Ever wondered exactly when you bought your Apple Watch? Maybe you need the purchase date for insurance, resale, or just your own records. Good news – there’s a super simple way to find this information using your warranty details.
In just a few taps on your iPhone, you can figure out the exact month and year of purchase. Let’s get straight to it!
Check When You Buy Apple Watch
- Open the Watch App on Your iPhone
Start by unlocking your iPhone and launching the Watch app. This is where you manage all your Apple Watch settings. - Go to “My Watch”
Once the app opens, make sure you’re on the My Watch tab at the bottom. - Tap on “General”
Scroll down a bit and tap on the General option. - Tap on “About”
Inside the General settings, you’ll see About – tap that. - Find the Warranty Info
Look for Limited Warranty or something similar. Tap on it, and you’ll see the warranty expiration date of your Apple Watch. - Figure Out the Purchase Date
Apple gives you 1 year of hardware coverage from the purchase date.
So, if the warranty expires in May 2026, you likely bought your Apple Watch in May 2025. - Optional: Double Check in Your Browser
You can also visit Apple’s official warranty check page to confirm the same info. It helps if you want extra peace of mind or are buying/selling a used watch.
That’s it!
