Before the shortlist was published, the preselection model ranked all 320 2026 entrants. Its forecast shortlist — the top six in each category — caught 43 of 84 of the watches that were actually nominated (51%), against about 37% for a blind guess, a 1.4× edge. These scores are unchanged from that original read; the ✓ marks the entrants that went on to make the six, and the shaded rows are the model's own predicted top six.
The Grand Prix removes the non-shortlisted entrants from its own site once the nominations are out, so this is the only remaining record of the 2026 field. Top 10 per category shown — show all 320.
