Hi XYZ-123-,


If we're understanding correctly, you're not understanding the name listed for your Apple Watch (Or another) in the Find My app.

On your iPhone, if you go to Settings > Tap your name > On the Apple ID screen, scroll down to where your devices are listed. Your Apple Watch should appear in the Find My app as it's shown there.


Is there an unusual character used in your Apple Watch name? Sometimes characters such as "&" aren't translated well, having some extra characters after it.


Also, if someone was signed into a device using your Apple ID, then it will show up on that page. If you think someone may have used your Apple ID, then you'll want to change your Apple ID password, following the steps in these articles:

Here is some information about protecting your Apple ID:

We don't want to overwhelm you with articles, but this is another good article:

Let us know if you have any questions. However, please do not include any personal info, as this is a public forum.


Take care!
