Comments on Shared Links
People you send a wishlist or collection link to can now leave a comment with their name — no account needed. Comments show on the link page for everyone who has it, and you see them under Shared links on the Wishlist and Collection tabs, in the bell, as a push, and by email (at most one per link every half hour; switch the email off under Notifications). You can remove any comment, or revoke the link.
Collection Share Links
The wishlist’s share links now work for your collection too. Tap Share on the Collection tab, tick the watches you want to show — a few for a dealer, the lot for an insurer — and send a link with the photo, brand, model, reference and any link you saved. Add a note to go with it. What you paid, market values, wears, notes and tags stay private, the recipient needs no account, and you can revoke any link you’ve sent.
Wishlist: One View Icon + Ranking Game
The three view buttons at the top of the Wishlist are now one icon that cycles list → brand folders → gallery, just like the Collection toggle. Gallery tiles can be dragged to reorder like list cards. And the Ranking Game now works on your wishlist too. Tap Rank at the top of the Wishlist tab for head-to-head match-ups between the watches you’re dreaming about — tap the one you want more, 3 seconds per round. Save Ranking reorders your wishlist by preference (you can still drag items afterwards), and scores accumulate across sessions, separately from your collection.
Collection Gallery View
See your collection as a wall of photos. The new toggle in the Collection header switches between the full cards and an images-only gallery — same tiles as the Wishlist gallery, following your current sort, tag filter and Post Pics setting. Your choice is remembered. The Ranking Game now lives as a Rank chip in the sort bar, next to the My Ranking order it produces.
Accuracy History
Every measurement that converges cleanly is now kept automatically — no Save tap; use Discard this reading if you don’t want one. And your history lives where you measure: an Accuracy history card under the chart shows the selected watch’s latest reading and trend, and the trend icon in the header (or the card) opens the full view — one dot per day, ±5 / ±15 s/d bands, 1M / 3M / 1Y / All, every reading listed by day. Your earlier measurements have been brought in, so most watches start with a trend already.
Not Worn in a While
Under Today’s Pick, Track now shows the watches that haven’t been on your wrist for 30+ days (or never, since you added them), longest first. Tap one to log it.
Follow From the Bell
When someone likes or comments on your post and you don’t follow them yet, the notification now carries a one-tap Follow (or Request for private profiles) — no detour through their profile. New sign-ups with Google also start with their Google photo as avatar (change or remove it any time in your profile).
Collection Value on Stats
The Collection Value tile on Stats now says when your values were last checked and how many are stale or missing — and tapping it runs Update prices for the whole collection.
Wishlist Share Links
Share part of your wishlist by link. Tap Share on the Wishlist tab, tick the watches you want — or a whole brand folder in one tap — and send a link that shows the photo, brand, model, reference and any link you saved. Add a note to go with it — who it’s for, sizes, budget, anything you want to say. Your prices, notes and tags stay private, the recipient needs no account, and you can revoke any link you’ve sent.
Posting mid-scroll, and where you left off
Two small things to make the Feed easier to live in. Once you’ve scrolled past the top, a Post button now floats in the top-right corner — so when a post gives you an idea, you can share your own without scrolling all the way back up. And a You’re all caught up line now marks the point you reached last time: everything below it you’ve already seen, so you know when you’ve reached the end of what’s new.
Your Month in Review
In the first ten days of each month, a card appears in your feed with the month just gone — swipe it left to right. Your total wears, the watch you reached for most, your top three, how you compared with the month before, your most-liked post, anything new that joined the rotation, and your longest run of logged days. Slides only show up when there’s something to say, so no month looks the same. Tap Share to send it to someone — they’ll get a card they can open without an account. It needs at least 5 wears across 2 watches in the month, and it writes itself — there’s nothing to set up.

Daily Fun Facts
Every watch you wear now comes with a fun fact — a bit of trivia about the model, fresh each day you wear it. You’ll see it the moment you log a wear, and it rides along on your post, so anyone viewing can learn something too — tap it to read the whole thing.
Most Worn Leaderboard
Stats now opens with a Most Worn ranking of your collection, and the period filter adds 1M, 3M, YTD and 1Y alongside All Time. A watch you bought last month no longer sits at the bottom forever — switch to a shorter window to see what you’re actually reaching for. Track also shows each watch’s share of your all-time wears.
Steadier Measurements — and a fuller record
We went back through thousands of real measurements and found Pro V2 was calling its answer before it had listened long enough to earn it. A Balanced reading now takes about 17 seconds instead of 10, and measure the same watch twice in a row and the two numbers land much closer together. Want the old speed? Quick is still there, and Strict now genuinely runs the long analysis it always promised. Saved readings also keep amplitude, how long the measurement ran, and how steady it was, so you can tell a rushed reading from a careful one later on.
Pro V2 Measurement Engine ⚡ — now the default
Our rebuilt timegrapher engine is out of beta and now runs by default on the Measure page — nothing to switch on. It settles fast, holds steady between runs, and measures amplitude (°) — the balance wheel’s swing, a key health indicator watchmakers look at. Needs app version 2.1 or later. Prefer the previous behaviour? Pick Standard from the engine selector anytime. Amplitude shows only when the signal is clean enough to trust — if it’s blank, reposition and try again.
Wishlist Brand Folders
Big wishlist? The new folder view groups watches from the same brand into collapsible folders — tap the folder icon at the top of your Wishlist to try it. Every brand gets a folder, so the list reads the same top to bottom.
June 2026
New Badge: First Video Post
Post your first video to the feed and earn the new First Video Post badge — a photo won’t do it, this one’s for bringing your watches to life in motion.
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.
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.

Advanced Measure Settings
Tap the ⚙ gear on the Measure screen to fine-tune how readings are taken. On Pro V2, Precision trades time for accuracy — Quick (~10s), Balanced (~17s, recommended) or Strict (~33s, tightest) — and Lift angle tunes the amplitude reading to your movement. On Standard, pick an environment preset — Quiet Room, Noisy Environment, or Weak Signal — or adjust Sensitivity and Convergence Speed yourself.
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.

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.

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.

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.
