Luxury Feel, Fraction of the Price: A Must-Buy FKM Strap!"
I was initially skeptical that a strap at this price point could genuinely compete with premium brands costing £200+, but I was wrong. The North Straps FKM rubber strap is phenomenal and easily rivals straps from high-end competitors like Artem.
The quality of the FKM rubber is immediately apparent. It is incredibly supple, comfortable against the skin, and attracts zero dust or lint—a common issue with cheaper rubber alternatives. The tactile feel ("squeegee") is identical to straps I've tested that cost five times more.
The included 316L stainless steel foldover clasp adds significant value and provides that reassuring, luxury weight and balance on the wrist. It’s perfect.
I have mine paired with a rare JDM Seiko 5 Snoopy limited edition (Number 4 of 580), and the red FKM strap elevates the watch perfectly, matching the subtle red second hand. It gives the watch a cohesive, premium look.
Conclusion:
If you are looking for an FKM strap with OEM quality hardware and materials without the luxury "brand tax," look no further. North Straps delivers exactly that. I would highly recommend this FKM strap to any watch enthusiast.

I came across this company recently and decided to treat myself to 2 new straps. These are absolutely fantastic! I compared them to my Artem sailcloth straps and they are near identical in quality and fit but for a fraction of the price! Extremely well made and would recommend this company to anyone looking for new sailcloth straps.

Excellent strap from an excellent company! This strap is right up there in terms of quality and fit - it's really well made and looks fantastic on the watch. It's comfortable too and requires no breaking in! Highly recommended.
