Original model, Series 2, Series 3, Series 4, … The truth is that figuring out what model of Apple Watch you have can be difficult sometimes if you are not a scholar on the subject. Maybe this was a gift, which was opened so fast that you didn’t even notice what version it was. In any case, we find several options to know that Apple Watch you have, which is very useful if you want to consult the available features of your watch.
In the original box, if you keep it
As with any device in this class, the original product box carries indications that Apple Watch contains. This is useful not only to see what generation of Watch you have, but it can also help you to know if it is some special model like those that Nike and Hermès have. This is usually seen on the back , next to the barcode and other indications. Here you can also find the material and size of your device.
On the Apple Watch chassis
Are you wearing the Apple Watch? Well, you must take it off to check what model it is without the need to enter settings or make another query. The model, size and some other characteristic are inscribed behind the watch’s chassis. Of course, the letters are small, so we recommend using a magnifying glass or, failing that, taking a photo with the iPhone and enlarging it to see the letters better.
From the clock settings
If you go to Settings> General> Information on the Apple Watch itself, you can find interesting information about your device. What you should look at is the code that appears in “Model” , which begins with ‘A’ and is followed by a four-digit number.

From the iPhone Watch app
The iOS application for the Apple Watch is tremendously important for managing the device. Either to configure certain settings, or to obtain information about it. Luckily, among the information we can access, there is also the model of the watch we have. All this is accessible from My watch> General> Information , looking at the code that appears in ” Model “.
The code that appears should match the ones that appear in the list in the previous section, but it is possible that this code has a different code combination than “Axxxx”. In that case you must click on that same code and you will see how it changes and it already has a combination like the one mentioned above.
