How to Find your Apple Watch Model Number
What series does my Apple Watch belong to? This is how to tell the difference between each Apple Watch model, from the most recent Apple Watch 7 to the first-generation Apple Watch Series 1.
If you need to purchase an Apple Watch case or band, or you want to upgrade to the Apple Watch Series 7 and need to know which Apple Watch model you have to trade in, knowing how to recognize which Apple Watch series you have is useful, especially because many Watch models seem identical. Let’s take a look at the best ways to figure out what Apple Watch you have.
How to Find Your Apple Watch Model Number
The Apple model number is the most accurate and convenient way to determine which series your Apple Watch belongs to. The only drawback is that once you’ve discovered the model number, you’ll need to go back and search it up in the Apple Watch generations lists. Don’t worry; I’ve gathered them all below to save you time. First, here’s how to figure out what model of Apple Watch you have:
- On your iPhone, open the Apple Watch app.
- Go to the My Watch page, then to General.
- Tap About.
- Tap on your screen to reveal the model number.
- A new four-digit number followed by the letter A will show once you tap on the number. This is the model number of your Apple Watch.
Your Apple Watch’s model number will inform you which series it belongs to. Can use the table below to check up your model number easily
