 2.5 years old.

Like wearing a new watch.
I prefer the canvas to the leather that my watch came with. It's much lighter and seems of good quality. I'm pleased with the purchase and the fast shipping.

Durable, easy to switch, looks great
I purchased a 2nd band after putting the first one through some abuse, and I'm here to sum it all up. Band installation is easy, no tools needed to install / remove (but look at the band you're replacing cause factory bands usually need tools). Canvas is great for getting wet / sweaty. Color held up great over the last year. Wore for at least 150 days (workouts, underwater, even a half dozen trips through the ocean) and the only reason I'm replacing is it didn't hold up to really high sulphur hot springs. It became discolored and turned brown. I thought it might but I wanted to see if it would surprise me again, but it still works. Love these canvas bands for my daily use.

Comfortable but doesn't stand up
Comfortable band, easy to install but it isn't standing up to use like I hoped. I have my hands in water a lot and figured this would be better than a leather band. Color is fading on the bottom of the band after only two months of use.

Hit or miss with the Garmin vivoactive 3
Purchased this canvas band for my Garmin vivoactive 3. It fit well and looked great, so I went ahead and ordered a Barton buckle in gunmetal grey to better match my Garmin watch styling vs. the bright stainless steel buckle.After a couple days, the stitching in the canvas band started to come loose. (Some other reviewers also had this issue.) I contacted Barton and they sent out a replacement canvas band, as well as a free silicone strap for my inconvenience. Excellent customer service.The replacement canvas band arrived and I installed it. The stitching looked better, so I was pleased. But when I woke up in the morning, the band had detached from one side of my device in the night. I assumed I had put it on incorrectly, and reattached it. A few hours later, the pin detached again and my watch fell onto the hard concrete. After the third time the band detached and fell off, I contacted Barton again.They asked me if I had a Garmin vivo device. Once I confirmed, they quickly sent (copy/paste) a lengthy and very detailed explanation saying they receive mixed comments from Garmin customers, did their own research with a Garmin vivomove HR device, and claimed Garmin was "dancing to the beat of its own drum" vs. using a standard 20mm lug width. They apologized and said they would issue me a refund.I can only attest to the three Barton bands I received. The first canvas band fit great, but the stitching fell apart at the seams. The replacement canvas band repeatedly came disconnected from my device and is unusable - stitching looked better. The complimentary silicone band fit great and stayed connected. I compared the two canvas bands and can definitely see with the naked eye that the pin that keeps coming loose is shorter than the one in the band that stays attached. I don't believe it's a Garmin issue, but rather a quality control issue with the Barton bands...at least with the three bands I had to compare.That being said, the company has awesome customer service. They replied to all my messages promptly, tried to resolve my issue, and refunded my money when they couldn't.Thought I'd write this review for other Garmin vivoactive 3 wearers who want to give this band a try. Yours may fit perfectly, or it may not. The seller seems willing to refund money when it does not. It's worth the risk in my opinion since the band looks great when it fits properly. Just be prepared to catch your watch in mid-air if it detaches.I'd give this band five stars if I received one that had good stitching AND two pins that fit properly. Onto searching for a different brand...
