  3. 3
    Tap About. This option is at the top of the screen.
  4. 4
    Scroll down to the "Model" heading. It's near the middle of the page.
  5. 5
    View the model number. Below the "Model" heading, you'll see a five-character code that begins with "A"
  6. 6
    Open Apple's Watch identification page. Go to https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204507 in your computer's web browser.
  7. 7
    Search for your Apple Watch's model number. On the Apple Watch identification page, do the following:
    • Press Ctrl+F (Windows) or Command+F (Mac) to bring up your browser's "Search" bar.
    • Type in your Apple Watch's model number ("A" included).
    • Look for the highlighted model number on the page.
  8. 8
    Review your Apple Watch's model. The title of the Apple Watch, which includes the generation and the Apple Watch's specific model, is above the highlighted number.
  9. 9
    Discern between similar models. You may notice that two or more Apple Watch models have a highlighted model number beneath them; this is usually because a proprietary Apple Watch that comes with preset apps (e.g., Nike fitness apps) is usually identical to another model that doesn't include the same apps.
    • If you noticed that your Apple Watch has specific apps or features on it which pertain to the Apple Watch's title on Apple's website, you have the proprietary model.
