Lost Apple Watch not showing on iCloud

The Apple Watch cannot be deleted from the iCloud account, because it doesn't show up there in the first place. 😟 It only shows up as findable in the paired iPhone as per the instructions but as soon as you click on "Find my Phone" there is no further mention of it, at all.

That ^ is the entire problem. If it did, as we are lead to believe it should- no problem. It really is a weird case...

Not sure why an answer has been apparently marked as "solved" by someone other than myself, but the Apple Watch does not show under My Devices, was found near a known (to it) WiFi network and was, and still is not findable.

There is something else amiss and that is really what I'd like to address. I guess it is a case of:

1. Why does the Apple Watch not show under My Devices (when another one, a Series 1, does)?
2. Why was it not "findable" despite being on and near the WiFi connection it "knows"?
3. How does one resolve this, to avoid a possible repeat? Unpair and re-pair?

Lessons learnt- support cannot answer all questions, no matter how well asked and some things will remain mysteries.

Thanks. That was the first thing I did (even before contacting support), and it is the instructions we can follow until the Find my Watch link on the paired iPhone.

Yes, that explains why it is not on the map (it cannot be). 🙂

But that doesn't explain why it is not listed under My Devices, even if just as offline. It should be there, even if out of range.

So what does one do, given that it is NOT on the list, though it should be?

Then also- if the Activation Lock is on (and it is on, according to the info Apple supply) then it should work as Apple suggest it would. Not that the last point matters an awful lot, but it would be nice to think that if someone has acquired it, they cannot use it. Of course- that is just a pipe dream as support suggested that they can use it. Meh.
