Find the lost Apple Watch with the Find My iPhone app

Like phones and other technology devices, you may lose Apple Watch. Sometimes, you accidentally forget it in a chair or on the bed, somewhere at work or a friend's house. Or, if the worse happens, your Apple Watch is stolen or disappeared and cannot be found. If you unfortunately lost your Apple Watch, don't worry. Apple includes the 'Find My Watch' feature , which provides options to find 'Apple Watch' missing. Here are detailed instructions on what you can do.

Note : There are a few things you need to set up before finding your watch. First, note that you need to run iOS 10 as well as watchOS 3.0 and above. Also, make sure the Apple Watch software is up to date.

Also, remember that clock search will be limited by the hardware you have. For example, you can find all Apple Watch in the iPhone Bluetooth range. This would be great if you just left the watch somewhere in the house or office. But you will have more advantages with Apple Watch Series 2 and above, with integrated WiFi or GPS and mobile data.

The last way: Delete your watch

What if you find that your watch is in a very remote location, unidentified on the map, and you know there will be no chance to find it? For example, when Apple Watch is lost in a taxi or plane, there is no way to find it. At that time, it was probably time to consider the device wipe option.

From the Actions section , click 'Erase Watch' and follow the instructions on the screen. This option will delete the remote clock, including all personal data.

If you have not set this option before you lost the clock, it is not out of the way. If you have enabled the Find My Phone feature on the iPhone, the paired watch will automatically be added to the list of devices.
