Apple Watch

Usually if a device is offline, it won’t let you ping it with Find My. If the device has battery, and is detected by an online Apple device linked to the Find My network, it’s location could potentially be updated.

Me too! Have lost my apple watch since november. Went out of town in december, the watch pinged where i was. Decided to wait until i got back home to see— it pinged at home. Now i’m out of state, and it still pings to wherever i go. Periodically, sometimes early in the morning or late in the day, it will ping wherever my phone is. No luck with the Watch however. Kept thinking it might’ve been in my car, until Find My shows it pings to my exact location which is far far away from my car.

Pretty much my story, too. From the "iCloud Find My" app, watch image shows a blank display and reports "offline," from "MacBook app Find My" blank display and reports "no location found," and lastly, from my "iPhone app Find My" I get these periodic "daily" reports that seems to match where I (and phone) was at that time of the report. My home network has shown it as offline for the last month. I've torn my computer backpack apart three times, hoping to find it, but I am about to just record it as lost and buy a new one!

I am experiencing the same problem! My apple watch is dead (and hopefully at my house), but it pings twice a day wherever my phone is. Find my says it is wherever my phone is, and that it travels from school, work, home, and even vacation out of country. I would love to find the device but I can’t even look at where the located was last pinged before it died. All my other apple devices say when they are dead besides my watch.

That is very strange indeed. Don’t know what to suggest… Never heard of this before.

That is happening to me too. My battery has been dead, but the find my app told me my watch was at my Dr office so I thought it must be in my car, but nope! I have no faith in that app.
