Apple Watch unlock?

[Vdecamargo]

My Apple Watch contract ended this month and I’m planning to upgrade to series 6. My question is: it’s my serie 3 going to be unlocked? Same as any other phone on ending contract? So I can give the watch to my son so he can use on his phone?

Hi @Vdecamargo,

Welcome to the EE Community. 🙂

Apple Watches aren't network locked.

Hope this helps.

Hi 

is this the same for Samsung watches too? 
As I was considering giving mine to my daughter when my Apple Watch 6 arrives. 
Thanks

Hi @Marrila 

Sorry about your wait for a reply. 

I've checked with our device team and they've confirmed that no Smart Watches are locked to our network.

But aren't they sync'd to your phone number? I've just upgraded to the 6 so will my old one 'un-sync'?

EDIT: I've just realised that you can do that on the watch app on the phone! I guess what I want to know is; if I want to sell my watch, is there anything else I need to do other than unsync it from my phone?

Hello @tractorboy85. 

If you are looking to sell your old Apple Watch please just ensure it is unpaired from your phone. 

This is all you will need to do. 

Thanks, 

Katie 🙂
