Apple Watch 1st Gen serial number and pairing issue

apple-watch

I am trying to get the serial number of my Apple Watch 1st gen watch.

I can’t get it off the back as wear has scraped it off over time.

I thought I would try and get it off the watch itself in settings, but I can’t pair it to my iPhone 11 (running iOS 14.1). Every time I try to pair, my iPhone tells me I need to have the latest version of iOS on my iPhone. Which I have.

Is there any way I can get the serial number without pairing?

Or is there a way to help me pair it to get the number?

It's under Settings on the Apple Watch.

Tap General then About. Scroll down until you see Serial Number and the IMEI (where applicable). If it's paired to your phone, it's under General → About in the "My Watch" App.
