How to Find Out Which Apple Watch You Have

Apple Watch comes in various generations and models, and each series has some unique features and updates. While the company has a few distinctive offerings, some Apple Watches look pretty similar, making it difficult to identify which Apple Watch series you own. Thus, this could be confusing for anyone. Moreover, if you bought an Apple smartwatch long ago, you might have forgotten the model. 

If you aren’t sure which Apple Watch you have, then there are some simple ways to find it. In this article, we’ll show you how to identify any Apple Watch model, from the newest Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 to the decade-old original Apple Watch. So, let’s get started and figure out which Apple Watch you have.

How to Identify Your Apple Watch Series

The first and quickest way to find your Apple Watch details is to check the back of the watch. Every Apple Watch has a series, case size, and other information engraved into the back. So, you can easily find out your Apple Watch series, version (GPS or LTE/Cellular), edition (Aluminum/Hermès/Nike/Stainless Steel) and size right from your smartwatch.

Just flip your smartwatch to see its back. Then check the writing around the round bulge that houses all the sensors. This is where you’ll find your Apple Watch series, size, version, materials, and glass type.
