There are a lot of different Apple Watch models available on the market. Which one should you buy? Here is a guide to help you choose the right one for you. If you’re looking for a basic watch that will do the basics, the Apple Watch Series 1 is a good option. It has an OLED display, includes GPS and heart rate tracking, and is available in both 38mm and 42mm sizes. It’s also affordable. If you want something more advanced, or if you want to track multiple devices at once, then the Apple Watch Series 3 is a good option. It has an A12 Bionic chip and includes features like facial recognition and 3D printing capabilities. It’s also more expensive than the Series 1 but offers better features overall. Finally, if you’re looking for something that can be used as your primarywatch, then the Apple Watch Series 4 is a great choice. It has an A13 Bionic chip and includes features like cellular connectivity and water resistance. It’s also more expensive than any of the other models but offers better performance overall.
Find Apple Watch Model from Case
Every Apple Watch has an engraving on the back of the case. This tells you which Series of Apple Watch you’re using, the case material, and the size of the case (in millimeter).
To view the engraving, remove your Apple Watch from your wrist and look at the back of the case.
For example, my Apple Watch’s engraving reads “Series 3, 42mm Aluminium Case, GPS.”
To know if your Apple Watch supports Cellular or not, look at the Digital Crown. If it has a red circle or a red dot on it, you’re using the Cellular model.

Here, go to the “About” section.

The listing will now change to a number beginning with “A.” This is the model number for your Apple Watch. Take note of it.
Now, open Apple Support’s Apple Watch Identification website.
Here, press “Command+F” on your Mac, “Ctrl+F” on Windows, or use the search functionality on your iPhone or iPad to bring up the search tool and then enter the Apple Watch model number. Complete the search to find the details for your Apple Watch.
