How can I tell if the Apple Watch I bought is fake?

I bought Apple Watch from Facebook market place. It was sealed pack, so I didn’t know it was fake. I thought it’s original Apple Watch. Now I can’t pair it with my phone. Something is off.

Can’t pair it. Looks like fake Apple Watch.

It would be very unusual to encounter a counterfeit Apple Watch. Which version is it supposed to be?

Identify your Apple Watch - Apple Support


Please use Set up your Apple Watch - Apple Support as a guide for how it should work and what you should see. If you still have problems please post back with a description of what you see, which step went wrong (the help doc I linked is a good guide to the expected results).


If you want to check whether the watch is genuine, a good place to begin is Apple's warranty checker

Check Your Service and Support Coverage - Apple Support

Just put the serial number in (it should be on the box label and the same serial number physically on the watch)
