What Series is My Apple Watch

As an Apple Watch owner, it’s important to know which series you have, especially when it comes to compatibility with bands, features, or when seeking technical support. Apple has released several series and models over the years, and identifying yours might not be immediately obvious. In this article, we’ll guide you through the different methods to determine what series your Apple Watch is.

Method 1: Check the Apple Watch App on iPhone

1. Open the Apple Watch app on your paired iPhone.
2. Tap the “My Watch” tab at the bottom of the screen.
3. Go to “General” > “About”.
4. Here, you’ll find various information about your Apple Watch, including the Model, which will tell you which series it is.

Method 2: Check Through the Settings on the Apple Watch

1. Press the Digital Crown to go to the home screen on your Apple Watch.
2. Open the Settings app (looks like a gear).
3. Scroll down and tap on “General”.
4. Tap on “About”.
5. Just like in Method 1, you’ll find various details about your watch, including the series.

Method 3: Check the Model Number and Look it Up

Sometimes, the series information might not be directly listed and you might only see a model number. In such cases, you can use this model number to find out what series your Apple Watch is.

1. Follow the steps in Method 1 or 2 to locate the Model Number.
2. Note down the Model Number.
3. Open a web browser and go to Apple’s official identification page: Identify your Apple Watch.
4. Match your model number with the ones listed on this page to determine your Apple Watch series.

Method 4: Physical Inspection

1. Take off your Apple Watch and turn it over so you are looking at the back of the watch.
2. On the back of the watch, there should be text that is etched into the casing.
3. Look for the word “Series” followed by a number. This number represents the series of your Apple Watch.

For example, if it says “Series 4”, you have an Apple Watch Series 4. The original Apple Watch does not have a series number and might simply say “Apple Watch” on the back.

Method 5: Using the Serial Number

1. Obtain the serial number of your Apple Watch by using Method 1 or 2.
2. Visit Apple’s Check Coverage page: Check Coverage.
3. Enter your serial number and fill in the captcha code.
4. This page will display information about your Apple Watch, including its series.

Conclusion

Knowing which series your Apple Watch is can be crucial for various reasons including compatibility, repairs, or even resale. By following any of the methods listed above, you should be able to easily identify the series of your Apple Watch.
