Add to Wishlist from a Photo
Spotted a grail in the wild? On your Wishlist, tap Add from Photo, snap or pick a picture, and we’ll identify the watch and pre-fill the brand, model, and reference for you. Just review, add a price or link if you like, and save.
Featured Posts
From time to time we’ll spotlight a standout post at the top of the feed, marked with a small ★ Featured tag. It’s our way of surfacing great watches and stories from the community.
Earn Your Weekend
Log every weekday (Mon–Fri) and you’ve earned the weekend — Saturday and Sunday won’t break your streak, and you don’t need to log them. Show up all week, then take the weekend off. Logging a weekend still counts as a bonus, and your streak calendar marks earned rest days with a small dot.
Occasion & Strap on Posts
When you tag a watch in a post, you can now add the occasion and which strap you’re wearing — tucked behind a small “Add occasion & strap” link so the composer stays light. We also tidied up the date picker on the Track screen: quick Today and Yesterday chips, with a Pick date option for anything further back.
Achievements in Your Feed
The badges you earn now show up in your feed, so friends can see your milestones and react. Earn one while logging a wear or posting and it appears right on that post; earn one another way and it gets its own card. You’re in control — switch it off anytime under Profile → Notifications → “Share achievements to feed.”
New Badge: Daily Double
Wear two different watches in the same day to earn the new Daily Double badge — for the days when one just isn’t enough.
Wear Streaks
A streak counter now lives in the top bar — the number of days in a row you’ve logged a wear. Tap it to open a calendar of every day you logged, with your current and best streak. And streak freezes have your back: miss a single day and a freeze automatically covers it so one slip doesn’t reset you. You start with two and earn one back for every seven days you log.
Dramatically More Accurate Measurements
We rebuilt the microphone timegrapher from the ground up — new tick detection, a steadier beat-error reading, and a smarter sense of when a measurement has truly settled. Validated across hundreds of calibrations against a professional reference, readings now track much more closely to a pro machine and stay consistent run to run, so the same watch reads the same. For the most reliable result, measure in a quiet spot with your watch in a consistent position.
Advanced Measure Settings
Tap the ⚙ gear on the Measure screen to fine-tune how readings are taken. Pick an environment preset — Quiet Room, Noisy Environment, or Weak Signal — or adjust Sensitivity and Convergence Speed yourself to get a reliable reading from trickier watches.
Share Any of Your Posts
You can now share your own posts no matter who they’re for — not just public ones. Public posts open a rich preview link anyone can see. For Followers and Close Friends posts, the link opens privately in WRotate and only shows the post to people you actually shared it with, so nothing leaks to anyone else.

Delete Comments
Changed your mind? Tap the ⋮ menu on any comment to delete it. You can remove your own comments anywhere, and as the owner of a post you can remove any comment on it.
Multi-Image Posts
Posts now support up to 6 photos. Select multiple images at once or add more with the + button. Drag thumbnails to reorder — the first image is your hero shot. In the feed, tap any thumbnail to preview it, or tap the hero to open a fullscreen swipe viewer with dots and arrow navigation.
Achievement Badges
Earn badges as you use WRotate — post your first wrist shot, log 7 days in a row, measure your first watch, and more. Badges appear on your profile and are visible to everyone who visits it.
Timegrapher Accuracy Improvements
Better tick detection, improved BPH correction, and smarter phase recovery reduce false readings and help measurements converge faster — especially in noisy environments.

Enhance Your Collection
Tap Enhance on any watch to auto-fill specs, dimensions, caliber, history, and background — powered by AI. Or tap the ☆ button in your collection header to enhance all your watches at once. Review results per watch and save individually or all at once.
Smarter Photo Identification
Add from Photo is powered by a new model with substantially better image recognition. Watches are detected in seconds, then each one is identified individually with high accuracy — brand, model, reference, and specs.
Add All & Quick Add
After a photo identifies multiple watches, tap Add All to save them to your collection in one go. Each card also has a quick Add button for instant saves, or Edit to review details first.
Market Values
See what your watches are worth with AI-based valuations. Open a watch and tap Check Value, or use Update Prices (the $ button) to check your entire collection at once. Values are tracked over time so you can see how your collection’s worth changes.
Share to WRotate
Share a photo from your camera roll and AI identifies your watch. Use the share sheet from Photos or any app to send an image directly to WRotate.
Timegrapher — Improved Accuracy
The audio timegrapher has been tuned for more reliable measurements. Place your watch on the iPhone microphone and measure its accuracy in seconds per day — just like a professional timegrapher.

