Dumb question from someone who just put on an Ultra for the first time (pic if I can ever unbrick it out of Apple’s still broken onboarding)…does the Ultra stretch braided solo loops more than a Series watch?

No, why would it? But of course your old Braideds will be more loose on the Ultra because the watch body itself is bigger.

Thanks. Just had to make my alpine one tighter…which I think is not evidence for stretching. Hence why I said dumb question.

I was fried from doing a million pairing attempts.

I think restoring from backup was the issue. Or maybe other watches being around and powered on? Still loves to wipe a watch for no reason.

Loving this update. Being able to see how rare all the bands in my collection are is awesome.

The rarest one I own is in 0.78% of collections!

And which one would be that be?

Let me guess - some Olympic Woven Nylon?

You prompted me to check, and I only own two 2016s.

South Africa is 1.95%.
Germany is 2.11%!

My rarest are my Edition bands, with Midnight Classic Buckle (Gen 1) being 0.65%. the rose gold pinned White Sport band is more common at 0.97%, but my rarest is the gold link bracelet, which is now at 0.32%.

Ah, the Gold Edition, of course … didn‘t even think of those.

Strange that the Link is included at all, though, as it wasn‘t even officially released. But yours isn‘t solid 18K either, is it? Because didn‘t they only make like 3 of those for Beyoncè, Lagerfeld and (?)?

Edit: just checked, my rarest one (by far) is the Japan Olympic Nylon at 0,97%, so at least my Nylon is more rare than your Nylon. 😊

Bandbreite counts officially sanctioned bands. To the best of our knowledge, the gold links are an officially sanctioned band. No, mine's not 18k, but I count it because it's a link bracelet that's gold colored right out of the Apple factory. It's sort of the same logic as counting the demo bands as the real thing, which for collection purposes, I feel is fair.

Also, we don't know for sure that the link bracelets are 18k all the way through. I'd actually bet they're not. I am of the opinion they are actually gold plated or gold filled. Re-tooling the entire production line to make 3 18k links makes no sense, while taking pre-assembled parts, dipping them in gold, and assembling them after is a far more likely story.

Oh there's definitely as lot of obscure hermes bands out there in very few collections. I have only 2, Bambou and Noir, which are at 4.06% and 1.14% respectively. I feel like 0.00% is a bug, though, because there can't already be so many people in the data pool that one person doesn't register at least 0.01%.
