My watch has Been stolen I’ve already had it marked as stolen on my phone for a month

Can I erase all messages and contacts from my phone if my Apple Watch is not next to me? And if so how ? I see a erase, option and remove the watch ? Which

one will allow for my data like msg and contacts to be deleted to my watch since it is no longer in my house hold ?

What makes you so certain it was stollen? Perhaps it was lost? Refer to the following…


Troubleshooting a Lost Apple Watch:

Alternatively to using Find My, you'l have to do so the old fashioned way.

So, what to Try:


  • Ask Local Authorities: See if it has be hanged over.


  • Ask Someone: See if someone you know (i.e. Friend, or Family Member) if that came across it.


  • Backtrack your Locations: If you are at a coffee shop, or a library, stop by and see if it was safely placed aside.


  • Post on Craigslist:

Put a post on Craigslist, mentioning specs of it. Include a few photos you may have of this watch.