Reliability & Error Handling
Editing a post now rolls back changes if the server save fails, so your feed stays consistent. Club creation and user unblocking also handle errors gracefully with clear feedback.
Accessibility Improvements
Screen readers now get proper page headings and navigation landmarks across all tabs. Every page has a semantic heading structure for easier keyboard and assistive-technology navigation.
Post Pics Toggle
A new toggle on the Collection page lets you swap watch photos for your latest wrist shots. Each card shows the most recent post photo for that watch — toggle off to go back to the standard image.
Richer Email Notifications
Comment and mention email notifications now include the actual comment text in a styled quote block, so you can see what was said without opening the app.
Profile Posts Grid
Your profile now shows an Instagram-style 3×3 photo grid of your recent posts and wears, right below your collection. Tap any cell to jump to that post in the feed.
Report & Block
Tap the three-dot menu on any post to report it or block the user. You can also report a specific comment from the menu. Reported content is immediately removed from feeds while it’s reviewed.
Content Moderation
All posts and comments are checked against community guidelines. Flagged content is hidden from feeds and reviewed by an admin, who can confirm the removal or restore the content.
Terms of Use
New and existing users are asked to accept the Terms of Use, which cover community standards, content policies, and account rules. You can review them any time from the Help page.
Pull to Refresh
On the Feed, pull down to refresh your timeline — just like a native app. A spinner animates as you pull, and the latest posts load when you release.
Edit Post: Change Tagged Watch
When editing a post, you can now add, change, or remove the tagged watch. Forgot to tag a watch when you posted? Just edit the post and pick one from your collection.
Post a Photo, Auto-Log Your Wear
When you post a wrist shot from the Feed, AI recognizes which watch you’re wearing and matches it to your collection. The wear log is added automatically — just tap “Not this watch” if it gets it wrong.
Add Watches from Photo
Snap a photo of a single watch or a collection flat-lay and AI identifies each one. Brand, model, and reference are pre-filled so you can review and save in seconds.
Unified Photo Picker
Every photo action — posting, logging a wear, snap-to-track, adding a watch — now shows the same native menu: take a photo, choose from library, or pick a file.
Track Page: Recently Worn First
The watch selector on the Track page now sorts by most recently worn, so the watch on your wrist is always near the top.
Smarter Recommendations
Daily watch picks now factor in your ranking preferences, use-case habits, how new a purchase is, and watches that haven’t been getting enough wrist time. Tags like Dress or Dive also match to the right occasion.
iOS App & Push Notifications
WRotate is now available as an iOS app. Get push notifications when someone likes your wear, comments on your post, sends a follow request, or invites you to a club.
Clubs
Create or join clubs around brands, styles, or anything else. Invite members, manage roles, and share watches with your community.
@Mentions & Pinned Comments
Tag anyone with @username in comments and posts — they'll get notified instantly. The most-liked comment now pins to the top of each thread.
Close Friends Privacy
New “Close Friends” visibility option for individual watches, your collection, and your wishlist. Share only with people you trust most.
Feed Improvements
Feed loads faster with parallel queries and shows a loading skeleton instead of a blank screen. If something goes wrong, you’ll see a clear error with a retry button instead of silence.
Better Image Handling
Unsupported photo formats like HEIC are detected with a clear error message and suggestion to use JPG, PNG, or WebP. No more broken image previews.
UI Polish
Modals are properly centered on mobile, the bottom nav has better spacing for iPhones with home indicators, and the edit modal got visual refinements.
Smarter Sync
Cloud sync now only uploads changes you actually made instead of your entire collection every time. Faster saves, less data usage.
Offline Support
If you lose connection, a banner lets you know and your changes are saved locally. Everything syncs automatically when you’re back online.
Email Notifications
Get email alerts for comments, follows, friend requests, mentions, and club activity. Toggle each category on or off in the Notifications section on your profile.
Performance & Reliability
Profiles and club pages load faster with parallel queries. Feed fetches only the columns it needs. Graceful error handling throughout — background errors surface clear messages instead of silent failures.
Security
Hardened input escaping, query timeouts prevent hung requests, debounced saves reduce data writes, and graceful session expiry handling.
