Apple Watch S6: does braided wristband hold its shape or does it stretch out over time?

Mine has stretched so much in two weeks the watch thinks I’ve removed it. Must re-enter my password several times a day.

My Braided Solo band stretched a lot in the first 15 days of wearing it. I’ve been trying to get a replacement because it doesn’t fit anymore.
