How to see the Apple Watch serial number
If you own an Apple Watch this tutorial will come in handy. It is something that everyone should know about any possible breakdown or theft that our device may suffer. It is essential to know the serial number of the Apple watch since it is something that they are going to require from us to prove that the watch is our property and to know its history.
And, recently, our Apple Watch has stopped working. It doesn't charge, it doesn't turn on. It was quite a hiccup as we didn't have access to the serial number via Watch and iPhone (we unlinked it to test if it worked) and the box we throw it away.
That is why we began to investigate and here we show you the three ways to find out this information.
How to see Apple Watch serial number:
1- See it in watch or iPhone settings:

We can see the number by accessing the Watch settings :
- From Apple Watch, open the Settings app.
- Follow the General/Info path below and scroll down that screen and look for the serial number or IMEI.
We can also access this information from the clock settings on the iPhone :
- Access the Apple Watch app.
- Press the My Watch tab and follow the General/Information path below and look for the serial number or IMEI.
2- See the serial number on the Apple Watch box:
IMEI in the box
In the box in which the Apple Watch comes, on the back, we have the serial number of the device.
3- How to see the IMEI on the same Apple watch:
In case you can't access the Apple Watch settings on the watch or on the iPhone and you don't have the watch case Same thing, which happened to us, we can see the serial number on the Watch itself.

- Apple Watch 1 or higher (left image) : Remove the watch band and find the number on the band slot.
- Apple Watch 1 (image on the right) : The serial number is engraved on the back.
Without further ado and hoping to have been very helpful, we look forward to seeing you in our next tutorials.
