I must admit buying cases for iPhone is a lot easier than buying/hunting bands for Watch.
Since owning the watch just over a week already bought 4 bands/loops and i must admit there is no sign of me stopping now unless my better half kicks me out of the house.

Delft, Capri, Surf

please excuse the cutting board
Thank you very much for sharing this pic! The cutting board is actually kind of nice, gives a fun contrast in texture and tone.

I've been wondering why people wouldn't post proper comparisons, despite a few of us repeatedly asking recently. I chalked this up to the honeymoon period being over. I suspect that this assumption is accurate since (as seen here) Capri looks very similar to Surf under indoor lighting. I'm all for a nice range of blues (and any other colour), but the increased saturation of Capri seems to only be particularly evident under direct sunlight. I'd say Capri is a must for anyone who missed Surf -- but I didn't miss it, so I think I'll be passing (at least on MSRP), especially in light of this year's pricey double-pride order.
 
When I saw the capri demo at best buy I just happened to be wearing my surf band. I thought there was a noticeable difference in shade (under the best buy super white indoor probably not fluorescent lights). The surf is a lighter blue, and I actually preferred the shade to capri. But capri is definitely bright, in a way that doesn't come through in the pictures. If they were both for sale right now and I had to choose one, I'd choose surf, but that's just me.

It is indoor, but standing by a window. When I wasn’t by a window the colors didn’t look as true to life as they really are!
 
When do the summer bands typically get released? Is it after WWDC or in July?
The summer 2020 bands came out on June 8 2020, and the 2020 WWDC started on June 22. So I’m hoping the summer 2021 bands come out within the next 2-3 weeks, either before or concurrent with the WWDC.

Capri definitely has that extra punch of boldness to it. And also damn if I had iPHone 12, I’d be swooning all over the Capri Blue Silicone case, especially hearing the ones for the 12 series are of a higher quality apparently. But maybe, I plan to upgrade to this years iPhone Pro, and if the rumours of the design and size specifications remaining the same hold true, the Capri case should be compatible (just also keep Pacific Blue colour option for the phone too please)
