StrapsCo released at the end of last year a $50 Sailcloth strap that they allegedly claim is manufactured in the same factory as Artem's. Many online reviews comparing it to the $150+ Artem staps seem to confirm that the quality is identical at 1/3rd of the price. I encourage you to look into this alternative to not overpay.

Great call out- thanks
They load up “influencers” with free samples. They are solid, but there are better and less expensive alternatives. Calling @Ichibunz
I got you covered

Ok Honest opinion … lately been disappointed with Artems … my current order ..
See the problem ?!! If not … I ordered quick set spring bars and they only loaded one end?!! 🤦♂ for the premium you pay and the wait time of delivery, it’s a bit disappointing … after complaining on instagram … they acknowledge their mistake and offered to ship me a new one.. we shall see if they follow through… my first experience with them was decent and takes time to break in the sail cloth … I’m sad to say this will be my last order from Artems… I had previous order from them that I had to return due to the straps was but stiff… 😁🥴☹….
I'm a fan of Artem straps in general, even though they are at the high end of cost for the material used. I won't however go the whole hog & pay what they are asking for their loopless offering. I just feel that it's excessive & don't see the added value to justify the added cost.
I do love the latest colour available though, it's a beautiful match to my Grand Seiko;

brutal! Thanks for input. Sorry this happened.
Must you ask? I wouldn't buy it again. I fell for the hype when I saw everyone on the tube raving about them. Their size offerings in the basic strap is odd. The standard length didn't have enough holes for my small (6.25"/16 cm) wrist. The short strap left one hole and about 20mm at its end to fast it in the keeper loop. I, also, bought their RM claps hoping that it would help, but that was not to happen, so I returned the strap.
The standard strap padded portion was very stiff and does not conform to the wrist
Well, so far it is my wrist's fault. I then decided that I'd shelled out larger a sum of money to buy the hydroflex strap. This strap was softer and has better sizing. After about six months, the vibrant blue seems faded and somewhat brownish, like when you get some slight dirt on the blue jeans. Into the strap coffin it goes where other unworn straps rest. VERY disappointed.
