1990s Stainless Steel European Apple Rainbow Logo Wrist Watch

Hi i'm Raphael, i live in Paris and i have an old Apple watch from the 1990s and was wondering if Apple can provide a certificate of authenticity and if it is possible to replace the watch battery.


It is very difficult to find information about this watch. The only website that provides sufficient details is the following:https://lecollector.net/product/vintage-apple-computer-rainbow-logo-french-wrist-watch/


I hope someone from Apple will see my message.

Thanks for your help.

This is a user-to-user forum. Apple employees don't generally participate directly.


Apple has given out a lot of swag over the years. I doubt the give out any sorts of certificates.


You should take it to your local jeweler or watch repair shop to have the battery changed.

Apple gave out a lot of watches, including one that ran backward during their "Think Different" campaign. That is one I have not seen before though.


In any event none of them ever included any such certificates. They were cheaply made and disposable. Their batteries were not meant to be replaced, but they are replaceable like any similar watch from that era. The back probably pries off and snaps back on. Given its rarity I'd have a jeweler replace it.
