Q: Find my iwatch?

In icloud you can link devices (iphone, mac book, etc.,) is there way to link the iwatch to "find my device" in case it is lost, misplaced or stolen?

Thanks

Apple Watch Sport 38mm, iOS 8

There is no "Find My Apple Watch" function. However, you can go to:
http://www.icloud.com
... and sign in using your Apple ID. Then click on "Settings" and you should see your Apple Watch under "My Devices" at the bottom.

From there you can remove the device if it gets lost. I believe that would remove Apple Pay from your Watch, if you have that set up.

Thank you. That's what I gathered, but I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything. There is so much information out there between the MacBook, iPad, iPhone and Watch that I know I am using less than 20% of their capabilities and functions combined.

Glad that helped.

In this initial version, the Apple Watch is closely tethered to the iPhone, relying on the iPhone for even such things as software updates. Who knows what the future might bring regarding a "Find My Apple Watch" capability.

All current watch capabilities are documented here:

That feature will be a part of Watch OS 2 to be released this fall.

1) Go to watch app on linked iphone

2) Select "Sounds and Haptics" > Make sure mute is off and sound volume at max

3) Mute iphone, and then call iphone from different number. Watch should chime/beep, which helps locate.
