Lost Apple watch

My Apple Watch has been lost for a couple of months. I set the watch to lost mode back in July of this year(2021). Recently my phone is indicating that the last location of the Apple Watch is near my home which was updated 12 hours ago (Nov 23 2021). At the time the Apple Watch was lost the battery was dead. Is it possible that someone has found my Apple Watch and re-charged it? Or is the updated last location a result of the new IOS update ?? Also when I try playing a sound it appears that my phone is able to connect to my watch. Anyone have any idea what could be going on?

I can confirm you guys (if no one had done it yet) that its indeed a glitch from “Find My” portraying your phone location instead of the actual watch location. Lost my apple watch and i know it was dead but “Find My” said it was at a restaurant i had just eaten at and i was so certain i never wore my watch there. Eventually went back to the restaurant and checked with them, said they didnt see anything. Stripped my whole room apart and it was just behind the mattress. So if anyone from apple can fix this issue it would be great.

It’s exactly the same for me, mine has followed me everywhere too. It even managed to follow me in Europe, NY and back to Canada!!!

Apple please fix this issue… it’s so frustrating 🙃
