@choreographics band of the year soon or just giving it to Black Unity SpLoo, the one true band
…and yes, these are after adjustments. 🤣 My skin really IS that pale/pink, and the light in that part of my apartment really IS that yellow… (I’m still looking for a decent indoor spot for band pics. My bare wrists don’t see a lot of sunlight this time of year.)

So you now also coordinate the band shot with the music playing? *Tip of the hat*
P.S. Is Clay very close to Coastal Gray?
We are waiting for one of the developers to improve the voting process before launching it next week.
And, please apologise, Black Unity Sport Loops is not the right choice here. 🧐. Outstanding? For sure. At the top? Not the very top.
I get that you want to do this „event“, but honestly you could just give „Band of the Year“ to the band that most users added to their collection (i.e. bought), no? It‘s called „voting with your wallet“.
Hey, great comment!
First, it's important to know what gets tracked and what doesn't. Up until just recently, none of the collection data has been recorded. With Bandbreite's newest update, very little of it is tracked, and it's not very easy to just tell who added what bands and when. On top of this, not everyone's data is opted in.
Second, you have to remember that not everyone has disposable income. There are many of us collectors who resort to eBay hunting for bands, and as such, don't always get the bands they think are the 'best.' The answers to "Which band did most people add to their collection?" and "Which band is voted best this year?" are seldomly the same for this reason and many others.
Just as you could have instead decided not to leave this comment, it's true that Bandbeite can decide not to do this event which helps to promote the app and its user-base. However, skipping out on the event does us no good, as it leaves out the fun and doesn't give us the correct answer we're asking for.
Here's to 2023's BOTY event and many others to come. Cheers!
Fully endorsed. I’ve worn this combo a few times lately myself.
I’m sure some will take issue, but in my humble opinion, the Braided Solo Loop pairs perfectly with the Ultra. Maybe it’s the texture of the BSL? Or the solid colours (for most)? Less so right now in a hot summer in Australia, but I wear them a lot with mine, and I’m always happy with the look.
Can you elaborate? What do you mean by „very little is tracked“? The band collections are tracked and that would suffice, wouldn‘t it? And sure, I guess some folks opted out, but I‘m willing to bet that the number of Bandbreite users not participating in the BOTY vote is (way) higher than those opt-out numbers.
Easy fix: count items on the wish lists as well.
Why? It‘s a reasonable question.
Bandbreite certainly will do this regardless, so you really don‘t have to get so agitated. It‘s just Watch bands, dude.
I don‘t think so, actually, which is why I wrote that post. I think both answers are „correct“, depending on how you define „band of the year“. Both methods have their pros and cons. The best point to be made for the Vote is that it gives users the chance to discriminate between their 2023 bands, i.e. rank them, as they certainly don‘t love all of their acquired (or wished for) bands in the same way. OTOH, the Vote inherently favors more unique/polarizing bands as opposed to more essential/regular bands that may have landed in more collections because of their versatility. And the statistical base would also be broader, I believe.
So which is the true „boty“, the crazy new design or snazzy new colour or the best-seller that lands on most wrists IRL? My answer is „both“, so I will of course vote, but I would also like to know which band actually sold best according to Bandbreite stats (as we will sadly never get the real numbers from Apple).
