Method 1. From the Back of the Apple Watch

The easiest way to know which Apple Watch you have is to look at its back. The back has all the important details engraved on it, such as the watch name (like Series 6, Series 9, etc.), size, material, and whether it’s GPS or cellular.

Check the number after the series number to know your Apple Watch’s size.

If your Apple Watch says Series 7000, it means you have a first-generation (Series 1 or Series 2) Apple Watch. 7000 refers to the grade of aluminum.

Tip:If you see a red color on theDigital Crown of your Apple Watch, it means your watch is cellular in addition to GPS.

Method 2. Look at the Apple Watch Box

Another easy way to identify your Apple Watch is from its box, provided you have it with you. The Watch series will be mentioned on the back of the box.

Method 3. Identify Your Watch Using Model Number

Each Apple Watch series has a unique model number. If the series name isn’t visible on the back of your Apple Watch, use the model number to identify it. First, find the model number, then refer to the model number table to identify your Apple Watch.
