Can a serial number/activating warranty show if an item is stolen? - Rednaxela1 - 08-04-2020

I am currently selling a watch i SE'd, it's not got GPS as far as i'm aware, but can a watch by shown as stolen if the person that buys it registers the warranty? Or can the serial number show the item as stolen?

Thanks in advance.

It depends If the company who you've SEd, takes Immediate action by blacklisting the serial/IMEl, or doing It when the new owner registers/activates It.

When Apple takes action, the following message Is returned when trying to activate It.

Spoiler:

On the other hand, they may not take any action.
Who's the company?

What brand/model is the watch?

Which is the company?

When I sold my SEd smart watch I was not having any issues with it being deactivated. I purchased it from Amazon.

It's a Casio watch. It doesn't have GPS/Bluetooth or anything.

Is there any type of connectivity to a network and the like?

If It's standalone without establishing a connection In any way, then It's fine- a device cannot be deactivated If It's not activated to begin with.

You should write an email to the manufacturer of the watch
