Hi, I’m planning to buy an apple watch, how can I check authenticity? Can I check the serial number through the apple website or are there any other options? I’m still deciding whether to buy from Apple directly or 2nd hand apple watch. Thank you!
Yes, I was also thinking about buying from apple or authorized apple retailer because some prices from 2nd hand are also high and yea considering the risk also, comparing to the new one.
just to ask also for additional knowledge, does apple watch can be verified also through the apple website just like the airpods and others?
Yes, you can check the serial number to see if it matches an actual Apple Watch and whether it's covered by the warranty, but you can not check to see if it is activation locked.
Cellular models will not work with cell carriers outside the region in which it was originally sold.
Buy directly from Apple or an authorized retailer.
The risk of getting an unusable activation locked device when buying 2nd hand is too high.
