Locate Apple Watch but says “no location found”

I miss placed my Apple Watch but when I go to find my and select my watch it says no location found. My location setting is on my phone and watch plus my watch is on cellular data. What else can I do to find it?

Hello Jpuck90,


Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities.


If you aren't seeing the location of your Apple Watch, this could mean the Apple Watch isn't powered on or unable to connect to the internet. Check out the information below for additional assistance, and you can locate more details here: If your Apple Watch is lost or stolen - Apple Support


If you don't see your Apple Watch on the map

If you didn't turn on Find My before your Apple Watch was lost or stolen and your watch isn't connected to Wi-Fi, cellular, or your paired iPhone, you can't use it to locate your device. However, you can use these steps to help protect your information:

1. Place your Apple Watch in Lost Mode. When your watch is in Lost Mode, your passcode is required before anyone can turn off Find My, erase your watch, or pair it with another iPhone.

2. Change your Apple ID password. When you change your Apple ID password, you can prevent anyone from accessing your iCloud information or from using other services from your missing device.

3. Report your lost or stolen device to local law enforcement. Law enforcement might request the serial number of your device. Find your device serial number.

Find My is the only way that you can track or locate a lost or missing device. If Find My isn't enabled on your watch before it goes missing, there is no other Apple service that can find, track, or otherwise flag your device for you.


We hope that's helpful in moving forward with attempting to locate where you last had your Apple Watch.


Have a great day!
