Ok, well I love the purple one! Personally, I prefer leather straps because otherwise, I have to pay to have links taken out of a metal one. Plus, I find metal straps seem to pinch the little hairs on my arm.
While I love purple, #1 is overload for me, if it were in black I would LOVE the watch. i don't care too much for the 2nd one, its looks a little too boyish.
Yeah I like the first one except for the strap too. So I think I like IK's pick.
(and it's not the color ... I looked at a couple online that seemd to be the same model but different face & strap colors and it was all meh. Even w/ black leather).
