Just got my link straps I ordered at launch. I ordered poppy and blue for my S6 blue watch.

Not keeping both - but can't decide which to keep. The poppy looks nice- but I wonder if the patina will look nice over time or crappy and dirty.

The magnets seem firm - I have enough overlap of each strap that I seriously doubt they will come apart.

Here's a couple of shots but the yellow looks a touch brighter in my shots. I like how the blue strap has the edges of the strap painted in the blue - but the yellow is a natural tan.

What do you think?

I've just bought the blue watch, and the blue link is on my shopping list. They both look great and if they weren't £100 each I'd want them both, but the blue shades it for me as it will look more formal.

Returning the Poppy - group verdict from friends and family is that it's very bright and will get dirty quick.

Curious, does the poppy look like more of an orange tan in real life? Looks like a bright mustard yellow in the pic.

It’s more mustard and quite bright. I mean it’s not offensive but I just didn’t particularly think it went well with the blue watch either.
