In Find My app > Devices > Apple Watch, scroll down to find Mark as Lost and Activate it. Your best chance for getting it back – or preventing someone from erasing its data and reselling it – is to put it in Lost Mode as quickly as possible. If you think someone stole your Apple Watch, or you left it somewhere in public where anyone could find it, don't delay. What to do if your Apple Watch is lost or stolen

You'll see its current or approximate location, plus options to Play Sound, turn on Lost Mode, or remotely Erase Apple Watch. You'll be taken to a map showing All Devices click on that drop-down menu to find your Apple Watch and select it. Go to (opens in new tab) and sign in using your Apple ID. But you can also search for your missing Apple Watch (and iPhone) on your computer if you prefer. This scenario mainly applies if you're also missing your iPhone for whatever reason.

Once you get close, you can go back into Find My, tap the Play Sound command and hope that you can hear it nearby. (If you've uninstalled Apple Maps, you'll need to redownload it before you can use this tool.) This tool inserts your watch's GPS location as the destination in Apple Maps and guides you until you find it. Open the same menu as before: Find My app > Devices > Apple Watch. If not, Apple may be able to show you its last tracked location if you had that setting turned on beforehand. If Apple has a fix on its location, you'll be able to see its position in the Find My app.

But if you have the Find My Network enabled, Apple will use strangers' Apple devices to detect and transmit your watch's location (assuming it's still turned on). Without cellular data, your Apple Watch won't be able to transmit its location unless it happens to be connected to a Wi-Fi network. Your ability to see an accurate, current location of your missing Apple Watch will vary based on whether your Apple Watch model has GPS and/or cellular, if the Watch still has power, and which Find My settings you have enabled or disabled.
