So my watch is lost , but it only tells me last place it was at, my understanding was it’s supposed to tell me where it’s at. So since it’s not saying where it’s currently at then why offer this type of service??? It make me angry

Locating a Lost Apple Watch:


A. Start Here: If your Apple Watch is lost or stolen - Apple Support


B. About the Location:

The location being shown is the location of the device it was last synced with that itself was connected tot the internet. This is because Apple Watches are not assigned their own IP Address. So, if it was not syncing with anything while on you trip, then that would be why it is showing up.


Also...

C. Check you luggage (or what have you).
