Go to Apple.com or a trusted seller like BestBuy and they will not be fake.

The only upgrades from Series 7 are Series 8 or Ultra

Here are some ways to determine if your Apple Watch is authentic or a counterfeit:


Check the packaging: Authentic Apple Watch packaging should be neat and professional, with the Apple logo clearly displayed. If the packaging is damaged, has spelling errors, or seems unprofessional, it's a red flag that the watch may be fake.


Verify the serial number: The serial number of an Apple Watch can be used to check its authenticity. Go to the Apple website and enter the serial number on the "Check Your Service and Support Coverage" page. If the serial number is invalid or not recognized, it's likely that the watch is fake.


Look at the branding: Authentic Apple Watches have the Apple logo on the back of the case and on the buckle. If the logo is missing or seems to be of poor quality, it's a sign that the watch may be fake.


Examine the charging puck: The charging puck that comes with an Apple Watch should be made of high-quality materials and should have a neat and professional appearance. If the charging puck is flimsy or seems to be of poor quality, it's a sign that the watch may be fake.
