The Apple Watch is available in many generations and models, with distinct features and upgrades for each series. Even if the firm offers a few unique models, it might be challenging to tell which Apple Watch series you possess since several of them have a similar appearance. Therefore, anybody may find this puzzling. Furthermore, you may not remember the model if you purchased an Apple wristwatch a long time ago.
There are a few easy methods to locate your Apple Watch if you're not sure which one you own.

How to Determine the Series of Your Apple Watch
Examining the rear of your Apple Watch is the easiest and first step towards discovering its information.The series, case size, and other details are etched on the rear of each and every Apple Watch. Thus, you may quickly and simply determine the size, edition (Aluminum/Hermès/Nike/Stainless Steel), series, and version (GPS or LTE/Cellular) of your Apple Watch directly from your smartwatch.
To see the back of your smartwatch, just flip it. Next, look for lettering around the circular protrusion that contains all of the sensors. This is where you can discover the materials, glass type, size, version, and Apple Watch series.

Each model number on the Apple Watch Series indicates the device's generation, dimensions, and other information. Either the smartwatch itself or your paired iPhone may be used to quickly determine the model number of your Apple Watch.
