How do I know if my Apple Watch serial number is real?
To know if your Apple Watch serial number is real, run the Apple Watch serial number check with a specialized tool on this page. If it finds your device and provides details about it, the serial number is real. Note: if you’re buying a used Apple Watch, make sure the serial number matches across the Settings app, the original box, and the receipt. The same is true for other devices, such as AirPods, which you can check by running the AirPods serial number check.
Can I use the model number to verify if my watch is stolen?
No, the model number alone can't verify your watch is stolen. The key indicator is whether the original owner flagged the device as stolen and enabled Activation Lock. In that case, you wouldn’t be able to use the device, as it remains tied to the original owner’s Apple Account.
If the owner didn’t report the watch as stolen or enable Find My, Apple’s system cannot block or track it. This means it’s possible to unknowingly use a stolen Apple Watch.
Before buying a used Apple Watch, ask the seller to remove the device from their Apple Account, verify that the watch can be paired to your iPhone, and ask for original purchase documentation.
What if I can’t find the model number on my watch?
If you can't find the model number on your Apple Watch, check these locations:
• iPhone: Open the Watch app > My Watch > General > About.
• Original packaging: The model number is printed on the box near the barcode.
• Receipt: Typically, it’s near the serial number.
• Apple Account: Go to Devices > [Your Apple Watch].
Alternatively, use the serial number. Entering it in the iWatch serial number lookup will provide insights about your device's model, status, and history.
