Activation Lock is a security feature that Apple has developed to prevent unauthorized access to your Apple Watch. When enabled, Activation Lock requires your Apple ID and password to be entered before anyone can use or sell your device. This feature is automatically turned on when you set up your Apple Watch, but you can also enable or disable it at any time.

2. Tap the “My Watch” tab.

3. Tap “General,” then tap “Apple ID.”

4. Enter your Apple ID and password.

5. Toggle on “Activation Lock.”

Once enabled, your Apple Watch is protected by Activation Lock. If someone tries to use or sell your device, they will be prompted to enter your Apple ID and password.
