can apple watch transfer data using charging cable?

Hi everyone,


Recently at my job, my boss was going to throw away an Apple Watch Series 3 that had been left at the store by a customer for roughly six months. I'm an IT hobbyist and seeking a career change to IT; I asked if I could have it, as I thought it could be a fun project of some sort. Something I'm curious about is, does the Apple Watch charger support data transfer?

There may be third-party solutions that provide that capability. Google for them. I can't vouch for any of them.


BTW, if it is Activation Locked, Activation Lock is designed to prevent anyone else from using an Apple Watch if it's ever lost or stolen.

About Activation Lock on your Apple Watch - Apple Support


Activation Lock is an anti-theft feature that cannot be bypassed. Only the previous owner can remove the lock by using their Apple ID & password. Apple will not help you find the previous owner. If the previous owner cannot or will not remove the lock, then the watch is useless to you or anyone else.
